    Ok, I have this weird running process called "system.exe" that a google search tells me is the Trojan.Mitglieder.B trojan but I suspect it is something else.

    My Vet Antivirus is supposed to be able to remove this, but so far it refuses to even find it. Furthermore, it somehow cloaks itself from HijackThis searches, and I cannot locate it manually. See pic:

    Right clicking and ending process in task manager does nothing... it just dosent close. However, right clicking and choose End Process Tree gives me this weird 60 second count down and then everything reboots. See 2nd pic:

    Anyone know whats up with this? I'll post my hijack this log file incase it helps at all, but as I already stated, it appears that hijack this cant actually find the file.

    If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. thanks..

    That's a valid windows system process.

    Do not post logs in the manner in which you posted yours, always include logs as attachments.

    Your log shows no signs of infection.
