After letting someone use my computer, I've been getting notifications from Norton that random ***.tmp.exe files are trying to access the internet, and ewido is giving me notifications of malicious software. So far I've been able to get rid of (I think) spywarequake, ismon.exe and 2 others that were like it but I'm still having problems. I used 3 tools from another thread, and they didn't seem to help. I'll post the ewido and HJT logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Download the Pocket Killbox programme from HERE. Extract it but don`t run it yet.
Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html
Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html
In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html
Do a full system scan with your antivirus programme and delete whatever it finds.
Run the killbox.exe file. When it loads type the full path to the file you would like to delete in the field and check the delete file on reboot button. press the Delete File button (looks like a red circle with a white X). It will prompt you to reboot, select no until you have finished inputting the files you want to delete, only then allow it to reboot and hopefully your files will now be deleted.
This is the file path you need to enter into killbox.
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winrgq32.dll
Once your system has rebooted, turn system retore back on.
Post a fresh HJT log and let me know how your system is running.
Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

Howard, thank you for your help. The antivirus didn't pick up anything, but I deleted the .dll file you mentioned and so far all seems well, I hope. Here's the fresh HJT file. Thanks again!

Just have HJT fix these inactive entries.
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {CBCC61FA-0221-4ccc-B409-CEE865CACA3A} - (no file)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: winrgq32 - winrgq32.dll (file missing)
Other than that, your HJT log is clean.
If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.
