"MiCr0s0ft.exe", "Microsoftx.exe" & "ns.exe" viruses?Please Help

Hii me again unfortunately...

Well supposedly there is a new virus going around in an email titled "I'm in Love' or something, well unfortunately I do remember opening an email relating to that title.. and strangely enough these supposed "virus'" are now in my computer.... I ran Panda Scan and it detected 8 viruses, naming the ones I will name, and supposedly fixing them..but "MiCr0s0ft.exe", "Microsoftx.exe" and "ns.exe" are all running in my System, and taking up Memory and my CPU , varying from 3000 k, to 14000k....
So, naturally my computer is running very slowly, and the net is only partly working (Microsoft INternet Explorer is getting the Error Message most of the time..)
SO i was hoping that someone might know what the programs i mentioned are doing on my computer and if they're harmful..and how i can fix them! ohh and here's my Hijack Log!

Now then. What did I tell you??

Open Task Manager & end process on the following:
ns.exe
MiCr0s0ft.exe
Microsoftx.exe

Then go to C:\WINDOWS\System32 and delete them manually.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MiCr0s0ft Update Machine] MiCr0s0ft.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NS] ns.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Update] Microsoftx.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Windows Key] rpcxsys.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MiCr0s0ft Update Machine] MiCr0s0ft.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [NS] ns.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Update] Microsoftx.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Windows Key] rpcxsys.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MiCr0s0ft Update Machine] MiCr0s0ft.exe

Do not open strange mail! Guess you know that now .

Hi again........
Unfortunately for some strange reason, altho I am system administrator, I can not close the three programs because Access is Denied.
Then, when I looked, there are no virus files in system32 at all...
Also, Hijack this loads and scans, but before I have a chance to click on anything, unless I save the long very quickly, the program shuts itself down.

I somehow have to find a way to be able to shut down the programs in Task Manager.

do you have any ideas please?
Thanks...

And i know, i tried to stay outta trouble! But its just so hard! lol...*sighs*

Download the Pocket KillBox
Unzip the file to your desktop.
Run KillBox.exe.
Select the Delete on Reboot option.
In the Full Path of File to Delete field paste this path and click the red circle with the white X in it(when it asks you to reboot, click NO.):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\ns.exe

Run KillBox again.
Select the Delete on Reboot option.
In the Full Path of File to Delete field paste this path and click the red circle with the white X in it(when it asks you to reboot, click NO.):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\MiCr0s0ft.exe

Run KillBox again.
Select the Delete on Reboot option.
In the Full Path of File to Delete field paste this path and click the red circle with the white X in it(when it asks you to reboot, click YES.):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Microsoftx.exe

Your computer should then reboot. Killbox will check to see if the files were deleted.

See if you can get a log from HJT and post it back.

Do you have Winamp?

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MiCr0s0ft Update Machine] MiCr0s0ft.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NS] ns.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Update] Microsoftx.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Windows Key] rpcxsys.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MiCr0s0ft Update Machine] MiCr0s0ft.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [NS] ns.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Update] Microsoftx.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Windows Key] rpcxsys.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MiCr0s0ft Update Machine] MiCr0s0ft.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Microsoft Update] Microsoftx.exe

Run a search of your computer and see if you can find any of the above. If you do, you know what to do

Hopefully that will be it .

Reboot after doing the above, rescan with hijackthis making certain that all instances of Internet Explorer are closed, then post that log here please.

Hiii again Crunchie! :mrgreen: And yes, I do have Winamp, its the media player I usually use the most...is there something wrong with it?
I did what you said, and had to manually delete MiCr0s0ft.exe but that was ok...the other two viruses, i actually "fixed" in the HiJack This log last night when i got frustrated, and they didnt reappear, but I searched for them anyways and I deleted the files of them too..so it all looks good so far, actually I'll leave that conclusion to you Doc...

Can you delete it from the prefetch folder, then download sysclean (free) from Trend Micro, allow it to clean up any bad files it finds. It may take a while, so have a cuppa whilst it's running .

http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

Be sure to download and install the latest pattern file. There's a link to it at the lower left-hand colum of the page. It will not run without the pattern file.

From Trend:

Note that for the Trend Micro Sysclean Package to be effective, you must download and place the latest pattern file in the same folder as the Trend Micro Sysclean Package.

Hiii again..okies well I downloaded and ran the scanner you told me to do, but it didnt totally delete the file...except it no longer ran as a System Process, so it was closeable in Task Manager...I then ran KillBox again, and deleted it from the Hijack This log, then rescanned with HJT and posted it here...
