Ok slightly baffled? Just finished loading a new machine with XP Pro and SP2. Installed Microsoft Antispyware and AVG Free. I then proceeded to dialup (yes dialup......lol) to update the AVG to the latest when lo behold this frigging monster reared it's head....

I have pasted the Hijack This log here but fail to see where the infection resides....please help.

Hi rhipkin and Welcome!

Please Update AVG just prior to starting these Steps

Download Ewido Security Suite, install then from within the program check for updates BUT dont scan yet
Ewido Security Suite:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu". When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK.
We will fix this in a moment.

From the main Ewido screen, Click on Update in the left menu, then click the Start Update button.

After the Update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"), Now close the program.

If you have problems updating see here
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/

Reboot into SAFE MODE(Tap F8 when restarting)
Here is a link on how to boot into Safe Mode:

After restarting in Safe Mode,Configure Windows to Show All Hidden Files and Folders,this must be done after restarting in Safe Mode!!

Here is a link to help with that

Cretemonster, thank you for responding to my post. I have done what you suggested..... I was actually about half way through what you were suggesting. I have cleaned up the lot and am satisfied that I'm all clean. Thank you once again to ALL of you who take the time to help us folks out...

Respect!
