1. C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\RAR$EX00.639\HIJACKTHIS.EXE
That entry indicates that you are running HJT from within a Temp/Temporary folder. Please do the following:
Create a folder outside of any Temp/Temporary folders for HJT and move it there now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.
One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if HijackThis (and other data that you care about) is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.
2. What version of HijackThis are you using? The version info is usually listed at the top of the log, but it's missing from your log. If you are not running the current version (1.99.0), please download and run that version.
3. Once you've moved HJT into its own folder, run it again and have it fix:
O2 - BHO: BTGrabObj Class - {00000000-F09C-02B4-6EC2-AD0300000000} - C:\WINDOWS\BTGRAB.DLL
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [uunojfo] c:\windows\system\uunojfo.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [FARMMEXT] C:\WINDOWS\FARMMEXT.exe
O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/30426f5...ip/RdxIE601.cab
4. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up)
- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
- Find and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\BTGRAB.DLL <-- HJT may have delete this one already
c:\windows\system\uunojfo.exe
C:\WINDOWS\FARMMEXT.exe
- Delete the entire content of all Temp and Temporary Internet Files folders.
Note- 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. Windows will allow you to delete the versions of those files which exist in sub-folders within the main Temp/Temorary folders, but might not let you delete the versions of those files that exist in the main Temp folders themselves; this is normal and OK.
- Empty your Recycle Bin.
- Reboot normally.
5. Post a new log.

Oh, great- you've a new bunch of nasties now. :mad:
Follow these instruction to see if we can get some of the mess cleared up:
A) Do a free online virus scan at these two sites:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
B) Download and install Ad Aware, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Spyware Blaster, and SpywareGuard (download links are in my sig below).
Follow these directions for configuring Ad Aware (directions courtesy of our member "crunchie"):
1. Download and Install Ad-Aware SE, keeping the default options. However, some of the settings will need to be changed before your first scan
2.Close ALL windows except Ad-Aware SE
3. Click on the‘world’ icon at the top right of the Ad-Aware SE window and let AdAware SE update the reference list for the adware and malware.
4. Once the update is finished click on the ‘Gear’ icon (second from the left at the top of the window) to access the preferences/settings window
1) In the ‘General’ window make sure the following are selected in green:
*Automatically save log-file
*Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
*Safe Mode (always request confirmation)
Under Definitions:
*Prompt to udate outdated definitions - set the number of days
2) Click on the ‘Scanning’ button on the left and select in green :
Under Driver, Folders & Files:
*Scan Within Archives
Under Select drives & folders to scan -
*choose all hard drives
Under Memory & Registry: all green
*Scan Active Processes
*Scan Registry
*Deep Scan Registry
*Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
*Scan my Hosts file
3) Click on the ‘Advanced’ button on the left and select in green:
Under Shell Integration:
*Move deleted files to recycle bin
Under Logfile Detail Level: (all green)
*include addtional object information
*DESELECT - include negligible objects information
*include environment information
Under Alternate Data Streams:
*Don't log streams smaller than 0 bytes
*Don't log ADS with the following names: CA_INOCULATEIT
4) Click the ‘Tweak’ button and select in green:
Under the ‘Scanning Engine’:
*Unload recognized processes during scanning
*Scan registry for all users instead of current user only
Under the ‘Cleaning Engine’:
*Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot
Under the Log Files:
*Include basic Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Include additional Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
*Please do not check or make green: Include Module list in logfile
5. Click on ‘Proceed’ to save the settings.
6. Click ‘Start’
*Choose:'Perform Full System Scan'
*DESELECT "Search for negligible risk entries", as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.
7. Click ‘Next’ and Ad-Aware SE will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected and clean automatically.
8. If Ad-Aware SE finds bad entries, you will receive a list of what it found in the window
9. Save the log file when it asks and then click ‘finish’
10. REBOOT to complete the removal of what Ad-Aware SE found
* Run SpyBot.
When you first run SpyBot, it will walk you through a Wizard which will perform a few critical functions (making a registry backup, getting the latest updates, etc.).
1. Perform all of the Wizard's tasks.
2. Run the program. Once it completes, have it fix everything it finds.
3. Reboot.
C) Boot into Safe Mode (do this by hitting the F8 key as the computer is booting) and:
- Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder and any/all other Temp, Temporary, and Temporary Internet Files folders.
(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.)
- Empty your Recycle Bin.
- Reboot normally, run HiajckThis again, and post a fresh log.

Good work; your log is much cleaner now.
Have HJT fix the following entry and see if that gets rid of the "geehxtpjdbejgxeahbkzeku....iptiVbv5r_.html" reference:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.geehxtpjdbejgxeahbkzeku....iptiVbv5r_.html
Other than that, I don't see any remnants of "nasties" in your log, although you might want to wait for one of our other members to confirm that.

Remove VX2 manually
Like many other types of infections, there arenumerous variants in the general VX2 family of transponder parasites. Unfortunately, that often means that a given set of manual removal instructions may not apply to the particular variant that your computer is infected with. :(
