    Not sure where it all began but I'm just about 100% sure it is 1 of these 3 that I got from this site:

    h t t p : / / w ww.desktopgadgets.com

    I downloaded:

    Stickies
    OMNI analogue
    Neowin RSS Reader

    Then I downloaded something I got from a link in the RSS reader. I can't get the link anymore because I cleared all my cache / history / cookies. However, it was something related to "weather" script, worked fine too and used MS .Net framework and was "Weather Channel" integrated (www.weather.com).

    Software I Ran (Xp Pro Safe Mode) latest definitions:

    CCleaner
    HiJack This
    Spybot
    S&D
    Spyware Blaster
    MS Antispyware
    Trend Micro Antispyware
    CWShredder
    AdAware
    Spybot
    Spyware Sweeper

    Specs:
    XP Pro
    IBM Thinkpad
    Norton 2005 Antivirus

    Problems I noticed to confirm some spyware:
    My personal site, can't see portions (works on other computers).
    I can't input in certain text field boxes including RSS reader (was working prior)
    Download.com - can't click on "expand" in software list
    Some portions of download.com missing (download links)

    Another example of messed up browsing is the "fast reply" button won't even work

    Norton 2005 Antivirus options all appear blank, can't modify anything either.

    Serious stuff

    I did everything already. Sorry about posting the logs here, was not aware.

    Where do I attach logs? I don't see attach button anywhere.

    I can't even use "tab", can't type in certain field boxes, can't even run online virus check from trend or others. That's how bad this spyware is.

    I'm familiar with vbulletin but it is not there unfortunately.

    I have a site using vbulletin too. Pretty sure it is only first post that can post attachments.

    All I see is:

    Valid file extensions: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg log pdf png psd txt zip

    I think the spyware is screwing up the buttons too.

    I also ran Ewido already as well. Cleaned 8 infections, rebooted - same issue.

    Please download Blacklight to its own folder...

    F-Secure Blacklight

    After download is complete, double click to run the program. Click "Accept" to procede. Then click SCAN to begin scanning your system.

    Once the scan is complete it will attempt to clean the found infections. There should be a log in the folder that you ran the program from, attach this log to your next post along with a fresh HJT log.
