I received a panic call from my son while I was working this evening. He has a:

Toshiba Satellite L305-S5895 laptop
AMD Turion 64X2 TL-60 / 2.0 Ghz dual core Amd M690G chipset
3 GB DDR2 SDRAM 667.0 Mhz PC2 - 5300 (1x1GB + 1x2GB)
250 GB WD 5400rpm HDD
ATI Radeon X1250 GPU

On startup a dialog box opened stating that Windows Live A/V had found a worm
(he is running Avira A/V and Malwarebytes and we left Windows Defender on plus the standard Windows firewall) so I don't know where the Live A/V came from. After machine booted completely, I ran Malwarebytes and OMG the shit hit the fan.

Here is he first log:

It was at this scan that I realized that MB was out of date, so I updated and it is currently in the process of scanning.
I will repost the newest scan tomorrow. Any insight in the meantime will be greatly appreciated!!
 
Will do. probably won't be until late this evening. It's been a while since I've ran Hijack This, do I still have to parse the scan results through Trend Micros website or do I just post the scan log here when it is finished?

as requested HJT log
 
You are running an outdated version of Java. Before you do anything though, please provide me with an uninstall list from hijackthis by doing the following.

Open hijackthis, click on open misc tools section, click on open uninstall manager, click save list and then copy and paste the list back here.
 
I just got home from work and wow... turned on the laptop and after the splash screen the popups just keep coming. It started with a Google Installer has stopped working and it keps popping up with "Malware Defense has detected the virus of the harmful program on your computer. Activate your copy."
I can't do any logs for these stupid popups. How do I boot to safe mode in Vista Home Premium?

EDIT: I found safe mode here are two new HJT logs from safe mode :

I see quite a few issues.

1. You still need to uninstall the version of java that is currently installed and then download the latest version here.

http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

2. Uninstall Malware Defense

3. You have antivir and norton 360 installed. Since you had to pay for nortons, you need to uninstall antivir has having more one antivirus installed at any given time is a no no, they don't play well together. Choose one or the other.

4. Please run a fully updated, full scan with malwarebytes and post the log file, afterwards please run a fresh hijackthis scan and post the log.

Also let me know how the computer is running after that is all done.
 
I removed the java update and downloaded the new one (update 17).
Once this happened, I found that several windows updates needed to be installed. Installed those, rebooted, and had to download the Norton Uninstaller to get rid of Norton (this was a free trial included with the computer that was never activated and I removed upon initial setup. Funnily enough it showed up in the HJT uninstall list but not in the Windows uninstaller) Now I am unable to run MB. Avira is not working. I tried to download Superantispyware and crashed the system (1st BSOD on this machine (yay)) the only thing I can run is HJT. here is the latest log and uninstall list:

yeah... I loaded a Logitech Wireless mouse driver and yes MalwareBytes removed the infections. Thanks for taking your time to help me with this, I really appreciate everything!!!
System seems to be working normally except Avira isn't wanting to update and it won't finish a scan. Might have to go back to Avast but I will try reinstalling Avira.
Would Superantispyware be a good addition? I see a lot of people on CF use/endorse it.
Thanks again!!!
 
I sometimes recommend running Superantispyware along side of Malwarebytes as sometimes MB won't catch something that SA does. I would just uninstall avira and then reinstall it again, that should fix the issue.

Also you can have hijackthis fix these entries so they don't run on bootup.

What he said

+1 !!!

Well I was hoping to have something I could say. But as always Johnb35 is amazing at this stuff, you don't miss a beat man. I was going to say the exact thing you did in the last post about S.A.S., MB and the boot processes!

I'm one of the people who use Super Antispyware, and I like it (and the people who make it are in Oregon, my home state, yea!). It worked really well recently to kill some problems on the in-laws computer (and their computer was in BAD shape!).

I wanted to mention a few other thoughts I had though:
Do you have CCleaner? Its a great cleaning tool for removing the traces of computer usage, especially internet leftovers (like cache, cookies, .dat files, history, clip-board leftovers, etc...). I would recommend CCleaner especially after removing viruses. I'd run the Registry tool in CCleaner first to check for leftover registry "things..." that could spell trouble for you now or later.

And if you haven't done it already, you might want to consider a backup of your hard drive; especially if you have info that isn't easily replaced. I bought Acronis and a W.D. hard drive this year to backup my computer.

I backup several times a year and then I unplug the backup from my computer and my power strip. I keep it safely in its box, away from dust, viruses, power surges, insects, in-laws, and most of all troublesome college room-mates. Its there for the chance that I have to restore my machine or if my laptop hard drive were to die. Frankly, I'd be a nervous wreck all semester without my backup.
