Hello again,

You seem to have the old Ewido which is AVG Anti Spyware now. Please remove Ewido from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

===========================

Run HiJackThis;

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following;

C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.exe <===be very careful about the spelling.
Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

Still on Misc Tools
Click on Delete a File On Reboot
Click once on the file below to select it:
c:\windows\scvhost.exe
Click on the Back button to exit Process Manager

Now, back at the main screen of HijackThis, click on Scan and put a check in front of the following

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows] C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows] C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows] C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.exe

Make sure that all browsers/windows/applications, etc other than HijackThis are closed before clicking on "fix checked".

==============================

Delete the following files and folders:

C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4.0
C:\Program Files\CAA iRC
C:\SDFix
SDFix from your desktop:

===============================

Please download hoster from the link below.
Download the Hoster Here: http://www.funkytoad.com/download/hoster.zip
  • Unzip Hoster to your desktop
  • Open up the Hoster program.
  • Make sure that the "make hosts writable?" button in the upper right corner is enabled.
  • Click back up Host files
  • then click Restore original host files
  • Close program when complete.

Warning: if you use a customized hosts file to block certain sites then this will overwrite all those entries as well and you will need to re enter them

=============================

I noticed that you are using a lot of file sharing programs. I think the nature of P2P filesharing is so that even if one is using a "clean" program, many of the files downloaded from non-documented sources have the potential of being infected. So, regardless of whether one is using a "clean" program, one may still be prone to infection by malware. I would recommend that you stay away from them.

=============================

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10.
  • Scroll down to where it says " Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10
    The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications.".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-1_5_0_010-windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.
==============================

Please post back a fresh HijackThis log and let me know how the computer is running now.
