Hi and welcome to Daniweb forums :).

Download HijackThis self-extracting zip version from here. Once downloaded, double click on the file & it will install into it's own, permanent folder.
Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

Okay, here it is:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\lcmyu.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

Okay, for some strange reason, I cant find the Mserver OR the mssock. I did find service and this is what I got:

File: SERVICE.EXE
Status: INFECTED/MALWARE

In the process of doing the Hijack this fixes now.

From what I can find, that file may be legitimate, but may be susceptible to hackers. If you never installed it, I suggest it's removal.

Please post another log and let me know which way you went with that file.

I have removed it.

Do you wish to post another hijackthis log? Post away if yes.

First of all I need a report on the following files please;

Please go to Jotti's and have thses files scanned. Post the results back here.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Mserver.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mssock.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SERVICE.EXE

Now lets just suppose that I didnt have the Mserver OR mssock files. Is there anyplace I can download them from??

I got those from entries in your log. If they are definitely not on your PC then you have nothing to scan :).

You can just copy and paste the following two entries into Jotti

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Mserver.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mssock.exe

They have to be on your PC for Jotti to detect it, if not you will receive a prompt such stating the file is 0 bytes, likely a piece of Malware or Firewall is blocking this.

Didnt mean to step on any toes, just trying to help :)

Oh....alright. Thats cool. But what about this darn desktop? Any other ideas?

--- Download smitRem.exe and save it to your Desktop. DoubleClick it to extract the contents to a new smitRem Folder. Just leave it for now.

Please Boot to Safe Mode.

Continuing in Safe Mode, open the smitRem Folder, and DoubleClick the RunThis.bat file to run the tool. Follow the prompts on screen - Allow the tool to complete its run and finish the Disk Cleanup.

Reboot to Normal Mode and there should be a log at C:\smitfiles.txt. Please submit that

I didn't really have a chance earlier to look at the log , just noticed Smitrem hadn't been ran

After running Smitrem, there is a Sony Rootkit and a Wareout infection we will have to deal with as well.
