Unzip it and run the PAVARK.exe file.

One idea that may be worth a shot. Open up your "My Computer" and do a search for mbam.exe. Once located, right click on it and select rename. Rename it to helpme.exe then try running it.

Using pirated software is illegal.

Plus there doesn't seem to be many good reviews on QuickHeal either. I wouldn't trust it.

In my opinion, Vista is not a very good OS. I have stuck with XP and a dual boot of Windows 7 release candidate.

If your pc has been designed for XP then it wont run all that great with Vista...

I am sorry to hear about your cat. Loosing a pet is always hard. You have my sympathy!

I would like you to update Mbam and run it again and post a fresh log.
Then post a fresh HJT log afterward.

A scan with Mbam should fix the problem.

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow...

If you post an HJT log I will see if there is anything left over.

Cool. We need Mbam to do it's work before tackling what's left over with HJT.

Make sure you update Mbam and get it to remove what it finds.

The AVG log shows them. The HJT log shows them in a different way as it only shows their processes.
You should see if renaming Mbam will work as I suggested in post 4 as AVG is nowhere near as good...

Your logs show several trojan infections.

You can now uninstall HiJackThis and keep Mbam if you like, and I recommend you do keep it.
You can also mark this thread as solved too. :)

Run Mbam within that account. Also, keep Mbam on your system and run it regularly.

Please post a fresh HJT log. No other log is needed now.

I see no evidence of a virus scanner in your HJT log.

Make sure you get 1 antivirus, 1 firewall, and as many antimalware programs as you like in place as soon as you possibly can.
