    I have been trying to fix a friend's computer, and there is one file that we know is the problem that won't come off. I have tried everything I know how and so have been searching the net, but only thing I could find was this: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/help-my-personal-settings-have-dissapeared/

    So now I have decided to make another entry about it. The topic was posted on June 27, 2008, so this may be a fairly new virus that other's have not encountered. The file itself is planted in the C:WINDOWS/system32 folder and everytime we restart it reappears there. I am asking for help, included is the computer's HijackThis log, the file I am looking to remove is:

    " C:\WINDOWS\system32\lphcpsej0et5j.exe " and on AVG it registers on the residential shield as trojan horse generic_c.0YJ and because of it, all of my friend's personal settings are gone.

    Thank you.

    I have already done the majority of the first stuff, but not clean the startup programs with C_Cleaner. I've had a problem installing Spybot, it was like the server hosts wouldn't connect to it. I'll try downloading and running it again and see where that gets me.

    You need to attempt to run all steps in the order written. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. When finished, attach the requested logs.
