possible infection need help/advice


Recommended Posts

Hi,

this morning my PC started behaving strange.

First my browsers (Firefox and IE) kept crashing, after that i tried reinstalling Firefox, only to discover the files kept being corrupt.

They were corrupt even when i downloaded them with another machine and transfered the files via usb.

When i tried to start a AVira scan it said the aecore.dll could not be loaded because the .vdf file was "destroyed"

When i tried downloading another anti virus program -> corrupt file

A google search directed me here and told me to post my hijackthis log

im not sure if its a virus or the age of my win7 installation (i planed to do a clean slate installation sometime soon anyway)
