I've picked up a nasty somewhere, and no matter how many anti virus/spyware programs i've ran i can't get rid of it.

My browser keeps getting redirected to ad sites. I've checked out my host files and they are clean. I've attatched my hijackthis log in the hopes someone can help me.

I see the blatently obvious system32\.exe (file missing) entry, but hijackthis doesn't seem to be able to fix it?! as every time i do a reboot and rescan its still there.

hope someone can help!

thanks

[B]Hello and welcome to Techspot.[/B]

Your system has been hijacked.

You shouldn`t try and fix any entries in HJT yourself. Run HJT and click the config button, followed by the backups button. Place a tick in the little box next to all entries and click the restore button and click yes. Reboot your system.

[b][color=red]Very Important:[/color] Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread [b][URL="http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic65943.html"][color=blue]HERE[/color][/URL][/b] and decide what it is you want to do.[/b]

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
[url]http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe[/url]
[url]http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe[/url]

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Then, go and read the [b][URL="http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic58138.html"]Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions.[/URL][/b] Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh [b]HJT[/b], [b][color=red]AVG Antispyware[/color] and Combofix logs as attachments[/b] into this thread, only after doing the above. Also, attach the C:\fixwareout\report.txt.

[b]Also, let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.[/b]
