Pinki, to allow the fix to be made, temporarily disable TeaTimer:
Open Spybot, click Mode, select Advanced Mode, click Yes in new window, click on Tools in bottom left hand corner.
Click the Resident icon and uncheck Teatimer box.
=In Normal mode, start hijackthis and select Scan Only. Check these two entries and press Fix Checked.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [dzrfwrbk] C:\ProgramData\dzrfwrbk\uditkjcp.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [mZAHXfkXDR] C:\ProgramData\apmnyvkr\wbyhojgp.exe

Good. Now delete these two files:
C:\ProgramData\dzrfwrbk\uditkjcp.exe
C:\ProgramData\apmnyvkr\wbyhojgp.exe
and delete these two folders:
C:\ProgramData\dzrfwrbk\
C:\ProgramData\apmnyvkr\

Done it? Great. Now...
==Download SDFix from here: http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/R...ools/SDFix.exe
and save it to your desktop. Dclick SDFix.exe and choose Run to extract it to %systemdrive%, which commonly will be C:\

==Download this temp file cleaner from http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1 --click in the download window to run it, and when ATF Cleaner opens go Select all, and then Empty Selected.
Next click Firefox [if you have that browser..] at the top, Select All again, and Empty Selected again. Follow that procedure also if you have Opera.
Close ATF.
=You must restart your computer in Safe Mode:
=Open the extracted SDFix folder, C:\SDFix and double click RunThis.bat to start the script. Type Y to begin the cleanup.
You will be prompted to press any key to Reboot - the pc will then restart.
The tool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished; press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
Restart the pc in normal mode. Post the contents of the file Report.txt here, along with the log of a fresh hijackthis scan run in normal mode.

***** Instead of ATF you may wish to substitue this cleaner.. it is the one I use regularly.
==Get CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ - and install it in a new folder. You should keep this one for general use. I set the installation checkboxes only to open from the recycle bin. It's neater that way.
Now run CCleaner from the recycle bin rclick menu using its default settings [if you set up CCleaner as i suggested, rclicking the bin icon should give you the Open CCleaner option...].
If you have FireFox open the Applications tab and ensure at least that Cookies and Cache are checked.
Select the Cleaner icon, press Run Cleaner.
..and then SDFix.

Pinki, no, I cannot tell you why that is so, it is new to me. Possibly a new form of attack/hiding to avoid being Fixed by hijackthis...? But we have their names, and so they have no place to hide...
==Please copy the text in the box to a notepad [format/wordwrap unchecked] and save as fixkey.reg, as type "all files", to your desktop; dclick it to run... agree; if it opens in notepad instead rclick the icon [file], choose Open with, Registry editor....
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"dzrfwrbk"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"mZAHXfkXDR"=-

Good. Now browse to [or search] and delete these two files in an explorer window:
C:\ProgramData\dzrfwrbk\uditkjcp.exe
C:\ProgramData\apmnyvkr\wbyhojgp.exe
....and delete these two folders:
C:\ProgramData\dzrfwrbk\
C:\ProgramData\apmnyvkr\

They should be gone now.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [dzrfwrbk] C:\ProgramData\dzrfwrbk\uditkjcp.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [mZAHXfkXDR] C:\ProgramData\apmnyvkr\wbyhojgp.exe
