You are infected with a root kit called max++. The newest version of combofix will detect and remove this root kit as well as all other parts of this infection. This has been a very frustrating root kit to remove. I spent a good part of a day pulling my hair out researching this. The downside to this root kit is that it also puts attributes on the executable of any malware removal tools ie mbam.exe and the files cannot be removed by any means that I am aware of even outside the Windows XP/Vista kernel. This needs to be pinned by an admin because this is the worst root kit I have dealt with to date. A general reply to anyone who posts with this type of issue will use useless as the pat response is useless and an utter waste of time on the infected users part.
