since yesterday i have been having this very annoying spyware/virus time to time. its called "sexpass" which is svchost.exe in C:\windows and "nwib" and makes my home page as "pureseeker.com". i have tried all the best i can do, deleted the files off the C:\windows ran 3 spyware removal programes (spysweeper, xsofty, spybot).
Xsofty detects the files as a Trojan and when removed there is a window messege pop up saying "windows (the computer) need to be shutdown" so when re-started after a while connected to the net there it comes back again! i also tried clearing temp files and ran Trend Micro 2005 full scan (even system restore off) didnt detect anything. i really dont know what to do next to get rid off this and i dont wanna re-install OS (xp pro), below HJT log...pplease let me know what to get rid off
