    It all started with something called spyquake...now this trojan-vbstat-c and I don't know what else. I've run AVG, Spysweep, removing things with Hijack This, Safe Mode scans, etc but to no avail. Can someone please advise me? Here's the most recent Hijack This Scan:

    Hi and Welocme


    First go through this section on SpywareQuake & SpyFalcon Removal Procedure


    then complete the below guide and attach the logs requested,

    Our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    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.


    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • 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!

    I'm following instructions for Spyware Quake & SpyFalcon removal but the first problem reveals itself: Safe Mode boot gets to the log in screen and desktop icons briefly display themselves, then the screen goes black with the only thing displayed being the word "safe mode" and a string of text at the top describing the Windows XP version...

    Followed instructions but couldn't Safe Boot, then couldn't access any Explorer directories (which made the instructions impossible to follow), so reformatted secondary hard drive and reinstalled XP.
