A friend of mine IM's me today and tells me IE, though closed, will run a pop-up every minute or so. Initially, he tried downloading something from limewire and I guess he tried to get the wrong song or something like that. His start menu and task manager wouldn't work, but I helped him and fixed those two issues. Had him end the iexplore.exe task, and it seemed to re-appear after each time his IE would put up another pop-up. Tried housecall, tried AVG, etc, but still pop-ups and no real trojan deletions. It says he has the "generic10.BCQN" trojan. I don't know what this means. Also checked for other iexplore.exe programs, but he only has one, and it's in the right location.

Here's his logfile:

Any ideas / starting points?

Any ideas / starting points?

He's got a bunch of malware showing. . . .

Have him run the steps in my linky here ---> PhilliePhan's Malware Cleaning Steps

Please post the FOUR requested logs and we'll go from there. I'll try to check back as time permits.

Cheers :)
