[Moderator's note: post split from this thread]

Hi DMR,

I have the same problem with the Hacktool.Rootkit virus, and tried to follow the directions you had provided in this thread but was unable to find the "Lockx.exe" file. Would you please view my startup log below, and advise on how to remove this annoying virus?

Thanks so much, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hi kali2005,

Started from : C:\DOCUME~1\Will\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis-1.zip\HijackThis.EXE

The above entry in your startup log indicates that you are currently running HijackThis from within a temporary folder. Temp/temporary folders are not places where items of a permantent nature should be stored, and given that, you need to move HijackThis to a different location. Create a new folder for HJT outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move the hijackThis.exe file to that folder now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

Once you've taken care of the above, run HijackThis, but do not have HJT fix anything yet; only have it scan your system! Once the scan is complete, the "Scan" button will turn into an option to "Save log...".
Save the log in the folder you created for HijackThis; the saved file will be named "hijackthis.log". Open the log file with Windows Notepad, and cut-n-paste the entire contents of the Notepad file here.

The log contents will tell us a lot about what "nasties" have crept into your system, and once we analyse the log we can tell you what to do from there.
