    Despite my efforts the past three weeks and the assistance of a helper from another forum, I have not been able to eradicate this pest. It first manifested as a browser hijacker. If I clicked on my search engine results I was redirected to random advertising sites. My cursor pulses at five second intervals and system loads slowly.Both Spybot and AVG detect nothing, MBAM did detect and quarantine some items and ComboFix acted on some Root Kit activity. However the only issue that seems to have resolved permanently is the browser Hijacker issues all other symptoms reoccur shortly after action is taken, seems to suggest a Trojan with a back door. Latest Avir scan shows a hidden object.
    Very frustrating, help please.

    Thanks

    Please attach the log from Avira as I am not seeing any malware in your logs. Please do an online scan:
    eSet Online Scan.

    Good Day TimW,

    Here are the requested files.
    After the scan I am still experiencing the same symptoms.

    Thanks

    I did not see any issues in the Avira scan and eSet removed the two items it found.

    So you are not having redirects any more? This may be something to discuss in the software forum.

    Just so I can double check, run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    Then attach the below logs:

    * C:\MGlogs.zip

    Yes I am no longer getting redirects, however the cursor continues to pulse at five second intervals. Once I receive an all clear regarding malware, I will follow your software forum suggestion. While running the requested scan I did get the following exception. Process ID=0x1010 (4112) Thread ID=0x1dec (7660)

    Thank You
