Hello stillimage! My name is Maniac and I will be glad to help you solve your malware problem.

Please note:

• I recommend you to keep the instructions I will be giving you so that they are available to you at any time. You can save them in a text file or print them.
  
• Make sure you read all of the instructions and fixes thoroughly before continuing with them.
  
• Follow my instructions strictly and don’t hesitate to stop and ask me if you have any questions.
  
• Post your log files, don't attach them. Every log file should be copy/paste in your next reply.
  

Bloodhound.PDF!gen, according to Symantec:

Bloodhound.PDF!gen is a heuristic detection of potentially malicious files, which may exploit vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader in order to perform further malicious actions.

Require a more detailed analyse of the system:

• Download OTL to your desktop.
• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed to let it run uninterrupted.
• When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
• Under the Standard Registry box change it to All.
• Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check. Check the Scan All Users too.
• Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply.

Once OTL has completed its first scan it will save notepad copies of the scans in the folder that OTL was started from. Unless set to produce an Extras log it will only produce OTL.txt in subsequent scans.

A copy of an OTL fix log is saved in a text file at

• :\_OTL\MovedFiles
  • in most cases this will be C:\_OTL\MovedFiles
