    Ok I did a stupid thing.
    While looking around for a Wii points generator, which in itself is wrong, I got malware'd. Bad karma I guess.
    This is the url(less the beginning due to unwanted linking) of the youtube video linking to the 'generator'
    *outube.com/watch?v=7BQTAiYqwWs
    Program is titled 'dwaynes generator.exe'
    Upon running, it installs malware and then deletes itself.
    I did this 12/31/09.
    It seems to not cause too much harm, other than randomly sending me to various sites such as www.thewebsitesurvey.com.
    For a bit I was having an issue with win7 crashing due to 'could not start plug and play services' error, but this may have been from me trying to remove it manually. I had ran a full sweep twice with Avast, and Mbam which cleaned up some old un-related issues.

    I followed all steps in the read me thread, with exception to the root repeal, which errored out upon startup with 'could not load drivers'. I ran another rootkit program, but it did not give me a log of what it found.

    Attached are all logs.

    Issue is still present.

    Thanks!

    My problem got 10000000% worse. I had a plethora of random virus, trojans, etc pop up out of nowhere every 5 minutes, every browser hyperlink was hijacked, lost access to important windows folders(even on admin) programs wouldn't run etc etc sob sob sob.....
    I got frustrated and burnt a new Ubuntu netbook 9.10 ISO CD, wiped my NTFS partition (after backing up all important documents) and installed.
    I must say I am 100% happy with this new Ubuntu although the process of mitigating over is a bit... frustrating. I haven't used a linux-based OS in at least 10 years so this completely beats my expectations. (also put on Compiz, google it, it's the bomb). No problem using Wine to run my win32 applications (except some .net dependent installation programs)

    SO in other words I hope nobody has taken the time to look through my logs because I no longer need the advice, I took the brute way out of it.

    Thank you for your time, I really do admire what you guys do, I hardly have the patience to do virus removal on my own PCs let alone someone elses; I work as a cable technician and I run into customers complaining of slow HSI and the problem is actually a virus I may or may not attempt to remove it, I just don't have the time usually.

    I just hope the information I provided could help someone else out, especially since I knew the root source of the issue.
