toolbars, read-only folders, and mysterious exe's OH MY!

Expand Post »
...I could cry right now. I've just spent 30 minutes typing a detailed account of my problem and it's all gone because the forum god said I wasn't logged in. I'll try again, but this won't be quite as pretty.

I have aquired an odd toolbar in IE (not sure when I got that. I don't use IE except to run a couple of avtivescan antivirus things). I also have a couple of read-only folders (that no amount of deselecting read-only will change) which each contain an executable I can't delete either. The first folder is called VGABOWSBUMB and contains a 237k file called Vcthunk.exe. The second folder is called compmpeggrim and contains a 16k file called AxisFlaw.exe (google searches for these names has returned nothing for me). When I attempt to delete any of the files or folders, I get the 'Cannot delete <insert bain of my existence here> : Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.' The folders are read-only and I can't seem to un-read-only them. The executables, I would guess, are running (although I don't see them running when I hit ctrl-alt-del). When I shutdown the computer, just before the shutdown music, I hear the Error noise my computer made when it gave me the error message for trying to delete the files.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1) updated and ran Spybot S&D
2) updated and ran AdawareSE
3) updated and ran an on-demand scan with McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
4) screamed, kicked, put down the beer and walked the dog
5) ran that TrendMicro Housecall online virus scan
6) ran the Pandasoftware ActiveScan online virus scan
7) came here to plea for help

I turned on all the stuff in msconfig startup (thought I read here I should do that). I've restarted my computer and done a highjackthis log. Any help or insight you can give would make me dance a jig (sorry, no webcam).

Here's the log:

Re: toolbars, read-only folders, and mysterious exe's OH MY!

c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

The above entries seem to indicate that you had Internet Explorer runnning when you did your scan; please make sure all instances of IE are closed before having HJT perform any fixes!

Once IE is closed, have HJT fix:

- Reboot into safe mode

- Open Windows Explorer. Go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options. In the Advanced section under the View tab, check "show hidden files and folders"; uncheck "hide extentions for known filetypes" and "hide protected oprating system files". Click OK.

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders:

1. Local Settings\Temp
2. Cookies
3. History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

(If you get any messages concerning the deletion of system files such as desktop.ini or index.dat, just choose to delete those files; they'll be automatically regenerated by Windows if needed.)

-Delete:

The entire VGABOWSBUMB folder
The entire C:\Program Files\Desktop Sidebar folder
The entire compmpeggrim folder
wsz32.exe
The entire C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\proxy grey shim film folder

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Reboot normally.

- run HJT again and post a fresh log.

Um, as I posted above:
