Yes the computer itself looks clean. However, before you do scans of the USB drives you need to disable the AutoPlay feature for USB devices, otherwise you could re-infect the computer if these drives do carry the infection. To do this follow the directions HERE
After you have disabled the Auto Play THEN plug in the drives and scan them with MBA-M and also your AV program.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you with these logs. I am still seeing Avast Trojan warnings in C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\ntfs.sys and the quarantined ones in MBA-M Quarantine and a warning in C:\Systemvolumeinformation\_restore{1BA85EF5-6c2B-4f0d-............}\RP1\A0000171.sys.

That is your System Restore. Set a new Restore point to clear all that out.
To do this Right click My Computer, choose properties. When that opens click on the System Restore Tab. Place a check mark in Turn Off System Restore, click ok. System Restore will then turn off and the Restore Points removed. Wait a moment and then do the Reverse...remove that check mark and System Restore will turn back on with a new and clean restore point.

Ok, I have done that now. Is the system clean now do you think ? And is there a possibility that the virus spread to any USB drives that have been plugged into the machine?

Well, yes there is, you never said there were USB drives involved here. You should update MBA-M and scan those and follow the same procedure with those, HJT wouldn't be an option though.

Ok thanks, I will do. Does the pc look clean now to you from the above logs ? I am no longer getting Avast warning pop ups which is pleasant, to say the least!

majestic0110 187 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso · Answer 6 · 2009-08-17T20:43:35+00:00

Thanks a lot for all your help JHolland, I did what you said and disabled autoplay, scanned the drives. They turned out to be completely clean and now I will pass this computer back to my friend knowing that its all clean! Thank you so much for all your help, I couldn't have done it without your knowledge and expertise!
