    Been a while since i re-installed win.
    Ever since the 1st boot i have been getting some sort of windows announcements telling me to go to a website and download this and scan that ...
    Evan i know windows does not warn you about infections

    So i have run countless scans and almost all of them found the same problems.
    Naturally i clicked remove but they still come up in scans over and over

    Most of them are in Windows/System32/
    wzcfsw.dll
    ddserh.dll
    sgdewg.dll
    fmcvxy.dll
    tdfhex.dll
    hqghumea.dll
    AclLayer.dll
    etc...

    They are just to stubborn to go away and they seem to be multiplying

    Please help!

    Let's begin with this:

    Run this: Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    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 download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

    * Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    * Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    * Do not change any check box options!!
    * Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

    * Now click the Execute button.
    * Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    * Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    * Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    * A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

    Be sure to tell us how things are running.

    Hello TimW thx for the reply

    i did all the steps you intructed me to to
    only this line was still present in HJT after the scan:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "E:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe"

    fixed that , then did the reg edit

    on Avenger however the command

    KILLALL::

    Files to delete:
    E:\WINDOWS\system32\hqghumea.dll
    E:\WINDOWS\system32\wingatey32.exe
    E:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\DesktopWin.dll

    returned with an error :
    Error:invalid script. A valid script must begin with a command directive.
    Aborting execution!

    I did disable windows system restore and did a scan with Kaspersky virus removal tool
    Had a suspicion since thouse files are coming back over and over again also did install Sygate Personal Firewall since some of them ware trojan downloaders

    anyhow the point is that thouse files aren't there anymore so i guess i'm clean now :)
    Thank you verry much :)

    The avenger log just shows that I need to get more sleep.....let's do a little bit more:

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    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 run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file.
