      Scrap that think I am in the crapper its gone up to 68 threats so far the latest being an adware tracking cookie.

      Tracking cookies are low risk. Most anti virus' should remove them.

      Reboot your system mate and start up in Safe mode, do a system restore back a week or so, start up again in Safe mode  and run the SUPERAntiSpyware again. That should sort it.

      If you get to the point where it doesn't let you boot up the PC at all, you know the Virus has won, I had that and I ended up reinstalling my OS.

      Not true, mate, I had that same issue a couple of months back. It was also redirecting Firefox so I couldn't search for a solution. I switched to IE instead, Googled the exact virus name and found out what it was. Managed to download a program called TDSSKiller that's a stinger for that specific virus. Job done.

      Rename it? Sorry mate, never seen that before, it's usually my fall-back program that I can rely on if things get screwy.
      Make sure that the file you downloaded it called 'ComboFix.exe'. If not, right click and rename it to that then double click to run it.
      Can't stand AVG by the way, never got on with it.

      Andy, forget Combofox for a minute (thought it won't hurt to run it later). Here are specific instructions for removing that Trojan. It looks like a lot but just follow it step by step (print them if you have a printer).

        End Processes
              

              Press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Escape" to open the Task Manager.
              

              Click on the "Processes" tab of the Task Manager and then click on the "Show Processes From All Users" button at the bottom of the Task Manager.
              

              End the following processes. To end a process, right-click on the process and select "End Process." Note that the processes are listed under the "Image Name" heading.

              search[2].exe

              sysrtmvs.exe

              senh.exe

              wd7gi8nnew.exe

              visfx500new.exe

              OEM.exe

              numbsoftnew.exe

              Mendoza1.exe

              Mendoza.exe
              

              Close the Task Manager.
          Delete Registry Entries
              

              Click on the "Start" menu icon and type "regedit" into the "Search Programs and Files" box and press "Enter." The Registry Editor opens.
              

              Click on "Edit" and then "Find" and type "Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Emitt" into the "Find Box" and click "Find Next."
              

              Right-click on the highlighted registry entry and select "Delete."
              

              Close the Registry Editor.
          Delete Files
              

              Click on the "Start" menu icon and then click on the "Search Programs and Files" box.
              

              Search for and delete each of the following files. To delete a file, right-click on it and select "Delete."

              "search[2].exe"

              "sysrtmvs.exe"

              "aouei"

              "senh.exe"

              "wd7gi8nnew.exe"

              "visfx500new.exe"

              "OEM.exe"

              "numbsoftnew.exe"

              "Mendoza1.exe"

              "Mendoza.exe"
              

              Restart your computer.

      Hi Andy, sorry to see your problems are ongoing, I think it's safe to assume that AVG wasn't picking up false positives and going ahead with the steps Reps posted (I know its you this time!  :f_doh:  :D) and trying to get rid of that trojan dropper is number one priority. That's the one that's letting all these other threats in and even if you manage to clear all the other adware, malware and infections, if the trojan dropper remains it'll just 'let in' more through a backdoor.

      Following those steps, I'd recommend you start your computer in safe mode and run MalwareBytes and Super AntiSpyware to clear up some of the rest of the spyware that's been missed.

      Did you get to follow all those steps in the forum link I posted?

      No, it's unlikely that the virus is gone because it's actually the last step (deleting the files) that removes the trojan. I'm not sure why you can't find the files though, perhaps try using Windows Explorer instead of the start menu.

      To be honest Anday, that probably does mean that the Tojan Dropper had been removed. Unfortunately as others have said, it will have allowed other sh*t into your system. Until you find out what those are, I'm afraid I can be of no more help. Sorry mate.

      Download Microsoft Security Essentials.

      AVG is absolute bollocks.

      Is Microsoft Security Essentials worth downloading Res?

      Is it better than Norton and the like?

      Yes, best one out there at the moment - and it's free.

      Just have to download it off the Microsoft website.

      I use MSE as well and it's very unobtrusive, even on my slow pc. Less hassle than any others I've used (AVG, Avast, ESET, McAfee).
