Hi, I have been battling with some malware for a while. AVG reports Trojan Horse Agent AKXF and a file skp6.exe and various versions of that exe. Like skp66.exe, skp6(1).exe etc.

I have run AVG in safe mode and it finds threats and removes them. I have also run Avast and it has done the same. Malwarebytes Antimalware – this finds threats in the registry and removes them. Have run Spybot Search and destroy and Ad-Aware. I have updated all of these programs with the latest updates. I have turned off System Restore. I have scanned the PC over and over but it just keeps coming back. It seems fine for a day or so then it just comes back. What can I do now?

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
