    I seem to have a trojan(s) virus, I have ran through the tutorial and while it did clean up several issues I seem to still have a few. I am running Avast and Zone Alarm. Avast has detected several Virus and I moved most of them to the Chest but two refused to go anywhere. One of them is

    WIN32:Trojan-gen {other} Location: C:windows\system 32\rdriv.sys
    the other is:
    Win32:Trojano-1232 (TRJ)

    AdAware SE came up clean, CW Shredder was clean, Stinger was Clean, but Spybot found 15 isses, it cleaned 8 at first and on reboot cleaned 1 more file, the remaining issues couldn't be cleaned:
    Target Saver
    ISearchTech.SideFind
    N-Case

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntsubsys.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
    Then please click "Scan" and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Lsass] C:\kavmm.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Messenger] C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntsubsys.exe


    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\kavmm.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntsubsys.exe
    C:windows\system 32\rdriv.sys

    If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

    Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

    Here is the latest HJT Log, everything seems to be working pretty good. I found everthing on the list except I couldn't find:

    C:\kavmm.exe in safe mode. Should I go look again?

    Thanks,

    Shannon

    Not necessary! HJT probably removed it.

    Your log is now clean. To help keep it that way, you should follow the steps in the below thread:
