Hi,

You may wish to copy and paste these instructions on notepad for easier reference later.

  1. Boot into safe mode under your normal user name. See how HERE
  2. Next turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE

  3. After that, run HijackThis and fix the following entries, if found (do this by placing a tick in the check boxes beside these entries and clicking "Fix checked"):

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8A33755E-9637-4688-82D3-D72638314BB5} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddayx.dll

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [6013e15f] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ruquhhco.dll",b
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [kdx] C:\Program Files\Kontiki\KHost .exe -all
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: iifdcdd - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\iifdcdd.dll

    Close HJT.

  4. Navigate in Windows Explorer and delete the following files and folders in bold.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ruquhhco.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\iifdcdd.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\maksuowi.dll

  5. Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.
Thereafter, please post fresh HJT, ComboFix and AVG Antispyware logs from normal mode as attachments into this thread. Do not copy and paste the logs.

Your AVG log shows "No action taken" for all items. Please run the scan again, then set all actions to "quarantine". Next, save the log and repost here.

It seems you got your system terribly infected. I would suggest the easiest way which is a reformat of your entire system. It is also safer, especially if you use it for banking or online shopping and other related activities which require sensitive financial information.

Post a fresh ComboFix and AVG log in your next reply.

I had to reformat my computer.The system became unstable so I figured it would be easier and safer.Thanx for the help though.Can I get you to help rremove some of the unused processes.There are close to 60 running now and I dont know what can safely be turned off.Ill post HJT so you can see what I mean
 
Hi,

That is a very wise choice. The infection we were dealing with attacks random .exe files on your computer and adds spaces to the end of the filenames. Eg,

ctfmon .exe
KHost .exe
Ltmoh .exe
avgas .exe
pinger .exe

There may have been other files that we do not know of being infected, which potentially means we could miss them out in the cleaning process. These files would then reinfect you all over again should they be run.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some processes that are less often used and are likely to be unnecessary, and the corresponding HijackThis entries to fix. (You are free to leave them enabled, however, if you wish to keep them)

Processes:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DVDRAMSV.exe
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ehome\ehtray.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Yahoo!\browser\ybrowser.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Yahoo!\browser\ycommon.exe
C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\browser\ybrwicon.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\TPSMain.exe
