Hi, im really really hoping that someone can help me!!!!

I hav followed all of the steps in thread 6255 and nothin has worked and i really dont no what to do!!

the computer i hav is a laptop. my service provider is AOL.

I got the stupid virus from goin onto a web based msn client called piglet im. This also gave me over 350 spyware problems and 6 other trojans, all of which i hav successfully managed to remove with my anti virus programmes.

I hav AVG 6.0 free edition and spysweeper and spybot and windows washer (sweeper and washer by webroot - trial edition altho full edition)

i also downloaded and used hijackthis...which found nothing on my system in regards to sites mentioned in thread 6255..but it did mention the 'about:blank' which i deleted..although when i logged back on it was stil there.

I know how to put things in safe mode, although my AVG won't work as it says that the driver core was not there or somethin along the lines of that.

I honestly don't know what to do!

I am computer literate and anything i am unaware of i can pick up easily if things are explained properly to me.

Here is the log for my hijack this:

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {CBEFB350-ED5B-4115-B846-C1041676B388} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\CustIE32.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [fhlllxfje] C:\WINDOWS\System32\qhapgzkb.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zsx] C:\WINDOWS\zsx.exe

Reboot into safe mode and delete these files;

C:\WINDOWS\System32\qhapgzkb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\zsx.exe

Reboot normally.

Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will fix everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including Internet Explorer, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

Thanks.

Other than hijackthis being in a temporary folder, I see nothing wrong.

ok...the only problem that appears to be on my laptop now is that the desktop flashes grey and white where the advert used to be. Its doing this because i right clicked it and then clicked view source, then searched for it on my comp and deleted it. altho it removed it its left it grey and white flashing on my desktop. Iv tried changing it but it doesnt make any difference.
