    I can't run hijackthis or do any scanning - as soon as it scans a certain file or the virus/malware thinks it might get nailed it shuts my pc down. I have followed all procedures, but I can never finish them. Even running ccleaner reboots my computer. When I visit this forum it reboots my pc.. Amazing! What can I do?

    I would first try doing the scans in safe mode....let us know how that works.

    You could also uncheck the box to auto restart on errors and see what the BSOD error is.

    Doing the scans or visiting this forum in safe mode -> same thing, reboot

    I have followed your instructions to disable reboot - and it says 'a driver has overrun a stack-based buffer: this overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine'

    Hope you can help..

    What happens when you run MGTools.exe?

    Do you know what file the scans stops at?

    Its too quick to see what the scan stops at. However running MGtools worked. Ill attach it here.

    This time I ran mgtools.exe from the C root like it says in the instructions; the previous attachment was ran from the desktop

    Good news.. looks like I was able to get rid of it after running various tools from the UBCD4win aka Ultimate Boot CD for Windows.

    I have no idea what it was.. maybe you can still find some remainders in my logs..

    Well...whatever it was there is not much left of it. :)

    Let's do this:

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file and we will see if you are clean.
