Neither AnonymousSurfer nor Tmagic are qualified to give malware cleaning advice and both have been asked to refrain form posting in this forum. The instructions are neither correct or complete.
I would like you to run the Error checking-CHKDSK. This is a function of the operating system that can automatically fix file system errors and also scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
This feature is loading and you need to run it and see if that resolves the error you are getting.
Any system problem needs to be separated from the effects-if any-of malware.
Please do the following:
Start> Settings> Control Panel> My Computer> Right click on Local Drive (C)> Properties> Tools tab> check 'Error Checking"> Check both boxes on the screen that comes up (these are the fix and scan features)> OK.
Close the message that comes up and reboot the computer. Let the Error checking run completely. It may take a while if you haven't been doing it regularly. The system will reboot itself when finished.
Please follow with this:
TFC (Temp File Cleaner)
Download
TFC to your desktop
- Open the file and close any other windows.
- It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted.

TFC only cleans temp folders. TFC will not clean URL history, prefetch, or cookies. Depending on how often someone cleans their temp folders, their system hardware, and how many accounts are present, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more. TFC will completely clear all temp files where other temp file cleaners may fail.
TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.
TFC (Temp File Cleaner) will clear out all temp folders for all user accounts (temp, IE temp, java, FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), including Administrator, All Users, LocalService, NetworkService, and any other accounts in the user folder.
Parts of this malware are in temp files.
It is also in the System Restore points- please do no use this feature. I will have you drop the old restore points and set a new clean one when we have finished.
If it does not, please rescan with HijackThis and
paste the new log in your next reply.
