Well - I got infected and am trying to get my laptop better.
Symptoms: I kept getting odd popups of Kavo trying to install so I ran a Symantec Antivirus full scan. That identified a number of infections (including Hacktool) and my system locked up while Symantec said it was trying to clean them. Then Symantec stopped working so I tried to uninstall it so I could download a trial version of another AV program. That failed, so I did a manual uninstall of Symantec. Now whenever I right click on a folder or file it brings up windows installer trying to install a componenent of Symantec Antivirus.
I then found this site and followed the instructions posted in the malware removal thread.
1. Panda AntiRootkit was clean.
2. I attached Hijack this log, combofix log and AVG AntiSpyware log.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...
