Hello,

My computer was infected with some sort of virus/spyware yesterday. The original exe file that kept on popping up was "sew4xwe9.exe" which I've tried to remove in both Registry and executable file. The virus disabled both my "hidden files through folder option" and "editing the registry". I was able to get around that. After running Symantec Antivirus, it's removed a few of the other viruses that were detected, some of the files are named: Packed.Generic.218, Filename: JASGGG~1.EXE, sew4xwe9.exe.

Other problems now are, when booting up:

(1)
RUNDLL
Error loading C:\WINDOWS\oqiwevanuzafavi.dll
The specified module could not be found.

*Can't locate the file anywhere, not having any luck.

(2)
There's a weird numbers executable file (ie: 1604543772.exe) that shows up, and when it's running in my Processes in Windows Task Manager, a corresponding invisible iexplorer.exe is running as well. I currently use Google Chrome. I delete both the weird number exe and iexplorer.exe, but both pop up again later on... like 15-30 mins later.

(3)
When attempting to open some files, I get a weird Windows Installer window that pops up that attempts to do a scan. Which might be a result of #4 (below)

(4)
Yesterday, thinking I had it figured out. I deleted my msiexec.exe file and a few of the msiexec.exe files associated with some of my programs through the Registry.

Below is my Hi-Jack Scan:

Thank you for taking the time to try to help me out.

Very much appreciated.

You need to STOP manual registry editing for now. We don't know what all is there and doing this can actually disrupt what we may need to do. There are certain infections which need to be removed in a very specific way and removing random entries can cause problems later.
You are running an outdated version of HiJackThis. Uninstall it and download the newest version 2.0.2

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.

REBOOT the computer.
Next run a NEW HJT scan and save the log. Post back here with the MBA-M log and the new HJT log.
