      Now download The Avenger By Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

      • Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
      • Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
      • Check the Input script manually box.
      • Click on the Magnifying Glass Icon which will open a new window titled View/edit script
      • Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:
      Quote
      Files to delete:
      C:\WINDOWS\temp\kimochiz.exe
      C:\WINDOWS\System32\hwclock.exe
      C:\WINDOWS\spdauth.exe

      Note: the above quote was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system

      • Now click the 'Done' button.
      • Click on the Green Light and OK the prompt.
      • You will be prompted to restart, click OK at the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
      • A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt
      The Avenger will automatically do the following:

      • It will Restart your computer. (In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
      • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
      • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger's actions.
        • This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
      • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
        • Please attach the C:\avenger.txt in your next post.
        ----------


        Run the BitDefender Online Scanner
        Click I Agree to the license and then select Click here to scan
        DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS TO SHOW ALL FILES SCANNED.
        That will make your logs huge and we don't need to see clean files.

        Once Bitdefender completes the scan:
        Click-on the Detected Problems tab.
        Then select Click here to export the scan report

        When the window comes up to save the report, change the Save as type: box to:
        Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) and then in the File name box enter change to bdscan then click Save

        This will save a file named bdscan.txt. I would suggest saving it to the Desktop so you can easily find it.
        (take notice of where you save it so you can find it later)

        This bdcan.txt file will actually contain HTML code that we can easily view later while reviewing your log. All we have to do is rename the file to bdscan.html.

        If you do not follow these step, you will have an incorrect log or worse a log summary which is useless to us

        Post the bdscan.txt file as an Attachment.

        ----------

        Next post please add
        avenger log
        bitdefender log
        new hijackthis log

          Open the registry and see if you can find the entries in there and follow those instructions.

                Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.

                • Close all applications and windows.
                • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
                • When the scan is complete, two text files will open -
                  • main.txt <- this one will be maximized
                  • and extra.txt <-this one will be minimized
                • Attach the contents of main.txt in your post.
                • Please also attach extra.txt to your post.
                What DSS will do:

                • Create a new System Restore point in Windows XP and Vista.
                • Clean your Temporary Files, Downloaded Program Files, and Internet Cache Files, and also empty the Recycle Bin on all drives.
                • Check some important areas of your system and produce a report for your analyst to review. DSS automatically runs HijackThis for you, but it will also install and place a shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop if you do not already have HijackThis installed.
