Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Please find attached the ntsysten.rnr file you require. I have attached it as a zip file, so you`ll need to unzip it in order to use it.
Once you`ve finished with the Regrun Reanimator programme, follow the instructions below.
Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.
If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.
Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.
Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.
Also, let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.
Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

You may want to take a look here:
http://greatis.com/security/Removal_ntsystem_exe_ntoskrnl_dll_gviz.htm
NTOSKRNL.DLL is a user mode rootkit. It hides its presence in the registry and in the loaded modules listing.
You could not delete it using standard Windows deletion methods. You don't want to get the file!

The regrun Reanimator programme is the only programme I know of that will get rid of the ntsystem.exe(Gwiz) infection. I have done this several times on different systems with great success.
The ntsystem.rnr is needed in order to run the fix and is no threat. It used to come with older versions of Regrun, but it seems it doesn`t come with the newer versions, making the fix impossible.

Please excuse my error on this file. I quoted information for the NTOSKRNL.DLL and this is NOT the file in question. My bad!
I traced back to try and find the error of my ways: on the RegRun site I referenced, the subject heading is: "Virus Removal Story: ntsystem.exe, ntoskrnl.dll, gviz". I mistakenly scrolled down to the information for the second file.
Howard, you must also be very careful in your spelling: "ntsysten.rnr file you require" is not correct.(Note the 'n' instead of 'm') This is a copy and paste.

I referred to this "ntsysten"- we have to be so careful when referring to errors- one spelling can be a legitimate Windows file, the other, serious malware. An example of the latter would be the legitimate 'svchost' and the malware 'schost' and 'scvhost'.
I do not point this out to pick, only to advise.

Oops, spot the type`o`.
I do understand your point, but I have been doing this sort of thing for a long time. As far as I`m aware, I`ve never crashed anyones system thus far and have cleaned thousands of viruses etc.

Ok, no problem.
As soon as you`re able, post the requested logfiles and I`ll see what other nasties(if any) are lurking.
