    After scanning with Avast, desktop icons and toolbar are gone, can't right click on desktop.
    Spybot is uninstalled
    I could not remove AV program F-secure

    Avast found win32:patched-CK [trj] in files
    C:\windows\explorer.exe
    C:\windows\system32\lsass.exe
    C:\windows\system32\services.exe
    C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe
    C:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

    Avast could not delete, move, or repair these read only files
    I removed any suspicious looking programs from add or remove window
    I've ran ccleaner
    here is my SUPERAntiSpyware log

          Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop.

          When using this tool, you must use the Administrator's account or an account with Administrative rights

          • Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
          • (this is the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix).
          • DO NOT use it just yet.
          Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode".

          Open the SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
          • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
          • It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
          • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
          • When the PC restarts, the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
          • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
          • Copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt in your next reply.

            : When the PC restarts, the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.

            nothing happened after the pc restarted, should I repeat the steps?

                I found it while safemode in the Sd folder and dragged it my desktop and rebooted. that was the only way I could see the file.

                The only thing I can do from my desktop is open the task manager. I can't go to start and I don't have a task bar or system tray.

                Here is the report.text

                Sorry, forgot about the task bar...

                It doesn't look like it finished running, the log is cut off.

                Download DrWeb CureIt & save it to your desktop.

                Scan with DrWeb-CureIt as follows:
                • Double-click on drweb-cureit.exe and then click Start.
                • An Express Scan of your PC notice will appear.
                • Under Start the Express Scan Now Click OK to start.
                  • This is a short scan that will scan the files currently running in memory.
                  • If or when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.
                • Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings
                • Choose the Scan tab and UNcheck Heuristic analysis and click OK
                • Back at the main window, select the Complete scan button.
                • Then click the Green Arrow Start Scanning button on the right and the scan will start.
                  • Click Yes to all if it asks if you want to cure/move any file(s).
                • When the scan is done.
                • In the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top left, click File and choose Save report list.
                • Save the DrWeb.csv report to your Desktop.
                • Exit Dr.Web Cureit.
                • Important! Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
                [/COLOR]
                • After reboot, Right-click the Dr.Web log on the desktop and choose Open With > Notepad
                • Copy and paste that log in the next reply
                .

                Do you have an XP CD?

                Any changes after running Dr Web?

                  Glad you got your desktop icons and taskbar back.

                  Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from and save it to your Desktop.

                  • Double click on RSIT.exe to run.
                  • Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
                  • Once it has finished, two logs will open.
                  • log.txt <will be maximized and info.txt <will be minimized
                  • Please post the contents of both logs in the next reply.

                    Looks good. Let me know if you have any questions.

                    Delete RSIT and any logs from it.

                    1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
                    Vista users right click and choose Run As Administrator
                    2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
                    3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
                    4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)
                    5. Once complete exit out of OTMoveIt2

                    ----------

                    Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
                    Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
                    • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
                    • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
                    • The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
                    • Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
                    • Click OK
                    • Click the More Options Tab.
                    • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
                    You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

                    Windows XP System Restore Guide or Windows Vista System Restore Guide
                    .
                    ----------

                    Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
                    • Click Start Now
                    • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
                    • Click Start
                    • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
                    • Update anything listed.
                    .
                    ----------

                    Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

                          This is getting interesting....

                          Try this. If it doesn't work then we will do another scan for malware. We might not have gotten it all.

                          Download Dial-a-Fix by djlizard, save it to the desktop then extract it to it's own folder.
                          • Open the folder and run Dial-a-fix.exe
                          • 2 windows will open. Close the one in the background labeled Restrictive Policies
                          • Check the box in section 1, Empty temp folders.
                          • Check the box in section 2, Fix Windows Installer.
                          • Check the box in section 4, labeled SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography. The 4 boxes under it should be pre-checked
                          • Check all boxes in Section 5, labeled Registration Center.
                          • Click Go
                          • OK any error messages if received, but write them down and post them here.
                          • Restart the computer when done.
                          How is everything now?

                            ok I've created a restore point and deleted old restore points.
                            My out of date software was realplayer, quicktime and apple quicktime.
                            Do I really have to update them. I don't want any of my media settings to change.
                            I don't actually use these programs. I only use windows media player.

                            If you don't use them then it would be good to uninstall them. Those programs take up a lot of space.

                              Ok I guess everything is back to normal now.

                              I can't thank you enough, you're the best!

                              Is it ok to erase all of the downloaded programs or should I keep some of them?

                              Should I start a new post on how to get rid of f-secure?  If so, I want to thank you again. All of your help and time are greatly appreciated!!

                               :)

                              Keep MBAM and SAS. Update them and scan now and then to be sure nothing has snuck in.

                              I will look around on the F-secure problem. What exactly happened again?

                                With F-secure, I'm having the most difficult time trying to uninstall/delete the program from my system

                                How have you tried to remove it so far?

                                Can you reinstall it and then use the uninstaller to remove it properly?

                                  I've tried removing it with add/remove programs when rebooted, F-secure was no longer on the add/remove list but the F-secure folder was still in my program files.
                                  I tried using the uninstalltool.exe and when rebooted the folder is still there

                                  Download Unlocker

                                  • Open the installation file, select the installation language and click OK.
                                  • An installation wizard will pop up, click Next.
                                  • Choose the default destination folder C:\Programs Files\Unlocker and click Next.
                                  • Click Install directly. (Don't change anything)

                                  • After the installation completes, go back to the file/folder you want to delete.
                                  • Right-click on the file/folder and select Unlocker.
                                  • There should be a window opening, select Delete.
                                  • This should permanantly delete your file.
                                  .
                                  If it comes back let me know.

                                    No it doesn't.

                                    Now run CCleaner.
                                    • From the main window click Run cleaner to clean all files found
                                    • Next select the Registry tab to the left and then click the Scan for Issues button.
                                    • When it finishes look through the list to ensure everything found should indeed be removed. Uncheck any you may be unsure of.[/B]
                                    • Click Fix selected issues...
                                    • Make sure you say Yes to the Do you want to backup changes to the registry? prompt and let it save the backup cc_2008xxxxxxx.reg file.  (xxxxxxx is based on the date and time when saved).
                                    • It may prompt you again with messages about the things being fixed.  Just click Fix All Selected Issues.
