Windows Live and StopZilla are very low on my list of things to use.

Do you have any idea what all the below new files are from? Are they from StopZilla

Your logs appear to be clean!

You said you have Windows Onecare Live! I do not see it installed!

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
   • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix, you can delete the ComboFix.exe file, C:\ComboFix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, C:\combofix.txt and C:\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt logs that was created.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
8. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
9. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
10. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
11. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

i uninstalled windows onelive care when i first came on the site cuz it said not to have more than one virus protection program installed.
Also the new files maybe from avg everytime i reboot it says that i am now updated and secure.

what program should i use for protecting my computer?

on reboot stopzilla comes up with detection of trojans in register key HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet... saying it infection name is "CatchMe"

But you only had one and that was Windows Onecare. You don't have another antivirus installed.

No I don't believe that they are from AVG Antispyware.

This is a false indication. It is detecting what ComboFix installed. CatchMe is part of a rootkit detection tool that ComboFix uses. CatchMe is really from the people who created the program named GMER.

Where do you have the combofix.exe file installed? You can run combofix /u from a command prompt to uninstall it but you need to have combofix.exe in your path or you need to give the fullpath in the command. When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

We requested that you download ComboFix to your Desktop. The command I gave you to uninstall it it will not work if it is not on your Desktop.

[technique333]

so do i just re download it to my desktop or what do i have to do?

[chaslang]

You can move the file you already have to your Desktop or you can delete the one you have and redownload to your Desktop and then run the command to uninstall it.

[technique333]

alright thanks for everything. I will update you on how the computer is running soon, i am just busy with stuff right now. It seems ok just the page loading is kinda slow for being on a cable modem.
