    On my real time scanning on bitdefender it found the following: "GenPacK:Win32.P2P.SpyBot.35BA8653" and claimed the program was "cyc.exe"

    it said it blocked the virus and my computer has not been infected, so since bitdefender doesn't remove viruses I tried to do it myself, i tried to delete "cyc.exe" and then it said "cannot read from source file or disk" so then i downloaded this program http://www.jrtwine.com/Products/DelFXPFiles/

    in an attempt to remove "cyc.exe", and the program wouldn't delete it either, so how do i get rid of this program?

    Typically, when a program won’t delete it is being used by something and hence locked. In this case probably BitDefender locked it. You have couple of choices – but all of which you will need to know the exact path of the file.

    - You can reboot into the command prompt, navigate to the file and delete it.
    - You can reboot in safe mode, and as long as the file isn’t executed by something else, you can then navigate and delete it.
    - Or you can use a program like Unlocker to navigate to the file, unlock it, then delete it.
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/Unlocker_d4660.html

    I like that choice because if it is a virus and you reboot, there might be the chance it will execute. Hence, make CERTAIN before you reboot to run msconfig and verify it is not in your start up.

    Then, reboot in safe mode and rescan to verify there are mo other traces.

    All that said – you should also make a back up copy of that file just in case of a false positive hit from Bitdefender.

    Windows Messeger is running in the background on this computer, and represents a security risk. Disable Windows Messenger by running Shoot The Messenger. If you are using this as your IM client then replace it with MSN Messenger.

    Follow the directions for Running Hoster.

    Click on Start, then Run ... type services.msc into the box that opens up, and press 'OK'.

    On the page that opens, scroll down to rundll.exe ... right click the entry, select 'Properties' and press 'Stop Service'. When it shows that it is stopped, next please set the 'Start-up Type' to 'Disabled'. Press 'OK' until you get back to Windows.

    Next, run HJT, but instead of scanning, click on the 'None of the above, just start the program' button at the bottom of the choices. At the lower right, click on the 'Config' button, and then the 'Misc tools' button ... select 'Delete an NT Service' ... copy/paste the following into the box that opens, and press 'OK':

    rundll.exe

    In HJT Choose Open the Misc Tools Section choose Process Manager, Highlight:
    Choose Kill Process

    Now Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:
    Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

    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.

    first off i can't stop the run dll files or delete anything associated with them because when i started up windows i got a bunch of rundll errors because i stoped rundll.

    well i booted up my computer in safe mode and got rid of cyc.exe but now theres a brand new problem that has just occured, my bitdefender has literrally found dozens of trojans in my registry and temporary internet files and "c:/" and i tried to delete them in safe mode but then they just came back when i booted it up in normal mode. these trojans that are in my computer are causing many many unwanted popups (thats consistantly popping up might i add) and a complete slowdown in my machine, bitdefender said i had somethin like 147 viruses that i don't even know where to begin to get rid of them. so im requesting your help cuz i really think my computer has alot of spyware and viruses and trojans and spybots on my machine ill post my bit defender event logs and my hijackthis logs. my virus scan log is to big (i'd have to email it)

    I'm not sure what you stopped, when you ended rundll.exe; but it stopped whatever was stealthing several infections.

    • Download Qoofix to your Desktop or any other convient location
    • Unzip the files from Qoofix.zip to a convenient location such as C:\Qoofix.
    • Navigate to the folder you unzipped the files to and double click on the file named Qoofix.exe.
    • Finally, select Begin Removal and the removal process will commence. A reboot may be necessary if an infection is found.

    ok i did the qoofix and it didn't find anything and then i did a panda online scan and i couldn't keep up the webpage because popups would keep replacing the page i was already on. But i did get a bitdefender scan since i have bitdefender, and it found many things. I'm including my bit defender log and hijackthis log.

    ugh --- tell Karen that's what she gets for cheating on games. ;)

    Given the # of infections it might be a good idea to toss something o there that has a decent chance to remove them automatically.
    Try running this and the lets look at that HJT log again.

    Whenever the trojan remover comes across a trojan it says this: (and won't remove it)

    "THIS FILE IS IN-USE - IT CANNOT BE SCANNED.

