That's a very clean log, but I do see one "nasty" there.

1. Have HJT fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KavSvc] C:\WINNT\System32\pvvirz.exe


2. 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" and "Hide extentions for known file types". Locate the C:\WINNT\System32\pvvirz.exe file, delete it, and then empty your Recycle Bin.


3. Run HJT again and gives us a new log.

Here's the new log. There is no file called "pvvir.exe" in that directory. I looked for hidden, system, etc. files and no joy. I googled pvvir.exe, by the way, and the postings led me to believe that the file was part of an antivirus program...sad.

Well, I had to boot to Safe Mode to FIND the file, and I've deleted it twice there. It still shows up in the HJT log (but not when I log in to my domain). It's acting a lot like a virus at this point. Google no longer seems to find anything about it. Weird.

>edit<

I looked up KavSvc and that must've been where I found the mention of antivirus software. Something keeps putting this file back and it may be my legit AV software.

might i suggest ;
Run at least 2 of these !

My apologies- I submitted a respose to your question, but it doesn't seem to have gone through.

The basic gist of that response was this: It's the end of the day in my end of the world (California) and I need to log off and start thinking about dinner and other real life matters. However- I've sent a request to our other troubleshooters (who live in other areas of the world) asking them if they can follow up with this until I come back online tomorrow. If crunchie, dlh6213, or caperjack respond to you before I get back, please follow any instructions they give you and let us know the results.


<EDIT>:

Well that was quick- I see that caperjack is on it already....:mrgreen:

Thanks cj!

</EDIT>

You have a new strain of qoologic.

Download rkfiles.zip
http://skads.org/special/rkfiles.zip
Unzip the contents to a permanent folder.

Reboot in Safe mode.

Doubleclick rkfiles.bat
It will scan for a while, so please be patient.
Wait till the DOS window closes and reboot back to normal mode.

Post the contents of C:\log.txt in your next reply.

Thanks Chris

Dave.

Chris- could you give me an update on this new QL strain when you get a chance if possible; I haven't had time to keep up.

Thanks.
