Hello in response to your post i wanted to post my log i recently cleaned out a seriously infected system somehow my cousin managed to do tons of damage to before he left - dialers, BHO'S, Hijackers, Spyware, Adware u name it. i cleaned out just about everything using a combo of tools: Adaware 6.0, Spybot S&D, SpySweeper, and Giant AntiSpyware (a new one i found seems to be very thorough and effective) and CWShredder only problem is i cant seem to get rid of some parasite that creates foreign hidden exe files in my system32 folder and runs processes that when i stop they recreate as a different name -C:\WINDOWS\system32\Xyd74.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ovu2.exe thats what they are now...Please tell me how do i get rid of this pest? Your help is greatly appreciated :confused:

While you are waiting to hear from one of the security experts, update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Be sure to save it in its own permanent folder, not in a temp one or on your desktop, that way it can make backups in case you need them. Then with all other browser windows closed, scan with the updated version and post your new log here. :)

heres my updated hijack this log w/ v1.98.2
everything is good except for these polymorphic processes and .exes that keep loading in my system32 folder :confused:
