    Help! I have read and re-read the malware removal instructions and have been following it repeatedly for over 5 days. I also tried doing the quake ware removal method too. My problems started last week when I think I downloaded the quake virus- the web page I was viewing began shaking then my IE home page was changed and I was getting the pop up in the bottom left hand corner. Well, I seem to have taken care of all of those issue but I still cannot access any of my MSOffice files and the icon for my C: drive is just a little piece of paper (I'm not very computer savvy) and whenever I click the (C:) drive CounterSpy tries to install. In the midst of all this I tried to renew my Norton subscription, I was able to download it but I cant open it. I would appreciate it if someone would look at my HJT log and let me know what looks a little off. I have run all of the required scans and now I am at my wits end. BTW, this is my work computer (very small office, no IT dept.) and my boss has been very understanding but this is starting to fade. I also called in the Geek Squad last week and they worked on it for 2 1/2 hours and they still didn't fix it. I tried to get them back out but they are telling me a week. I can't wait that long

    If you have follow the procedure for removing SpywareQuake your should have attach the log that was requested. However, the procedure has been updated multiple times in the last day because several new forms of infection have shown up. Please re-run the steps in the below link and MAKE SURE you redownload both SmitRem.exe and the fixquake.reg patch in the procedure. They have changed.

    Also if you ran the READ & RUN ME, you should have attached the logs requested in step 6 for both online scanners.

    Please attach the new smitfiles.txt log and the 2 logs from step 6 of the READ ME now. Also tell me how things are working now.
