    The other day despite my better judgment I downloaded a keygen I know should not have and it went ahead and infected my computer with a virus (or 2, or 50).
    I've run pretty much everything I can, followed a malware disinfection guide from majorgeeks.com and am now turning to you guys for help.

    I believe I've removed most of the problem virus'/malware/spyware. However it's left my system a little sluggish. Meaning, instead of a 1 minute windows boot its about 3. Programs take closer to 20-30 seconds instead of 2-5 seconds and web page loading is ridiculously slow, meaning more than a minute.

    I am running:
    XP pro sp2
    P4 prescott 2.6Ghz
    2 gb Ultra PC6400 DDR
    Asus P4P800 se mobo
    Western Digital 80 gb 7200rpm
    G-Force FX6600

    I have ran and attached hijackthis, combofix, and McAfee Rootkit logs

    You have the new Vundo infection ...lucky you. Let's try to get you clean.

    First:
    Download and save RenV.exe to Desktop (must be on the Desktop).

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as Log.txt to your desktop.
    Code:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ntuser .exe
    C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDDaemon .exe
    C:\Program Files\RivaTuner v2.03\RivaTuner .exe
    C:\Program Files\SlySoft\CloneCD\CloneCDTray .exe
    C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg .EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\Acecad\Wtxpload .exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\lanmanwrk .exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\NeroCheck .exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZPOINT32 .exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\win32 .exe
    
    * Now using your mouse, drag Log.txt onto RenV.exe
    * When finished, RenV.exe will produce a new log. Attach the new Log.txt to your next reply.

    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.
    Now:
    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
