Hi welcome back. This is definitely a real infection. Don't know where you heard that AVG Free is "running out", unless you are running an old version and it is expired. AVG Free is certainly still available and newest version is AVG 8. The one on the left is the Free version.

That said please do the following:
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.

Reboot the computer

Run the ESET Online Scanner and attach the ScanLog with your post for assistance.

* You will need to use Internet Explorer to to complete this scan.
* You will need to temporarily Disable your current Anti-virus program.

* Be sure the option to Remove found threats is Un-checked at this time (we may have it clean what it finds at a later time), and the option to Scan unwanted applications is Checked.
* When you have completed that scan, a scanlog ought to have been created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please post that log for us as directed below.
Reboot the computer
Next Right Click on the desktop and select New, Folder. Then rename this folder HJT.
Then download HiJackThis to this new folder.
Run a Full System Scan with HiJackThis and save the log.
Post back here with the MBA-M log, the ESET Scanner log and the HJT log.

Ay up, Judy!

Thanks for getting back to me!

I did as you suggested and here for your entertainment and pleasure (HA!) are the logs...

Oh for some reason I can't seem to attach the HJT log so here it is:

Thanks a million and I hope this makes more sense to you than it does to me!

Cheers!

We actually would prefer that logs be copy/pasted rather than uploaded. Never know there could be infection in an uploaded file so it keeps up from having to put something on our own computer to read it.
Did you tell the ESET scanner to clean those two trojans off of there?

I see you are running AVG 7. It is the old version and really should be replaced. You can replace it with the new AVG 8 or go with one of the other and very good FREE anti-virus programs, Avira is what I use and many other use Avast. Both are excellent and not as full of bloat as the AVG programs.

Oops! Sorry!

I re-ran the ESET with the cleaner box checked and it found 2 lots of bredolab.AA trojan in my Temp folder. It says it couldn't clean them so it deleted them...

As for the AVG, I kept getting messages from them saying that there was no more free AVG and I should buy version 8... maybe I misinterpreted them alright and they were just getting heavy on the marketing! I'll upgrade now...

BUMP! (sorry)

Is that it? Am I cleansed now? ;D

Is the computer running correctly and to your satisfaction? I would recommend either updating your AVG to version 8 or trying the program I suggested.
