Okay, a moderate selection of things remaining and we shall now work on those. But please, once we start this, do not delete or fix anything until I or someone says so..

Time to get some free stuff....

First off I would like you to download CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ and put it in a new folder. You should aim to keep this one for general use. I set it from the install checkboxes to only open from the recycle bin. It's just a neater thing.
Get Adaware SE Personal from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
- install it. Update it.
Finally download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) from http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Before the next step memorise these instructions... or copy em to notepad. Or just use Opera...
Ok, you're done with the net. Shut it down. Disconnect...
Check that a Restore point has been made [one should have just been made automatically because you just installed software...]. The path to this is via Start > all programs > accessories > system tools> system restore. The reason for doing this is that some trojans write themselves into the System Restore files, and in there they are totally safe from anything.
Now rclick your recycle bin and run CCleaner. [or go to its folder and dclick ccleaner.exe] You will lose a lot of handy stuff like histories etc... but there is a job to do...

Now go into safe mode [Restart, F8 and select Safe Mode and Enter.... You'll get a dark desktop with icons etc...]
Note: Close all open windows, and DO NOT USE the computer while these scans are running. If Explorer or other programs are open during the scan that means certain files will also be in use. Some malware will insert itself and hide in areas that are "protected" by Windows when the files are being used. This can hamper a scanner's ability to clean properly and may result in reinfection.
- Do a full Adaware scan and remove all the problems it finds.
- Run SpyBot S D. Create the registry backup, then check for problems. Select and fix problems.
- Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd, select option #1 - Search [type 1 and Enter]; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present). Please paste the report in your next reply. DO NOT RUN OPTION 2 YET!!!

When you are finished reboot to normal windows mode and send that Smitfraud log in....

ok, stix..... time to run the clean option with smitfraudfix.
- Disconnect from the net
- Check that a Restore point has been made.
- Now go into safe mode.
- Start Smitfraudfix as before and press 2, Enter.

===You will be prompted: "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry?"; answer Y and Enter [which will remove the desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection].

The tool will next check if wininet.dll is infected- if it is you will be prompted to replace the file ; type Y and press "Enter".
Reboot into normal Windows and post here the text file which will appear on your screen, along with a new HT log.
You will also have to restore your desktop background...

Sorry i was slow in replying... the weeekend got in the way.

yep. it did its job. Run HT in normal mode and if they're still there fix these three...

O21 - SSODL: incestuously - {03413bf7-e34c-445b-bfc0-a2b127255871} - (no file)
-then rerun HT [in normal mode] and post the log.
I don't get viruses/trojans myself.... not had one for ages... but i promise myself that if/when i do i shall run sfc /scannow [from Start> run..] with my install CD... just to check that the cache has not been broken in to..

You're doing just fine... the log is clean, or will be [ there are 3 entries where problem files have been removed but the registry keys are still pointing to where they were, and you can fix them simply by opening HiJackThis again, running a System Scan only, and then putting checks against these 3 objects:-
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {656EAE42-5CD3-0BC7-A191-0125702A7875} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hlrugwj.dll (file missing)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {c3703265-4671-4858-92a4-cba6a7b3bb45} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ixt0.dll (file missing)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winjjq32 - winjjq32.dll (file missing

... and finally Press the Fix Checked button.

A note about Symantec: open the update log [it's plain text] and see how the update service performs.... when I used them once i found that sometimes my puter could try occasionally up to 50 - 80 times per day to connect, and sometimes fail at it.. My AVG update goes thru on schedule every day.
Spybot and Adaware are good cleaners. Run them as a first step as you did here if you suspect problems in the future [but update them first.] I do not know your surfing habits but once weekly/fortnightly should suffice, daily is too much!
Oh yeah, CCleaner, if you tick just the few boxes that you want [temp files, cookies, bin etc, but not registry cleaning!] is a great little regular cleanup tool.
And SFC, or System File Checker, does just that. You run sfc.exe from the Run command entry... just go Start > Run, and type sfc /scannow
