    Two weeks ago i got an error from DrWatson Postmortem Debugger.
    I did'nt think it was anything so i closed it.
    The next day I got the error again and the error kept poping up everytime I closed it and eventualy my computer crashed.
    I restarted thinking maybe it was just something to do with the program I was using.
    I got it a few more times, I started to become suspisous.
    I did some searching on it and found out a virus (AceBot Torjan Virus) uses the error and DrWatson postmortem Debugger as a disgues.
    I found a few people with the same porblem and foudn some directions for removal but noticed it was only directed to them and I couldnt apply them fully to my situation.
    So I need some help from you guys, hopefully you can help me out. :D
    I have also read through the guide but I couldnt get rid of it.

    So here is my Hijackthis log and i'll have a bitdefender soon.

    Welcome to MajorGeeks.com, please follow our standard cleaning procedures:

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif 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.
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif 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.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifAfter doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below thread to properly use HijackThis and attach the log:

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis
    • Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around..
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif In your next post, please make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order:
    • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
    • Bitdefender - from step 6
    • Panda Scan - from step 6
    • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
    • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
    • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
