    Can some shed some lights on this log and help. It's more than I can understand. I followed 'the' steps but somehow I know I still have a malware/virus (if nothing else...) that rename itself everytime I boot - I monitored with PREVX1 for a while. That's how I know.

    Many thanks.

    I did run all the procedures - I just didn't attached them all.
    Here are all of them now. I also have the AdAware log if you need it - as well as the CounterSpy log and the CCleaner log

    Thanks

    Scan and have HJT Fix the following:
    Download
    - Pocket Killbox

    Now run Pocket Killbox:

    Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click the RED X.

    Run Killbox.exe. Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion…say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note many of the file list below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.
    If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

    Now boot into SAFE MODE

    Open ExplorerXP navigate to and DELETE the following: (Some of these may have already been deleted by Pocket Killbox)
    Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.

    REBOOT to Normal Mode.

    Post a fresh HijackThis log.

    That appears to have done the trick. Your HijackThis log is clean.

    You are running WIndows XP w/ SP1. You should really install SP2 and run Windows Update to bring your machine up2date. As it stand now your computer is vulnerable to re-infection.

    Lets flush all your restore points and create a new clean one for your system.
