Possible Downloader time bomb problem

[dhinds]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so hello. I think I have the Downloader.Trojan on my computer and have run both Norton and AVG to try and seek it out, no luck. I got this message in AVG

Warning: Action failed for registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Component Categories\{56FFCC30-D398-11D0-B2AE-00A0C908FA49}:409: creating registry value....
            Access is denied.  (5)

Does any one know enough about the registry to tell me what this is. I don't like changing the registry so I can help it I had rather find it in the folder hierachie If I can and zap it. Thanks in advance if you have any ideas. D

The message means AVG was not allowed access to that portion of the registry.
This doesn't neccessarily mean you are infected...why do you suspect this ? ?

Can you list any other protection programs you have ? ?

About a week ago I got a pop up message from Norton saying that Downloader had been detected and it couldn't fix it. I took evasive action but probably didn't stop its' download. Nothing it happening with my computer "yet" but I feel like it is a time bomb waiting to explode. Perhaps it is just paranoia because I am working on an important project. Thanks

download and install avg antispyware free (if you dont already) and spybot search and destroy

update them turn system restore off and reboot into safe mode do the scans and post the avg antspyware log here

also get hijackthis and do a scan and save log and post the log here (the log can take several posts)

1) This is not a complete log...it may take a few posts to get it all due to the Forum limitations on post length...this is normal.

2) Update and run all your scans once more

3) Re- install Hijack this into it's own directory ...name it HJ1 or something you choose. It shouldn't be run from a Temp directory.

4) Update and run all your scans once more

5) Answer

Can you list any other protection programs you have ? ?

this

[unlovedwarrior]

the log will go to 23 itll take two or more post..

[GX1_Man]

I think the virus has done something to the original poster. 

[patio]

At least it wasn't the aliens this time...

[oddjob]

Maybe due to the use of an out of date version of HJT and the fact that it's in a temporary location, hmm...??
