Hi Edward and Welcome!

Don't use it yet!

Here is a link on how to boot into Safe Mode:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...src=sec_doc_nam

From the WinPFind folder-> Doubleclick WinPFind.exe and Click "Start Scan"

It will scan the entire System, so please be patient!

One you see "Scan Complete"-> a log (WinPFind.txt) will be automatically generated in the WinPFind folder!

Run MSCONFIG and enable everything in the startup area. To get to MSCONFIG, click on Start -> Run -> type in MSCONFIG -> click OK!

Under the "General" Tab
Make Sure Normal Startup is Checked!!

Click Apply>>Close>>Follow the Prompts to Restart!!

Restart Normal and have the PC Scanned here:

It looks like Panda Disinfected the Keylogger but lets be sure!

Reboot into SAFE MODE(Tap F8 when restarting)
Here is a link on how to boot into Safe Mode:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...src=sec_doc_nam

After restarting in Safe Mode,Configure Windows to Show All Hidden Files and Folders Here is a link to help with that:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind...torial=62#winxp

Locate and Delete if found

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mscfghk.dll

C:\undo\backup.cab

C:\undo<- Unless you know where this folder came from!

Open HijackThis and put a check by these but DO NOT hit the Fix Checked button yet!

O16 - DPF: ConferenceRoom Java Client - http://mail.igl.net:8000/java/cr.cab

O16 - DPF: {15AD6789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6} - http://static.windupdates.com/cab/6247971C.../bridge-c10.cab

Now Make sure ALL WINDOWS and BROWSERS are CLOSED and hit the Fix Checked Button!

Restart Normal and have the PC Scanned here:
F-Secure

Save that Report!

Post back with a fresh HijackThis log and the results of F-Secure!

ok when i scan with f-secure it says no viruses found..
so i don't have a report for you.. im gonna do another scan with panda and make sure the virus is still there.. because now it seems only panda can pick it up.

**Edit**  Yep panda's active scan has still found that file to have a (virus:trj/keylog.BR) whatever that means.. but it's still i nthe same file ive been having a problem with.

Now this was flagged as a Virus by Panda

Virus:Trj/Keylog.BR Disinfected C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mscfghk.dll
Virus:Trj/Keylog.BR No disinfected C:\undo\backup.cab[MSCFGHK.DLL]

Unless you installed this Keylogger,then Id say it just needs to go!

Let me know!
