Hello and welcome to Techspot.

I have removed your .doc file due to the risk of viruses etc.

Please re-attach it as a .txt file.

Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

after option 3

After going through option 3 1 bak folder still remains (see attached report) What do I need to do now?
 
You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE.

Open your task manager, by holding down the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the delete key.

Click on the processes tab and end process for(if there).

CtNotify.exe

Close task manager.

Locate and delete the following bold files and/or folders(if there).

C:\Program Files\Creative\ShareDLL\CtNotify.exe
C:\Program Files\Creative\ShareDLL\bak

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Run the FindAWF tool option1 and attach the awf.txt as well as a fresh HJT log. See HERE.

Both your log files are now clean.

I`d like to do a quick check for any other malware that may be present on your system.

Download combofix.exe. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts. A window will open with a warning. Type "1" (and Enter) to start the fix. When the scan completes it will open a text window. Please attach that log back here together with a fresh HJT log. Caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Combofix will automatically save the log file to C:\combofix.txt

Please attach the Combofix log.

Regards Howard :)
