I (as well as Microsoft, McAfee and Symantec)  recommend that you DO NOT have more than one antivirus product installed and running on your computer at a time.

The real-time protection of two antivirus programs may conflict with each other and cause the following:

1) False Alarms: When the anti virus software tells you that your PC has a virus when it actually doesn't.
2) Conflicts: Your system may lock up due to both products attempting to access the same file at the same time.
3) Performance: More that one antivirus will cause your PC to become slow and it may even crash or blue screen.

I strongly suggest you either configure only one antivirus program to enable automatic real-time scanning, and leave the rest disabled, using them for on-demand scanners or go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and uninstall all but one antivirus program.

I made a mistake also, forgot to ask you to install the new version of hijackThis and do a scan with it.

First:

Download the Norton Removal Tool (SymNRT) to your Desktop.

Once downloaded please close ALL open browsers, also save any work because this may require a restart.

  • Go to your desktop and double click on the removal tool and then click Setup.
  • Once open Click Next
  • Accept the license agreement and click Next
  • Type in the letters/numbers that you see into the text box then click Next.
  • Then click Next and the tool will start running.
  • Once finished restart the PC and run the tool again to ensure everything has been removed.
.
----------

Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT)

Don't scan with it yet.

----------

Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

Link #1
Link #2

**Note:  It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.
 
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

Okay Now it's going even further downhill. When I try to turn off my AVG it's not responding and I'm getting a message about a problem with rundll32. When I try to run Combo fix it POPS open but won't finish running.

What do I do now?

Thanks!Close all other browser windows.
 
Go to Start > Run and copy/paste in the following:

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall

Press Enter and Combofix will begin to run.
 
When finished, it will produce a log file located at C:\ComboFix.txt
 
Post the contents of that log in your next reply.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to stall.Sorry for causing so much trouble. When I do that I get a big blue box with a flashing curser that opens up and after 5 minutes of waiting it's still just a flashing cursor there. Is there supposed to be text or something? Lets try this instead.

Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop.

When using this tool, you must use the Administrator's account or an account with Administrative rights
  • Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
  • (this is the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix).
  • DO NOT use it just yet.
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode".

Open the SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts, the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
  • Copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt in your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.
OK that worked. Here's my logs:
