manwithaplan

ok i have "TRYED" to follow the instructions on that link I ran dds and have the 2 reports i ran the rootkit scanner which took 4 hours only to crash when i tryed to save the report and basiclt halted my machine. so do i still zip up these 2 reports or just try and post them here?

inexperienced is a good word when it comes to infections as nearly all the ones i have come across have been removed one way or another but this one will not go, i don't see how SP3 will combat this so pls if anyone would mind explain what it would do to help. i will try and follow the instuctions for the i'm infected what do i do now part

i'm not young i'm 32

ok please tell me what info u would like and be as technical as u like just u all know, i know a fair bit about pc's have built many and used them for many year, just to give u an idea my 1st "pc" was an amstrad 1512 word pro lolol (and no i'm not 100 years old YET!) lol and again thanks for all the help ur all givin me, i have never come across some this nasty b4. oh and fast update. i used the avg remover as u said and there was nothing left. i emailed avast about y i am still on 4.8 as i payed for mine they are going to send me a disk as i don't really want to download stuff with the nasty, evil thing on here but they did say as long as i keep the definition file update to date (which it is) then its not to much to worry about.

lol i know ur helping lol sorry if that sounded like i was being rude that was not my intension (hope i spelt that right lol)

as far as i know it was all removed i did not find any folders or processes for it. mr/mrs/miss wild lol i have a friend with the same CPU but hes on 3GB and sp3 killed his machine to.

yeah it is only avast finding it malwarebytes shows as all clear, i tryed sp 3 a while back and it slowed my pc down so badly it was like using an old 486 lol and i will look into y avast has not updated its self as all the auto update stuff is on. is there any report u want me to generate that might help?

Ok here we go , i have been a malwarebytes free user for about 6 months, so far so good up till last week when I changed my AV from avg to avast. ok so here is my prob i ran scan with malwarebytes and avast and both came out clean but then as of saturday (5/6/2010) avast started popping up with a warning for Win32:malware-gen the file keeps coming up in C:\Windows\temp so i moved it to the virus chest in avast thinking that would be the last of it but so far i am now getting a warning every 10 - 40 mins of the infection in the same folder, the file name is always HKI#####.exe (# = diff numbers as they change every time) i have googled till my brain has exploded and am now ready to kick my pc till it pops lol. please help.
