    I cannot get rid of this thing. when i try to delete it from the command prompt, it says it is in use by another program. The other file in c:\windows\system32\drivers that was installed on the same date and time is bthmodemm.sys and it is also in use by another program when i try to delete it. any help would be greatly appreciated. also i downloaded hijackthis and ran a scan and saved a log.

    TimW. I have run all of the required malware removal programs and scans and even went a step further and cleaned my registry at my own risk. Everything seems to be fine. I have searched through directories and the registry to see if anything was left behind, and I believe most of it, if not all of it was removed. PC is running great. thanks for your help and time.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
    * Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    2. If we used ComboFix, you can delete the ComboFix.exe file, C:\ComboFix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, C:\combofix.txt and C:\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt logs that was created.
    3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
    4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
    5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.

    7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
    8. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    9. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    10. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
