Next post please add:
Combofix logI found similar files in those two locations, but the names don't match exactly. Here's what I found:
ConfigOCXDos32.exe-up.txt
_wrar370.exe
Thanks for the info on SYSTEM Restore. I'm guessing I need to go back and do that with another clean?
I tried attaching the host files you asked for, but it says I'm not allowed to attach that type of file. Any ideas?
I ran the two programs requested. Here's the combofix log:

I finally got around to installing the Comodo firewall that you recommended. Once that was running it found some problems with "svchost.exe" and I denied the access for that program. That seems to have fixed the problem, and I can now search freely.
Thanks again for all of your help figuring this out. Is there any more info you'd like me to post?Combofix did find "something" that I am not sure of and can find no information on.
To be on the safe side lets try this:
Run the BitDefender Online Scanner.
Agree to the license and then select Scan. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS TO SHOW ALL FILES SCANNED. That will make your logs huge and we don't need to see clean files.
Once Bitdefender completes the scan:
Click-on the Detected Problems tab.
Then select Click here to export the scan report.
When the window comes up to save the report, change the Save as type: box to:
Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) and then in the File name box enter change to bdscan then click Save.
This will save a file named bdscan.txt. I would suggest saving it to the Desktop so you can easily find it. (take notice of where you save it so you can find it later).
This bdcan.txt file will actually contain HTML code that we can easily view later while reviewing your log. All we have to do is rename the file to bdscan.html.
If you do not follow these step, you will have an incorrect log or worse a log summary which is useless to us.
Post the bdscan.txt file as an Attachment.
Thanks To Chaslang For The Bitdefender Guide!Quote ConfigOCXDos32.exe-up.txt
_wrar370.exe It may be helpful to know where exactly they are located.
QuoteI tried attaching the host files you asked for, but it says I'm not allowed to attach that type of file. Any ideas? You can try two things.
If you opened "hosts" file in Notepad, make sure, you save it as "hosts.txt" format in order to upload it here.
However, if it doesn't work, file itself may be too big.
In that case, simply email that file to me.
QuoteOnce that was running it found some problems with "svchost.exe" and I denied the access for that program. svchost.exe can be either legit Windows file, or a malware. It all depends in what location it resides. Legit Windows file will be found in Windows\System32 folder.
Simply search your computer for svchost.exe, and post back all of its locations.
QuoteThat seems to have fixed the problem, and I can now search freely. This may indicate, that Comodo blocked rather malware file, then legit one. But, as I said, post those file locations.
I'm really glad, your searches are doing OK.
P. S.
If confirmed, it may be just a classic example why built-in Windows firewall is no good. When you have a trojan, it leaves an open door on your computer, through which all your sensitive data is transmitted to the outside world. I did some test with Windows firewall myself, and in 90% cases it won't prevent the above transmission.Locations for svchost.exe:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
The two files you asked for earlier were located in the same place you told me to look (from the SuperAntispyware log). I went looking for the files again, but only found "C:\WINDOWS\ConfigOCXDos32.exe-up.txt" (the log listed "C:\WINDOWS\ConfigOCXDos32.exe").
I also found a shortcut to this file at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Power User\Recent
As well as another text file (same name) with IE logo for icon in: My Computer
The other file "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\POWER USER\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMP\RARSFX0\_WINRAR.EXE" no longer exists (I'm guessing BitDefender deleted it?)
The host files and BitDefender Scans are attached.
Many thanks again for walking me through all this.
[getting disk space - attachment deleted by admin]The only things that showed up were already quarantined or in the System Restore points.
C:\Program Files\ESET\infected\WHSLXDCA.NQF=>(Quarantine-PE) Deleted
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{1F9B0520-97DA-4948-9816-CA2C407F8E16}\RP142\A0015525.exe Deleted
Empty the ESET quarantine. (if anything is still there)
Toggle System Restore to remove infected restore points.
System Restore
1: Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and select properties.
2: Click on the system restore tab.
3: Check the box that says "Turn off system restore on all drives". Click OK.
4: Click Yes when you are prompted to restart the computer
5: To re-enable System Restore, follow steps 1-3, but in step 3, click to clear the Disable System Restore check box.
Are there any problems you are still having?I switched System Restore off, restarted, and then switched it back on. Is that all I need to do?
I looked for the file in the ESET quarantine. I didn't find the one you listed, but was able to find these:
C:\Program Files\ESET\infected\WHSLXDCA.NQI
C:\Program Files\ESET\infected\MUAUFGAA.NQI
C:\Program Files\ESET\infected\MUAUFGAA.NQF
Should I delete all of these files?
My searches are all working again. My system seems to be pretty slow now though. Could that be due to the new firewall that's running constantly?
I've also been having issues with my BitTorrent client (ABC) freezing once or twice a day. It looks like it's downloading, but the amount of the file never increases. I was going to check with the client's manufacturer and see what they thought.
Thanks again for all your time and help with this. Let me know if there's anything else I should do.

They certainly aren't doing any good to keep. I would empty the quarantine.

What firewall do you use? Firewalls are not my strong point......
QuoteI've also been having issues with my BitTorrent client (ABC) freezing once or twice a day. It looks like it's downloading, but the amount of the file never increases. I was going to check with the client's manufacturer and see what they thought.
Don't use EM. This is most likely the source of the malware problems to begin with. Just because the torrent client is clean, does not mean what you download with it is!
QuoteThanks again for all your time and help with this. Let me know if there's anything else I should do.
No problem on the help. You may want to do some system maintenance. Disk cleanup and defrag would likely speed things up.I'm using the Comodo firewall that was suggested earlier. It seems to be doing a great job of keeping me protected.
I know exactly what I downloaded with BitTorrent that was the cause of my problems. I should have known better to begin with.
I'll run the disk cleanup and defrag my C: drive now.
Thanks again for all your help. I could not have done this without you, and really feel like my system is much better protected now.QuoteI'm just running the windows XP firewall. I'm guessing that's not enough.
I'm using the Comodo firewall that was suggested earlier.
Be sure to run only one firewall. Two can cause conflicts.
Delete:
Combofix from your desktop
Go to C:\qoovox <---delete the whole file
You may want to toggle System Restore once more to ensure infected restore points are gone.
System Restore
1: Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and select properties.
2: Click on the system restore tab.
3: Check the box that says "Turn off system restore on all drives". Click OK.
4: Click Yes when you are prompted to restart the computer
5: To re-enable System Restore, follow steps 1-3, but in step 3, click to clear the Disable System Restore check box.
Glad things are working better.
Safe Surfing!
