    my computer is 2 months old but recently became infected with various spyware and adware which was easy enough to get rid of, however there is one which i cannot get rid of i have tried about 5 diferent antivirus/spyware removal programs to get rid of it but have made no progress, it is called Trojan-Downloader.Win32.small.dxm and appears to be running through pretty much all of the dlcore.dll files, which is a bit of a pain as it is in the winlogon.exe file which is causing the computer to either freeze on just the wallpaper when i shutdown or the blue screen of death with a fatal error.
    please any help would be appreciated as i am stuck for what to do, i have i hijack this log which i can show if it is needed,
    many thanx

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    To effectively help both our malware experts and yourself remove this malware we will need you to run the below guide and attach all th erequested logs as Hijackthis is not the definitive malware scanner its quite limited in what it does and finds.

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
