Hello rballeny and welcome to TSF,
The infection you have, a variant of vundo, recognizes HijackThis and prevents HJT from reading the registry locations where it resides as well as hiding other infections in those locations.
I'd like you to
rename HijackThis.exe to
rballenny.exe.
- Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\abde\Desktop\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe
- Right click on HijackThis.exe
- Select 'Rename'
- Type in rballenny.exe
- Press Enter.
Please run a new scan with the rballenny.exe and post the log here so we can get started.
