At this point I would suggest sending the machine in to a good repair place instead of risking f**king up your system's registry (which is a good way to turn your machine into a paperweight!)

Try booting your machine in Safe Mode and running your anti-virus. You may be able to zap those trojans when they have less access than on a normal boot...

Its hard to help when I don't know exactly whats coming up on your machine and other little details that can't be found out just from postings. Good luck

yeah sorry i didn't respond back. With the number of malicious activity that you listed, the probability that you can fix this without re-formatting is very small. most definately the stupid viruses infected the key startup areas in your Run and WinLogon subkey entries. you can make the attempt to find some software to clean them out, clean them yourself, or save yourself the trouble and reformat.

sorry to break the bad news. . but yeah it's cool to post your log here.

My security setup:
AVG-Free
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-ant...e/lng/us/tpl/v5
I use this for anti-virus. I run it twice a week overnight. I never run live scans of anything that goes into my computer, fucking slow as shit. I usually just use my brain for that.

Spybot S&D
Nothing else compares to this. McCaffee and Norton (not the best examples, but its better to talk about them since they are held in the highest regard among the general Best Buy Computer Whizzzzzzzzzz) have made statements saying they are no match for Spybot, which is programmed "from the heart", "dedicated to my love" or something like that. (i run it maybe once a week)

Firefox+AdblockPlus as has already been mentioned.


Common sense, don't open everything like a myspace douche would. Use ONLY trusted anti-malware software (people will masquerade their programs as anti-virus, but it's actually a virus, lolz) and ONLY from official websites(people will set up entire sites that look like legit hosts for Norton, but the EXE will be a virus, lolz)


my last line of defense before reformatting would be to just run all the anti-virus/spyware you have at startup or in safe mode(if you have not already done so), so that no external DLL files/startup programs that have nothing to do with vanilla windows interfere.

Looks like I finally managed to get rid of those bastards. I used quite a few programs one after the other. I ran them in Normal Mode and in Safe Mode. Anything to rid my computer of that stuff. So here's a list of all those programs, if you guys want to try.

VundoFix -- hunts and removes Vundo.
Ad-Aware
AFT Cleaner -- cleans up all the junk folders. Nice little tool
Combofix -- Works in DOS window. No frills program.
SuperAntiSpyware -- This was recommended on some security website.
Trend Micro House Call --- Online scan and removal
A trial version of Kaspersky

Kaspersky is by far the best shit out there. I uninstalled my University licensed Mcafee and installed a trial version. It got rid of all the trojans. Lucky for me, I didn't have any virus on my laptop. But the trial will get over in 30 days...so I gotta figure out what to do after that. Maybe I'll go back to McAfee or use AVG Free edition.

Any recommendations for a free and awesome antivirus ?
