Reboot your computer in Safe Mode

Very Important:
Make sure all security programs like Avast, Spybot, Ewido, etc are DISABLED until they are needed. They will interfere with the cleaning process.

From safemode, run HijackThis and put a check by the following entries if still present, close all open windows and browsers except HijackThis and click 'Fix Checked'

SirKenin

The only thing you have to worry about in all of that is getting rid of C:\windows\system32\ntsystem.exe. Use Killbox.php for that.

There is nothing wrong with the rest of those entries and the greatest majority of those steps and programs can be ignored. It appears to be a cut and paste response without any actual thought put into the problem.

Avast will delete the trojan, but do it in safe mode and update the definitions first.

http://www.avast.com/eng/vps-content-2006.html

edifier

Avast already blew that opportunity and allowed the infection in the first place. So don't think so. I ask for cleaning with the other programs for 2 reasons. In case other infections are present that have not shown yet and to hope the poster will keep and use them on a regular basis so maybe they won't have to post here again with an infection. If you are the 'All Knowledgeable One' and would like to check in a few times a day to help out with the logs, i'll stand aside. So as you can see, there was thought to the process. And drop the attitude next time. It certainly doesn't match your posted age!.

SirKenin

Can you tell me where it specifies that Avast was used?

You told him to delete a bunch of stuff that wasn't necessary. Only one thing was a rogue entry.

If you say you put thought into it, fine, but knowing the infection I don't see what kind of thought it was to be truthful. It just looks like a bunch of cut and paste that would have ended up getting him nowhere.

I don't help out with this section much on purpose. This is my business. I do this shit for a living. Tons of them. I don't want to come on here between calls and do the same thing on here, but I stumbled upon this thread and realized that what you were telling him to do was not right.

edifier

I guess i must be blind then.Isn't Avast installed and running on that machine?. As for the other entries, it's called cleaning up the minor things that are really not a necessity at startup, cut down the resource use and help speed things up a bit. That certainly isn't a Light Log. And if you do that for a living, your clients would appreciate it too!.

edifier

Why not. It's called 'Helping Others'. Not Yourself!.
