Hi Lartones, welcome to DaniWeb :)
Please do the following:
You will need to close/quit all web browser programs and disconnect from the Internet for the following, so you should print out these instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.
1. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans. Some of these scanners have "auto clean" scan options; make sure to choose that option if it exists.

2. Run HijackThis and have it fix the following entries. Some of these may have been cleaned by the above scans; fix all that still exist:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\secure32.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = c:\secure32.html
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PayTime] C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Spooler Services] spool.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows Spooler Services] spool.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Shell] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe"
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PayTime] C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [aupd] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sywsvcs.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows installer] C:\winstall.exe
3. Download and install the following (free) detection and removal tools. Open each program and use its online update function to make sure you have the most current updates installed. Do not run scans with the programs yet, just close each one when it has finished installing its updates:
ewido Security Suite - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/
4. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up)
- Run all of the above utilities consecutively (the order doesn't matter) and choose to have them fix all of the malicious objects they find.
- 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 and delete the following files:
c:\secure32.html
C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
spool.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sywsvcs.exe
C:\winstall.exe
- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (but not the folders themselves):
Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if any data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, you need to move it to a safe location now, or it will be erased along with everything else!
1. Cookies
2. Local Settings\Temp
3. Local Settings\History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.
- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Prefetch folder.
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. Run HijackThis again and post the new log. Also post the scan report log that ewido generated.
