I hope someone can help me remove a virus from a computer. its running windows XP.
anti-virus captures winh32.exe as a trojan (among other things). It keeps showing up. the desktop background is being changed to a screen which says "Warning! Spyware threat has been detected on your PC." it goes on to say that unauthorized access was gained by another computer. I cannot bring up the task manager because the option is greyed out (spybot found the reg key which is doing this, but it reappears after being removed) I am also getting pop ups and security warnings in the taskbar. one of the pop-ups is a suspicious looking window with poorly formatted graphics, it has links to some pay-ware anti-spyware stuff.
I have run spybot and adaware, it has avg antivirus. I will post the hijack this and combofix logs below. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer to clear this computer.
