I think I have some spyware on my computer that I can't get rid of. Symantech tells me everytime that the computer has W32.Randex.gen. I am not sure what to do to completely clean the system, each time symantech erases the virus it is still there when I log back in. Please help. My hijack this log is below.

The symptoms described by and the HijackThis output point to a persistent infection that keeps reinstalling itself at boot. Following ’s Malwarebytes suggestion is a good first move, but persistent detections usually mean one of three things: (a) a service/startup entry is re-creating the infected file at boot, (b) a rootkit is hiding components from scanners, or (c) a rogue “security” application is active and preventing removal. Removal requires layered, ordered steps rather than repeated single scans.

A recommended next sequence (after the Malwarebytes scan) is: stop live malware activity first (use a process-stopper tool), then run specialized rootkit cleaners, then examine and disable startup persistence with Autoruns (Sysinternals). If the infection resists, run an offline rescue scanner from bootable media so the OS isn’t running and cannot protect the malware. After offline scans, re-run on-disk scanners and review startup entries and services carefully. Keep logs from each tool (Malwarebytes, rootkit scanner, Autoruns/HijackThis) — they make diagnosis easier if help is still needed.

Before any destructive action, back up personal data only (documents, photos, mail stores). Do not back up programs or system files. Export mail (PST), browser bookmarks and favorites, and user documents. If you must copy from the infected machine, use a clean machine to download tools and write them to external media, and scan the backups before restoring. Delete all System Restore points after cleaning (or before wiping) because restore points can reintroduce malware.

If the infection cannot be removed reliably, a full wipe and OS reinstall is the safest outcome. Prepare by exporting licenses and drivers, then reinstall, patch fully, install reputable AV, and change all passwords from a clean device. Post the malware removal logs and a fresh HijackThis/Autoruns log after following these steps if further analysis is needed.
