Answer» 1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad. It must be Notepad, not Wordpad. 2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C
Code: [Select]KillAll::
File:: c:\programdata\h8srtmainqt.dll c:\programdata\h8srtkrl32mainweq.dll
SecCenter:: {68A41C74-A1E9-48F8-B2E5-D8232211AB6D}
3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste 4. Then click File > Save 5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop 6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!
ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts. After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you. Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.
Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

Update Your Java (JRE)
Old versions of Java have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
First Verify your Java Version
If there are any other version(s) installed then update now.
Get the new version (if needed)
If your version is out of date install the newest version of the Sun Java Runtime Environment.
Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.
Be sure to close ALL open web browsers before starting the installation.
Remove any old versions
1. Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop. 2. Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions 3. Once complete exit JavaRA. 4. Run CCleaner.
Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To DISABLE the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.
Hi SD
I have run all things, all seems to be fine now. I have attached the combofix log. FYI I had the latest version of Java. I've deleted the old ones though.
Thanks

[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]All the logs look good. If there are no other issues, let's do some clean-up. You can uninstall HJT and ESET but you may keep SAS and MBAM. Update them and run them EVERY so often depending on your internet activity.
* Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys for the Run box. * Now type Combofix /uninstall in the runbox * Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /Uninstall * Then hit Enter
* The above procedure will: * Delete the following: * ComboFix and its associated files and folders. * Reset the clock settings. * Hide file extensions, if required. * Hide System/Hidden files, if required. * Set a new, clean Restore Point.

Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.
Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.
Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.
Remember only install ONE firewall
1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one) 2) Online Armor 3) Agnitum Outpost 4) PC Tools Firewall Plus
If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing CONNECTIONS. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.
Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
