    Winhound / malware please god help me

    Hello, i have found out by using adware se that i have malware running and i can't seem to fix it, i removed all of it from my temp / temp int files and such and scanned it all with my spyware tools but heres the problem, EVERY time i restart "winhound" gets created and executed and starts running, don't know what it is never wanted it on my computer and don't know how to get rid of it i un install it and remove all of the files and exe's with it but it comes back and remakes itself every restrart. every time win hound runs... adware finds like 97 new files (all labeled "malware.psguard" ) that i have to remove, so i tried to find out what processes were running that i don't normally know of on start up and the only thing i saw was "userinit.exe" that i was unfamiliar with... "every time i restart a winhound.exe" appears in my temp folders and executes itself.

    i tried going through the help site using the "autoruns" program but i really don't know what files to disable and i could really use some help... my buddy is giving me his norton antivirus that he never installed so maybe that will help but please if u have any suggestions please help :(

    i used the autorun folder and "deleted the autorun for winhound" but it keeps reapearing in there..

    i took a picture of my processes during my start up here it is

    Please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:

    I ran through all of your steps on the main thread, and everything was working fine, it found some things and "removed them", but the minute i closed out of spysweeper i opened IE and went to www.ebay.com to check some auction and i instantly got hit with the winhound again.... the program showed that it removed it and all but it's back.... someone please tell me what they think i should do, im about to reformat because im so frustrated but i REALLY rather not
