    Hi
    Could someone help me with my spyware problem please.
    Recently I have been plagued by rogue exe files attempting to connect to the internet.
    I can block them with my firewall and then stop the process in task manager and delete the files , which appear in the local settings temp folder , however they are soon replaced by another .
    They are all randomly named with letters and numbers.
    I have the Virgin media PC Guard running along with spywareblaster.
    I have run spybot s&d and immunized everything but to no avail.
    Attached are a Hijackthis log and combofix log which I've just run.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    We don't ask for HijackThis logs in the READ & RUN ME because we don't need you to run it. Especially when you do not have the correct version and it is not installed properly. HijackThis is already built-in to the MGtools.exe procedure that you were supposed to be running. And it will install the correct version and run it properly. You need to attach the requested log from MGtools. See the READ ME. Delete the HijackThis.exe file that you have here:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Derek Ross Smith.DELBOY\Desktop\Downloads\HijackThis.exe

    Two comments about this:
    1. You must make sure you are Downloading the MGtools.exe not Running or Opening it from the website. The instructions say to download and save the file to the root folder of your Windows boot drive which would normally result in having a C:\MGtools.exe file. You then run it from your hard disk.
    2. You also must make sure that when you login to Major Geeks that you check the box that says Remember Me
