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.

Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall anything to do with(if there).

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Double click on the following services(if there) and select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

Print System Service (PrntSSV)<Disable the service name and/or the name in brackets.

Close the services window.

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).

GameDrvr.exe
LimeWire.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).

Did it...couldn't find some of those program files, etc that you listed...but followed the instructions for the ones that were there. Are you familiar with this virus. The IM saying "Can I post this picture of us on facebook?" I'm afraid to sign on my messenger, as it sends it to everyone on my buddylist. Will you be able to tell if it's gone?

New HJT log attached.
 
Your HJT log is now clean.

Please download and run AIM Fix from HERE.

Double click Aimfix to run it and follow the prompts. Let me know the results.

Then reboot your system. Let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.

That`s good news. As far as I can tell, your system is clean.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE.

Now, turn system restore back on. This will have deleted all your old restore points and any nasties that are in them. It will also have created a new, clean restore point.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

Regards Howard :)
