      Download ComboFix© by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

      Link #1
      Link #2

      **Note:  It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

      Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

      Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.
       
      Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

      For Windows XP Systems install the Recovery Console:

      - If you are using Windows XP and do not already have the Recovery Console installed, please ensure your Internet connection is active (if possible) and click Yes.
      - If for some reason your Internet is not working click No.
      - If you are not using Windows XP, you will not be prompted.
      - When prompted to accept the EULA click OK.
      - Accept Microsoft's EULA (Click Yes).
      - When you are told that the RC is installed correctly click YES to continue scanning for malware.

      When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
      Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

      Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

      Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

        The logs are enclosed, but I'm not sure that the AVG was closed (I kept on getting an error message while uninstalling). I think i have the RC (although it says I don't in the combofix log, but I hadn't have this option anyway while running combofix.

        once again, thanks!

        You have two antivirus installed. Eset and AVG. You should only run one at a time so it's best to pick one and uninstall the other now.

        Run the Kaspersky Online Scanner

        In Microsoft Windows Vista, you must open the Web browser using the Run as Administrator command. From the Desktop right click the icon to open the browser and choose Run as Administrator.

        • Click on SCAN NOW
        • Click Accept.
        • The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
        • Once the files have been downloaded locate the Scan Settings and have it scan My Computer.
        • The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it finish.
        When the scan is done, in the Scan is complete window, any infection is displayed.
        There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

        To obtain the report:
        Click on: Save Report As
        • Next, in the Save as prompt, Save in area, select: Desktop.
        • In the File name area use KScan, or something similar.
        • In Save as type: click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
        • Then, click: Save


        Copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next reply.

        Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

            A search for a file under that name got the results as written in the log:
            C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\_ati3fbxx_.sys.zip

            One of the AVG notification showed an infection in a file called ati3fbxx.
            By the way, I just had another AVG infection notice about another file.