    Trojan remover is unable to scan this file as it is either locked, or being used by another application. Some malicious files deliberately lock themselves in this way to prevent themselvesfrom being scanned.

    If you believe that this file is malicious you can select the appropriate option below to prevent the file from loading.

    If you are sure that the file is not malicious select the option to exclude the file from future scans.

    If you are not sure whether the file is malicious you are reccomended to seek advice before taking any action to this file."

    So I ran Hijackthis and removed the lines you told me to, and it was removing them and then i got this error:

    HijackTHis cannot repair 010 Winsock LSP entries.
    You should use LSPFix for that, which is available from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm.

    If the 010 item belongs to WenHancer, New.Net or CommonName, Spybot and S&D can remove it
    automatically. Spybot S&D is available from
    http://www.spybot.info/.

    Then it continued removing lines and asked me to to restart my computer so i did and i put it in safe mode and then ran trojan remover and it removed all of one trojan without any errors and it's obvious i have a lot more than one trojan. Trojan remover asked for a restart so i restarted it in normal mode and when i got to the desktop i got this error:

    RUNDLL

    An exception occured while trying to run ''''C:\WINDOWS\system32\oohlp30e.dll" ,DllGetVersion"

    Then trojan remover automatically did a scan and everytime it found a trojan it did this same error again:


    "THIS FILE IS IN-USE - IT CANNOT BE SCANNED.

    Trojan remover is unable to scan this file as it is either locked, or being used by another application. Some malicious files deliberately lock themselves in this way to prevent themselvesfrom being scanned.

    Making some progress....

    Remove this:
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad - C:\WINDOWS\system32\dnr8019ue.dll

    Are you usig VoipBuster.com Stteam or ProxyWay – If not delete these lines:
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Steam] "c:\program files\valve\steam\steam.exe" -silent
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [VoipBuster] "C:\Program Files\VoipBuster.com\VoipBuster\VoipBuster.exe" -nosplash -minimized
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ProxyWay] C:\Program Files\ProxyWay\proxyway.exe

    No point in arguing with suggestions
    Get LSPfix http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4180.html
    And Spybot http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2471
    Also CCleaner http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_No_Yahoo_Toolbar_English_d4191.html

    Run LSPFix (its self explanatory)

    Install SpyBot and update the data file then run it.

    Install cleaner and run it (default install items should be fine)

    Verify Trojan remover data file is current (utilities  check for online updates)

    Reboot in SAFEMODE – and rerun Trojan Remover.

    Get a doughut -- eat it. You are having a hard day, reward yourself.

    While you are at it re-run bit defender.

    Reboot back in normal mode and let see what she looks like then

    I ran lspfix, spybot, and ccleaner. Both ccleaner and spybot found many things that i clicked
    to remove.

    then i restarted in safe mode with networking and updated trojan remover and did a scan and
    trojan remover found one file and gave me the same error:

    I put my computer in normal mode and trojan remover did a scan and trojan remover found 2 things
    but it also just gave me that same error for each of the 2 things it found.

    I've posted my bitdefender and hijackthis logs...bitdefender has found even more viruses so..

    Hmmm --- well this line needs to go.
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: Nls - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jt6u07j9e.dll

    We may have to resort to the old “delete by hand” method, Get Pocket Killbox and extract it to your desktop.
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/Pocket_KillBox_d4709.html
    -----
    Now run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
    Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files.
    Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.
    Now back on Killbox's main window, Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time from your bdscan.txt file. 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.
    -----
    You do not want the descriptions, just the names for example.
    C:\626_101newer.exe
    C:\ac3_0003.exe
    ETC --

    Also you need only to post once.

    I removed every virus with killbox and just as i was getting to the end of the virus list i accidently pressed restart and then it restarted with no errors, but i remembered what virus i was on and then continued deleting them until i was finished. On the last file i clicked for the computer to restart and then it gave me this error:

    PendingFileRenameOperations


    PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been removed by External Process!


    So instead i manually restarted the computer.

    I did a new bitdefender scan and it still found a lot of viruses.

    Im attaching my bit defender scan log and hijackthis log.

    By the way, does it matter when bitdefender is running when look2me destroyer is running? Because a couple times bitdefender blocked some virus, this doesn't prevent look2me from scanning does it?

    These lines you said to get rid of in hijackthis:
