USR is U.S. Robotics...Its my modem I useQuote
Well, umm I have a lil question...Should I just attach my next logs? because i noticed thats alot of stuff there >.<
Don't worry, it's fine to just post them normally. AVG cleaned up quite a bit, so your future virus-scan logs shouldn't be so big. Unfortunately, AVG didn't clean up that worm, which disappoints me some, but hey, it can't get everything. Worms can be a little trickier at times. Your log is a bit cleaner, but there's still some junk in there. The ones that concern me most are...

(NOTE: The following is just an observation. Whether I'm right or not, I would advise to not take any action until someone with more EXPERIENCE tells you to.)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4148A482-1466-15BE-4C84-60D4CCB5AABC} - C:\Windows\System32\iudum.dll (file missing)
I can't find any information on the CLSID or filename. It could be harmless, but I think it generally isn't a good idea when you can't find any information on something. HJT says that the file is missing, and if that's true, checking it for removal should be safe either way. IF you can find the file in C:\Windows\system32, then scan it on VirusTotal and post the results.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MyWebSearch Email Plugin] C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\mwsoemon.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MyWebSearch Email Plugin] C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\mwsoemon.exe

These two identical entries show traces of CoolWebSearch still remaining on your computer. As I have some experience with this particular INFECTION, I might not get scolded too bad for telling you what to do. Heh.

(You might want to print this out or save it to a Notepad file...)
1. Find those entries (they look the same, but there's two of them) and check them for removal.
2. Close all windows (including this one), except for HJT. Click on Fix Selected.
3. Reboot into Safe Mode.
4. Open up Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any mention of MyWebSearch or CoolWebSearch.
5. Navigate to C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch and delete it. Also look for a CoolWebSearch folder and delete it if you find one.
6. Just to be THOROUGH, run through the CWShredder procedure again. Then post another log to see if we've gotten rid of the infection.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [explorer] C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\two.exe
I'm not very familiar with Firefox, so I don't know if two.exe is a normal executable. But I suspect it may be malicious. A bit of research leads me to think that it's a PurityScan infection, but this isn't the type of filename that I'm used to seeing, so I'm not 100% positive. Head over to VirusTotal and do a scan of C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\two.exe and post the log.

O20 - Winlogon Notify: mszsrn32 - C:\Windows\System32\mszsrn32.dll
Here's our friend the worm again. I can't find any guides for proper removal for this particular infection, so my suggestion would be to fix the entry in HJT and then delete C:\Windows\System32\mszsrn32.dll in Safe Mode. However, I'll have to ask you to await the approval of oddjob or someone else.

There are a few more entries I would suggest that you fix, but the above entries are the ones that need immediate attention. Unfortunately, I'm still a trainee, so I can only extend my help so far. I'm confident when it comes to a simple infection such as CoolWebSearch, but there is some semi-unfamiliar territory here and I would really hate to advise you in the wrong direction. The best I can do right now without getting in trouble is help diagnose. But don't worry, we'll get this problem sorted out for you soon enough. Thank you for your patience.Kurt 2 other things you can do in the meantime.
DLoad Stinger.
Disconnect from the web.
Turn off system restore.
Re-boot into safe mode.
Run Stinger.
Re-run AVG anti-spyware.

It's possible these nasties are hiding in restore points and coming back each restart.

Let us know.Looks like oddjob is busy with things right now. He's told me to take a crack at this, so I'll be advising you as much as I possibly can. Sir patio makes a good point; follow his instructions. And because it's been a couple of days, please post a fresh log so we have a more current view of what we're working with here.Quote

Neither of them was on the HJT and the folders wasn't in my Program Files either.

This file is no longer there either. I checked my AVG log and this file is in the infections and was quarantined.

Patio, Where would the best place to DLoad Stinger be?
Try this ...

http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Also ... log reviewers ... like CBMatt says ... look/research these entries ...

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [explorer] C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\two.exe
>> probably not what you think it is.

O20 - Winlogon Notify: mszsrn32 - C:\Windows\System32\mszsrn32.dll (file missing)
>> a worm.

In safe mode ... fix both with HJT & delete corresponding files, if present.


MyWebSearch can be more of a nuisance than real malware (if it's still around). If OP wants to ensure it's gone ... fix MyWebSearch related entries in HJT & delete the folder ......

C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch


Afterwards ... fresh HJT log in normal mode & update on how machine is running.
