Help removing malware!

[johnh1024]

When I start up my computer I get a message from Avast saying I have a virus VBS: Malware [Gen]. When I try to move to the chest in Avast it comes back next time I restart my computer, the location of the file is C:\DOCUME~1\John\LOCALS~1\Temp\1.reg I followed the steps posted at https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/ but no luck. The AVG Antiroot scan found nothing. Here are my logs and thanks for the help!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

All items in your AVG Antispyware log say "No Action Taken". That`s because you haven`t told AVG Antispyware to quarantine it`s results as per the instructions. See this pictorial guide.

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.

Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall anything to do with(if there).

SecurePCCleaner
Advanced Registry Optimizer

Close control panel.

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Double click on the following services(if there) and select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

scvhost manager

Close the services window.

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).

scvhost32.exe<Not to be confused with svchost.exe
GDC.exe
aro.exe

Close task manager.

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad). Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [scvhost manager] scvhost32.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [scvhost manager] scvhost32.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SecurePCCleaner] C:\Program Files\SecurePCCleaner\GDC.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [AROReminder] C:\Program Files\Advanced Registry Optimizer\aro.exe -rem

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

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

C:\WINDOWS\system32\scvhost32.exe
C:\Program Files\Advanced Registry Optimizer<Delete the entire folder.
C:\Program Files\SecurePCCleaner<Delete the entire folder.

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs

Everything looks ok there.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE.

Now, turn system restore back on. This will have deleted all your old restore points and any nasties that are in them. It will also have created a new, clean restore point.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.
