I have gotten this nasty trojan virus names lop.ch wich installed me a pack of spyware most notably virtumonde, the only one so far i'm having big trouble with. Here is the list of what i have done so far

Avg full system scan
Avg full system scan in safe mode
Ad-aware in safe mode
Spybot search and destroy
Ad-aware 2007
manually searched for all vitumonde dll, process, registry key
Spybot search and destroy in safe mode

When i searched for all the files manually, I did't find any but when I ran spybot again, it stilled showed it was on the computer which led me to get the hijack file log in regular mode. Here it is....
