Well, I'm back again and I've acquired a trojan dropper it seems. Can anyone help me get rid of it please? Adaware doesn't detect it, Spybot S&D does, but everytime I delete it, it remains. It's in my registry.

Here is it's location: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-790525478-1177238915-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{E14DCE67-8FB7-4721-8149-179BAA4D792C}

I'll be glad to give more info if someone helps, thanks.

::Report end

seems i had 2 backdoors...

Ah... does it feel better now?
"well i use nod32, so u want me to uninstall nod32 and install AVG?" Well, NOD let em in, didn't it? But no, don't change.... AVG you can revert to an on-demand scanner for when you think you need it, just do an update b4 the scan [it will revert anyway after 30 days, n that's how I keep it]. And so far, no scanner catches everything...
Empty that quarantine bin, and you could run ComboFix to check for extras hiding... but your log shows clean.
==Download this file to your desktop: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
- to run it dclick combofix.exe and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log, C:\Combofix.txt - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.
As a precaution, turn OFF, then ON your system restore on all drives to clear old restore points - one was infected.

sorry, i was confused for a sec, i thought you had linked to AVG anti virus. well, i followed all steps and the AVG not only detected but also removed the 2 backdoors. It makes me wonder about the protection of NOD32. Im surprised to find out it allowed these infections through. thanks for all help.

If one of em was perfect, it would be the only one out there. And pretty soon it would no longer be perfect.
You listening, Mr Gates?
Cheers.

well, thanks again for the help/
