Hi and thanks for taking an interest in my issue. After a little bit of my own research I found out I was infected with the malware known as "Vundo". Firstly, to remove this malware, I was advised to run - VundoFix.exe which I can confirm I have done and can also confirm that about 8 files were located and apparently deleted, that of course though was only after the tool rebooted my system and deleted the files in a state where my operating system had not fully opened up, i.e. explorer.exe not being run. I then thought perhaps it was a good idea to run the Symantec tool called "FixVundo.exe" which once run gave me the following screen
The total number of the scanned files: 108166
The number of deleted files: 0
The Number of viral processes terminated: 1
The Number of viral processes suspended: 1
The Number of viral threads terminated: 0
The Number of registry entries fixed: 0
Now looking at the results above I grew a little concerned that termination of the process itself is not enough so I was hoping that one of your fine volunteers would be able to spare their time and assist me in this issue.
I would also like to confirm that I have done as you asked in the Sticky and run CWSShredder and ensured that I meet all of the criteria prior to posting a HJT log. Here it goes, thanks again.
