When doing a regular S&D scan it found two instances of w32.delf.uc in the registry giving firewall permissions. I cleaned these.
Then I tried to update ad-aware to run that as well, and the update would not download using the ad-aware application, it kept failing. I then tried to manually download the def file from lavasoft and that download would just hang as well. I then tried to download ad-aware 2007-the main program to try a fresh install and this download would hang as well. I got suspicious as I can download other software from other sites, just not ad-aware.
I have now run all the 'preliminary removal instructions' as per Julio's thread. I downloaded adaware2007 on a different computer. Adaware would not run in safe mode - it came back with access violation. I have the codes if required. I ran adware in normal mode.
Nothing was apparently found by anything other than AVG Anti-spyware - see below.
The Panda anti-rootkit found nothing.
I couldn't make AVG anti-spyware save a log so here are the two things it found:
C:\Documents & Settings\Ric\My Documents\Personal\CJ_1284.exe Not-A-Virus.Joke.Win32.flash.
C:\Documents & Settings\Ric\My Documents\My Programs\EvID4226Patch223d-en.zip
Not-A-Virus.HackTool.EvID
One is a utility I used ages ago to tweak setting for utorrent & the other is a joke flash thing.
I have attached HJT and combofix logs.
I tried to download zonealarm (I already have it installed) to do a clean reinstall and reset its permissions but I couldn't download it from zonelabs web site- once again the download would just hang. I did get it from a different website.
The only other symptoms, other than the hanging downloads for adaware and zonealarm are 'a general sluggisness'
Any help/insight gratefully received.
