So i'm having some trouble removing this virus, its located in C:\windows\privacy_danger and no matter what i've tried I cannot remove it.

Im running win xp pro, have tried spybot, avast, smitfraudfix.exe and so on..

i've attached my hijack this log.

if someone could help me out on figuring how to get rid of this that would be great!
 
Have you tried running a virus scan in safe mode? Before you do so, allow the computer to view/see all hidden files/folders then run the scan in 'safe mode'
 
anyone else have any suggestions on how to remove this virus?? im really stuck with this, and i've attached above my hijack this log

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
