Collected.5.L trojan horse

[mikepdc]

Hi,
My friend's computer has the Collected.5.L trojan horse, infecting msactivex.sys. I tried booting from safe mode, shutting off System Restore in XP, and running AVG, AdAware and Spybot. The trojan horse still comes back after restarting in regular mode. I'm very new to HijackThis, but the log is below. Can anyone recommend what to do from here?

Download and save to desktop AimFix.exe by Jay Loden

Run the fix and restart your computer afterwards

Back in Windows
Download and UNZIP to desktop Export2.zip
So you now have Export2.bat on the desktop
We'll need this later
[attachment=225:attachment]

==Download RKFiles.zip from the link
http://skads.org/special/rkfiles.zip
UNZIP the contents to it's own folder

==Download this virus checker from eScan
Mwav.exe
There's nothing to install, Save to your desktop
Double click to run eScan's Mwav scan
It will self extract
Before running you may want to disable Norton's autoprotect, so it won't get in the way
Select all local drives, scan all files, press 'SCAN' and when it is completed, anything found will be displayed in the lower pane.
This may take awhile, let it finish
In the Virus Log Information Pane
Left click and Highlight all the info in the Lower pane---  Use "CTRL and the  C" keys  on your Keyboard to copy all found in the lower pane  and Paste it back here

****If prompted that a Virus was found and you need to purchase the product  to remove the malware, just close out the prompt and let it continue scanning
We just want to see where the bad guys are

After posting the log from escan's Mwav scan

Could you do the following

Ensure your in Safe mode
Open the folder you unzipped rkfiles.zip too
Double click to run Rkfiles.bat
Wait for the scan to finish, give this time
When it's done a log will be produced, save this log
By default, it is saved to C:\Log.txt

Restart back to Normal mode

Run another scan with Hijackthis and post a fresh log and also post the log from
Rkfiles.bat>>C:\Log.txt

Could you also Double click on Export2.bat on your desktop or wherever you unzipped Export2.bat too
IF a text file is placed on the desktop or in the same folder as export2.bat by the name of Export.txt
Could you copy and paste that info back here
