Avast! keeps stopping this, but nothing seems to make it go away. I have run AdAware, NoAdware, Microsoft Antispyware and CCleaner, all in Safe mode to no avail.
The exact message on the Avast! alarm screen is: Win32.Trojano-3233
http://85.255.115.186 users/fill/web/images/idemlog.exe
I also have msblank as the attached HijackThis log will show.
Any ideas?? The attack occurs about every three minutes for three attempts each time.

Hi HadYourPhil,

I've edited your above post to include the HijackThis log in the body of the post. In the future, please paste your logs directly into your posts as opposed to attaching them; it makes it easier to follow the troubleshoot that way.

As for the infection, please do the following:

- Download F-Secure's BlackLight into its own separate folder.
- Open Blacklight and have it run a scan.
- Once the scan is complete, click the "Next" button a couple of times (until it isn't an option anymore), and then click "Close"
- The scan will have created a logfile, which will be in the same folder that you saved the BlackLight program; post the contents of that log here.

I don't know about your "blacklight" program. As soon as I downloaded it, I was beset with some program called "raze spyware" which took over my desktop with a red screen containing a black box. Inside the black box blinks the words "Danger Spyware" along with a supposed list of things
it has found and an offer to sell me the downloadable cure for
$49.95. So now I REALLY have problems!
Here's the log you requested...

I don't know about your "blacklight" program. As soon as I downloaded it, I was beset with some program called "raze spyware"

That was definitely not from the BlackLight download; F-Secure is a very reputable company, and I've used that download link myself with no issues whatsoever.

Run another scan with Blacklight, but this time, in the list of found items, have it rename (use the Rename button) all of the files except
wbemtest.exe. Reboot when BlackLight prompts you to do so.

Once the system has rebooted, there will be a new log in the BL folder. Post that log, along with a new HijackThis scan log.
