Some Spyware and Explorer Problems

Im having some trouble now that has been lasting a month. And i just drag the window to the side so it doesnt really bother me.


I refuse to reformat due to how much i would have to backup but i defrag etc on a reg basis.

My explorer.exe on startup gives me a error msg saying msvcrt.dll
I followed someone's instructons on REPLACING the dll with a downloaded one from microsoft did that and nothing happened i also have NUagent.exe and NUWatch.exe and cant seem to remove them.

Here is a hijack this

Hi Kevin87,
Welcome to Major Geeks!

Your hijackthis shows you have malware. You need to run through the READ & RUN ME FIRST so we can help you get rid of it. When you get done, attach the requested logs and someone will go through them for you.

Also, not backing up your files is a bad idea. I recommend as soon as your computer is deemed malware free, that you back up everything. The reason for this is that your hard drive can stop working suddenly and then you can't back them up at all.
