Hello and welcome to Techspot.

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.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, Combofix and AVG Antispyware logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

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.

Delete all files in AVG Antispyware quarantine.

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).

IEXPLORER.EXE<Not to be confused with iexplore.exe
32 eq bows.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).

O2 - BHO: CVirtualDNSObj Object - {86C510E9-97EF-4749-914F-0280247BE3A6} - C:\WINDOWS\VirtualDNS.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [TESTAMEN] C:\DOCUME~1\COMPAQ~1\APPLIC~1\gram htm\32 eq bows.exe

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

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

C:\DOCUME~1\COMPAQ~1\APPLIC~1\gram htm<Delete the entire folder.
C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORER.EXE

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Post a fresh HJT log.

Regards Howard :)

Ty very much it has stopped appeaing in my task manager u are a genius and will tell everyone i know that has problems to go here because u obviously know what u are doing. I hve one other question for you when i ran my avg virus scan some dll files came up saying that they need to be changed but im not sure how to change them the files are
1.kernel32.dll
2.user32.dll
3.shell32.dll
4.ntoskrnl.exe
5.hosts
dont know if im paranoid or they need to be chnaged
 
Mmm, that`s strange. Are you sure AVG didn`t say they had been changed?

Run this online scanner and let me know the results. You will need to use Internet Explorer for the scan.

I hadn`t noticed before, but your Symantec/norton programme is running along side AVG.

This is definitely not recommended, will slow your system down and can cause serious conflicts.

Go and read this thread HERE and see if it helps to get rid of Symantec/Norton crapware.

Process.exe

Close task manager.

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

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Process.exe

Reboot into normal mode.

Check to make sure the above file has gone. If it has, I think, you`re good to go.

Rehide your protected OS files.

The above was the only nasty entry in your scan log. The others are just tracking cookies and a Combofix file.

Go HERE and follow the instructions for running the Ccleaner programme.
