when scanned with adaware it says its cannot delete
VX2
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DrPMon.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml3.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml3r.dll

same thing my antivirus says...

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

Please download Nailfix from here:
http://www.noidea.us/easyfile/file.php?download=20050515010747824
Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.cmd. Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the logfile from the scan.

Next please run HijackThis, click Scan, and check:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe

Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

[Manning]

ok it seems to have killed the trojan and while I was waiting for a response I managed to kill DRPMON.DLL with my normal antivirus in safe mode.

also id didnt see that nailfix.exe to 'fix' in the hijack log. But I ran the nailfix.exe in safemode anyway.

here are my logs

does she look clean?

[dlh6213]

I see a few more things there that need to be fixed. Scan with hijackthis and have it fix the following entries:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {397D7D63-816E-4ECF-8761-775C932C5CF1} - C:\WINDOWS\iDonate.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [wnddrv] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
O16 - DPF: {88D758A3-D33B-45FD-91E3-67749B4057FA} - http://dm.screensavers.com/dm/insta.../sinstaller.cab

Remember to close any open windows, other then hijackthis, before hitting Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted files (if found):

C:\WINDOWS\iDonate.dll
C:\windows\svchost.exe Note: make sure you do not delete the svchost in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
C:\windows\syscfg32.exe
C:\windows\system32\wininet32.exe

Reboot, close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log please.

Also, you may wish to consider disabling CTHELPER.EXE -- quote from sysinfo:
"CTHELPER is a background task that is a plug-in manager for Creative drivers. The theory is that 3rd party manufacturers can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers, add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative’s sound drivers and utilities. Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 100% of CPU time so it's best left disabled unless you need it."
