    Your logs look clean.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
    2. Click START then RUN
    * Now type "%userprofile%\Desktop\cf" /u in the runbox and click OK.
    * Note: The space between the cf and the /U, it must be there.
    3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    4. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    5. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    * Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Dear TimW,

    I wish to inform you that I have followed most of the remaining items e.g. updated to Win Service Pack 3, used Mozilla except for removal of previously restored saved points. The new rerun on my AVG antivirus showed repeated Adwares, Vundo, Isearch, Trojan, Logger, Titanshield antishield e.t.c. items. This is a sample of the results.

    AVG can remove them but they reappear. Do I have a problem? Thanks.

    It is an activeX component that is being reported and I can find nothing in your logs that would relate to the ID's. AVG8 has been having issues that make it report false positives. Do you find anything if you run any of the other scans?

    Dear TimW,

    What other scans would you recommend? Spybot? Why do these ActiveX components keep repeating? Are these normal internet browser load-ups that that AVG 8 is picking up? Thanks much.

    I was referring to SAS and MWB....you can also do an online scan:
    Now go to Bitscan link: agree to the license and then select Scan. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS TO SHOW ALL FILES SCANNED. That will make your logs huge and we don't need to see clean files. Once Bitdefender completes the scan:

    Click-on the Detected Problems tab. Then select Click here to export the scan report

    When the window comes up to save the report, change the Save as type: box to Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) and then in the File name box enter change to bdscan then click save. This will save a file named bdscan.txt in whatever folder you are currently in when you save the file (take notice of where you are at so you can find it later). This bdcan.txt file will actually contain HTML code that we can easily view later while reviewing your log. All we have to do is rename the file to bdscan.html.

    But I think it is just AVG8 being stupid...:)

    Dear TimW,

    Nothing was detected from SAS, MWB, and Bitscan. I had a crash yesterday when the SAS and AVG were running simultaneously (lost my desktop photo and the language bar disappeared) and had to reset the computer to a previous time point. What should I do with the AVG detection problem? Should I remove it and replace with another AV freeware?

    Sorry, could not upload *.htm file.

    Thanks much.

    You should not be running two or more scans at the same time....but I guess you found that out. :)

    Yes, I would dump AVG8 and install Avast. You can find that HERE.

    Dear TimW,

    Replaced the AVG 8 with Avast as instructed and no positive reading came about. Did this solve my problem? What should I do next.

    If you haven't already...do the final instructions I gave you to clean up after our work. And I would suggest keeping both SAS and MWB's as backup scans. You should be fine now. :)
