W32.Spybot.Worm - can't remove

After performing a full system scan with Norton Internet Security it has come up with a list of the following issues:
W32.Spybot.Worm
W32.Alcra.F
Adware.P2PNetworking...
and 4 other adware things

These are the problems I seem to be having with my PC:
1. Comes up with a Winlog.exe error message on start-up (this is apparently where the W32.Spybit.Worm is found to be infecting). I can't find Winlog.exe anywhere. It is suppose to in the System32 folder.
2. Shareaza keeps loading by itself, after closing it down.
3. Task Manager doesn't work.
4. I can't run Norton AV, it just doesn't open at all.
5. A double beeping sound come on every now and then.

I have also completed a HijackThis log file but wanted to see if it can be resloved first without posting the attachment here.

I have been searching the forums here and at other sites for a solution and can't seem to find one that works. I've downloaded spyware/spybot software from forum advice and still nothing works. I'm starting to worry about my information getting into the wrong hands so I'm hoping to resolve this issue ASAP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for the reply Reaper. Unfortunately, my saved Hijackthis file is on the home PC and I'm at work at the moment. I will post it as soon as I get a chance to.

In the mean time, what do you think is going on?
 
I think you might have a rootkit, and smitfaud as well, but I need to see the Hijackthis log before I advise you on what way to go.
 
Oh that doesn't sound healthy! Now, all I want to do is get home to get the file.

Is that something that can access my files (password file) and folders when I am connected to the internet?

No, nothing to worry about, we'll get it when you get home. :)
 
Reaper. At home now. How else can I get the HijackThis file to you? It is over the allowable attachment size to add here.
 
Download the trial version of Spy Sweeper from Here

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)

You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
(This may take several minutes)

Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives. Check Local Disc C. Under What to Sweep, check every box.

Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.

When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next

Exit Spy Sweeper.

Run Hijackthis and select "Do a system scan only", place a check by the following entries.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [outlook] C:\Program Files\outlook\outlook.exe /auto
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winlog] winlog.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [winlog] winlog.exe
O20 - AppInit_DLLs: acaptuser32.dll


Close all open windows and browsers, and hit "Fix Checked".

Delete these folders\files.

C:\Program Files\outlook
acaptuser32.dll

Restart your computer, and post a new Hijackthis log.
 
Reaper. I've performed the steps in your instructions. Only problem I came across is that HJT didn't have the result:
"04 - HKLM\..\RUN: [outlook] C:\Program Files\Outlook\outlook.exe\auto"

And I couldn't find C:\Program Files\outlookacaptuser32.dll to delete it.

Is acaptuser32.dll a bad file? This file was found in 2 locations while doing a search in regedit. I didn't do anything with it, just looked.

Sidthereal. Thanks for the advice. Other forum sites don't like it posted with copy/paste. But here is the new HJT log.

Is acaptuser32.dll a bad file?
Yes, delete the reg entries.

How are things now?

Do you play poker? If not, fix these in Hijackthis.

Apart from that it looks good.
 
Yes, delete the reg entries.
Before I delete them, can you (or someone) have a look at the following information of them? I'm not familiar with the works of the Registry....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\adobe\installer
Name: AppInit_DLLs
Type: REG_SZ
Data: acaptuser32.dll

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs
Name: C:\WINDOWS\System32\acaptuser32.dll
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x00000001 (1)

... Delete these two?

How are things now?
The PC now has use of Task Manager again and the Winlog.exe error message is no longer. However, now I can't do an online virus check through Symantec's site anymore. Says I have accept the ActiveX and Script from them (Symantec's site) which I do but still no cigar. And I still can't access my Norton AntiVirus program to do a scan. Any clues on these issues?

Thanks so much for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

BTW...
How can I tell if someone has hacked into my PC?
Would it be alot of work (easy for the hacker) hacking into an individual's PC?
If I have a port forwarded for torrent downloading. Can a hacker penetrate into my files/folders through that open port?
