    I am busy atm, thats why I did not want to make a virus removal thread. I am thankful for your time I will get back later but I am not sure when.

    Well I got bing off as I needed. I do not need any further help.

    P.s. it appears that it was somehow packaged with a new bittorrent update even though no check boxes were clicked on the install, I ran across other similar accounts after a few hours of reading various forums

    I did pm you the last logs of my first problem after I reinstalled my os. I do appreciate your help, but posted here as I am not going after a lengthy cleaning. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    The following is just FYI: as requested, my help is ended.

    There entries below were on the the system in the logs you ran for me in May. I left a link for information about File sharing then. As long as they are present, the system has an open door for malware.
    Installed Programs: BitTorrent has access through the firewall:
    You have this listed underAuthorized Applications in the Firewall:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List]

    Various ports open in the firewall:
    "TCP Query User{D5B5DB21-35EB-491B-BAE8-69EF0DAF89EB} C:\program files (x86)\bittorrent\bittorrent.exe" = protocol=6 | dir=in | app=c:\program files (x86)\bittorrent\bittorrent.exe |
    "UDP Query User{7EDF809B-2783-4667-80BB-EF5784A35147} C:\program files (x86)\bittorrent\bittorrent.exe" = protocol=17 | dir=in | app=c:\program files (x86)\bittorrent\bittorrent.exe |

    ========== LOP Check ==========
    Both BitTorrent and Frostwire are listed here: See note on LOP:
    [2012/04/30 22:48:47 | 000,000,000 | ---D | M] -- C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent

    [2009/11/15 00:52:41 | 000,000,000 | ---D | M] -- C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Roaming\FrostWire

    LOP Check - off by default for the standard scans and on by default for the Quick Scan. This scan scans the All Users Application Data folder and the user's Application Data folder and lists all files, and all folders present not on the LOP Whitelist (a list of about 160 folders that have been deemed safe) and all files in the Windows Tasks folder.
    -----------------------------------------
    So don't be surprised at what BitTorrent has done.
