system problems after malware removal

[clyde1]

Hello, have been trying to recover a pc (running Vista) that was attacked. By the way, I'm starting to wonder if Norton Internet Security does anything at all to protect my PCs.

I think I have the malware all removed now, thanks to the help of Malwarebytes, but now I'm having system problems.

I have a HijackTHis log file. Can I post it here to see if someone can figure out what might be wrong?

Let me give some additional background.

Was initally attached by a rogue security suite (remember seeing something on the screen that said BankerFox.A).

After attacked, by the time I realized what was happening, it was really wreaking havoc.

By doing Control-Alt-Delete quickly after startup, I was able to find the main culprit, delete the executable, and get at least get back to what seemed like good functionality, but I didn't trust it to be clean.

Using Malwarebytes, it found several items (Trojan.Hiloti and Rogue.Security Suite with quick scan, followed by Trojan.Agent.U after full scan).

After a couple of reboots it seemed like it removed everything, scans come up clean. But internet explorer isn't working. Also, then I tried to run Norton's Power Eraser to see if that would help, but it wouldn't run because it said Not a Valid Win32 Application.

So maybe some files got corrupted in the whole Attack + Removal process.

Thanks for any help.
