    HI you will need to complete your guide below, as that trojan can be linked to a LOP infection, so the below should highlight if that is the case,



    - 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.


    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 and attach a log:

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis


    When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
    • Bitdefender
    • Panda Scan
    • HijackThis
    .

    You have to be paitient, we are volunteers here; and aren't always online. Chaslang and myself are the only 2 who work this forum regularly. Halo, helps out when neither one of us are around.

    HijackThis is not correctly installed, move it to C:\Program Files\HJT.

    That is a very incomplete HijackThis log. Whatever you are using MSCONFIG to disable don't. I need to see everything. Don't use MSCONFIG to get into Safe Mode unless absolutely necessary. Enable all processes and services you stopped with MSCONFIG, reboot to Normal Mode and run HijackThis and save the log.

    First follow the directions for Running Hoster. Then run HijackThis.

    Post a fresh HijackThis log from Normal Mode.

    A "Thumb Drive" is a USB Flash Memory Stick.

    You said you followed the directions in the READ ME. It is explain in the directions as part of step 7.
    And Shadow is correct. You did not attach a complete HijackThis log. Make sure your next one (after running Hoster) is a complete log.

    Download
    - Pocket Killbox

    Running processes:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sessmgr.exe <<=== This belongs to the Remote Desktop Assistance Program. Are you running this for some reason?
    C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01\bin\jusched.exe <<=== Your version of Java is extremely out-of-date. Install version 1.5.0_07 available from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. Make sure you uninstall all older versions of Java
    C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe <<=== This is Windows Messenger and should NOT be running on a Home Computer. Disable Windows Messenger by running Shoot The Messenger.
    C:\Program Files\HijackThis.exe <<=== HijackThis still is not in the proper location. Move HijackThis to C:\Program Files\HJT before proceeding any further.

    Now Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:
    Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

    Now run Pocket Killbox:

    Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click the RED X.

    Run Killbox.exe. Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note many of the file list below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.
    If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

    Now boot into SAFE MODE

    Open Windows Explorer navigate to and DELETE the following: (Some of these may have already been deleted by Pocket Killbox)
    Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.

    REBOOT to Normal Mode.

    Follow the directions for the following procedures:
    - Running WinPfind by OldTimer
    - Using GetRunKey

    Post WinPFind.txt, runkey.txt and a fresh HijackThis log.
