Note: Just incase my HJT log isn't enough to diagnose the problems I have included more information regarding the problems I have been having below. Don't be intimidated by this and feel free to just check out the log and skip this text wall.
Sicne some time last night I ahve been getting some quite bad problems with what seems to be some kind of a trojan that my norton hasn't been able to pick up. It seems to keep downloading other malware/spyware whcih norton has caught but I seem to have a bigger underlying casue considering the multitube of problems I keep getting.
The problems thau I tend to get are:
When booting up my account I get an error saying there was a problem with winlogon.exe and askign if I would like to send an error report. If I later run an adware scan afetr this error. I get a system reference memory error to due with winlogon and then get a fatal systme error resulting in a blue screen similar to a bluescreen of death.
Often when opening IE or anything using normal explorer (my computer or any other system file browsing but not desktop) the procress, Iexplorer.exe or explorer.exe, will close itself and in the case of explorer will automatically restart itself on the desktop. Firefox however continues to work correctly. Sometimes after a restart this won't happen but other times even just after a fresh boot this will happen.
When IE does manage to open whatever I have set as the homepage, google for instance, will always redirect me to http//:www.uptodateportection.com. While all other sites contine to work whatever the homepage is will redirect there. This includes if I set it to a balnk page.
Out of the things that norton did pickup and presumibly delete was soem spyware called Winfix witch I beleive might have not been completely gone due to the IE problems. I have checked the registry for signs of it according to the mannual removal instrution that symantec had on their sight, but I couln't find any of it's values or keys in the reg editor.
I also had the series of process ishost, ismini, issearch, and isnotify whcih I managed to track down to .exe files in my system 32 and which I deleted. I beilieve that adaware picked up the toher files related to those aswell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
