I've tried everything listed thus far to remove hacktool.rootkit from my comp but to no avail. Tried the TrendMicro scen, the rootkitRevelaer found nothing, my HJT is attached... all seem to be clear and indicate none of the problem files: C:\WINDOWS\javapanel.exe
C:\WINDOWS\taskcntr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\xpjava.exe

I have symantec and run the liveupdates and have tried scanning in safe mode, and have already turned off system restore. Symantec says it finds nothing on the hour full scan, yet when i re-start my computer the warning message comes up with a hacktool.rootkit that has been quarentined.

I have only a wek old laptop with not much stored or new data on here, is it worth it to just restore my entire laptop? If so, what's the best way of doing so? I would ideally like to try and fix the problem, as anyone would, but am running out of options it seems.

Thank you verrrrrrrrrrrrry much!! :) :) :)
 
Boot in Safe Mode, see how here.
Switch System restore OFF, see how here.
In Windows Explorer, turn on "show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.

Next, open Windows Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
Click the Processes tab, select the process (if there) and click End Process for:
lockx.exe
RXIRERYRBZ.exe
sysclean.com
sysclean.exe

Next, click on Start/Run and type in (followed by press Enter):
regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\MyWaySA\SrchAsDe\deSrcAs.dll

Next, click Start/Control Panel/Add/Remove Programs. If there, UNinstall anything to do with:
C:\Program Files\MyWaySA\SrchAsDe\deSrcAs.dll

Next, click Start/Run and type services.msc and click OK. Look for the service:
lockx.exe
RXIRERYRBZ.exe
Doubleclick it, click Stop if it's running, and change the Startup type to Disabled.

Next, run a HJT scan and (if still there) place a tick-mark in the little square before:
