it kept finding many copies of viruses in a directory called C:\System Volume Information\_restore

I think that Dr Web and SAS took care of all of those.

Open Hijackthis and select Do a system scan only.

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {505E4416-251E-403D-91D8-0ACD8A79BAE7} - (no file)

Important: Close all windows except for Hijackthis and then click Fix checked.

Exit Hijackthis.

The HJT log looks fin enow except for the Java needs to be updated.

How is everything now?I updated the Java and fixed that log in HJT, when I restarted I double checked to make sure it wasn't there again in HJT and it wasn't. The only problem is after all of this nothing seems fixed, things just run a bit more smoothly.Lets finish up with the malware removal steps. There will be more at the bottom of this post that you can try.

This is a good time to clear your infected system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and click Next.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Next to System Restore click Clean up...
This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Do you have an XP CD?

If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below:
  • Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press Enter (note the space between scf and /scannow)
    • Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue progress bar goes away
SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

If you want to see what was replaced, right-click My Computer and click on Manage. In the new window that appears, expand the Event Viewer (by clicking on the + symbol next to it) and then click on System.
