Hi-
My computer's been hit by some nasty stuff and I'm trying to clean it off. I was looking for some expert advice on my logs and what to do next.
I use Firefox exclusively, but I started getting pop-up ads in IE a few days ago. Also, my bottom taskbar and desktop would disappear. I could restore the system but the same problems would happen again.
After discovering this site, I followed the directions on Julio's preliminary removal instructions, with the following exceptions:
I skipped step 3 (online virus scanner)
I couldn't run Ad Aware in safe mode, so I ran it in regular mode before doing my HJT scan.
Panda found no rootkits.
Attached are the HJT, Combofix and AVG logs.
I don't have any symptoms now, but I am completely freaked out that I've still got a trojan hanging around. I want to avoid reformatting if possible, as I don't have anything high security on my computer.
Thanks a million!!!
Alex
