Thank you Crunchie

That is one stubborn file.

Download Unlocker from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ and run it as advertised to remove that file. Reboot when done and post up a new hijackthis log.

Hi Crunchie,
Sorry I've been gone out of town for a a few days.

Okay, I downloaded Unlocker as your above post, went to my D drive and looked up WINDOWS/system32/arwehdx.dll, right clicked, and unlocked it. I chose the option to delete, and then rebooted.

Here is the HiJackThis log after reboot:

Thank you Crunchie

Algis

Do you have another pc you can hook that HD up to? You may have to delete it like that. None of the tools that would normally remove stubborn files are working :(.

Hi Crunchie,
I don't know what you mean about "hooking up the HD to", but yes, I do have another computer here with me; my laptop. How would I do this?

Thank you for your help.

Algis

Do you have access to a desktop pc? It will be a lot easier.

Not at the moment. Would I need to have another desktop "physically" next to this one (the one we're trying to get rid of the virus)? I'll see what I can do.
What does the next step entail?

Thank you Crunchie

If you remove the hard drive and then plug (connect) it into another pc, you will be able to delete the file in question with no problem.
I would also run MBA-M on that pc and have it scan your infected drive.

Hi Crunchie, hi JHolland,
I'm trying as best as I can to borrow a friend's pc to bring home and do the procedure to remove that last virus you've been helping me with. I'm located in Colombia, South America right now and actually home on vacation. I'm headed to the US in the next week or so, but I'm trying to leave this home computer in tip top shape for my family, so I'll do my best to borrow that second pc and get on with ridding ourselves of that last slimy virus.
I can't thank you enough Crunchie and Jholland for all the help and patience you've been so generously and unselfishly giving me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I will get back in touch in the next few days with that other pc in tow.

Gratefully,
Algis

Hi Crunchie, hi jholland,
I wasn't able to get someone to lend me their pc to do this last procedure you requested, and unfortunately I'm travelling for the next 3 months. However, I will try to get my brother to see if he can get another pc to help us run the next procedure, or I'll try again when I get back in July. By then, I guess we'll have to run more scans to make sure no other nasties have gotten into the computer while I'm gone.
However, I really, really want to thank you Crunchie and Judy for helping me out so much to clean my computer and get it back working. I don't know what I would have done without your help. Thank you for your kindness and for being so patient.
You two are wonderful.

With my best wishes,
Algis

No worries and happy travelling :)
