Recurring, “healed” detections almost always mean a persistent autostart component, an infected restore point, or a hidden/rootkit process that reinfects cleaned files. The HijackThis output shows the machine is running many BHOs/startup items and third‑party helpers — a fertile place for one small component to survive an ordinary AV cleanup. The quick wins suggested by and (trimming startup items, clearing temp files, disabling System Restore) are valid first steps, while ’s request for an Ewido/log-driven diagnosis is the right direction for a deeper look.

Recommended remediation workflow:

  1. Disconnect the PC from the network and unplug removable drives to stop any immediate reintroduction of malware.
  2. Backup personal documents and media only (avoid backing up programs or installers). Scan those backups later from a clean system before reuse.
  3. Boot into Safe Mode (F8) and run updated on‑demand scanners (current anti‑malware, a reputable anti‑spyware on‑demand tool, and a rootkit scanner). If Safe Mode is blocked, perform an offline rescue-boot scan from a clean rescue environment.
  4. Use an autorun inspector (more thorough than msconfig) to export and inspect all autostart locations; remove only clearly malicious/unknown entries after exporting the list. Keep a copy of any logs used for diagnosis.
  5. Disable System Restore and delete restore points before final cleaning so hidden copies cannot reappear.
  6. If a single persistent item remains, identify its exact filename/registry keys and consult malware logs; persistent rootkits or boot‑sector infections generally require offline tools or a reformat.

Notes and cautions: avoid running multiple real‑time AV engines (conflicts); registry cleaners can do more harm than good without knowledge; recording exact recurring detection names greatly speeds diagnosis. On an XP SP2 system that still shows repeated infections, the most reliable long‑term solution is a full backup of data and a clean reinstall (preferably to a supported OS), since legacy systems are far harder to secure.

go to msconfig and disable all startup programs.
press ctrl-alt-del if on xp and terminate suspicious processes. Then scan the computer using AVG. Then schedule a boot time scan.

I always reformat my C:\ if virus infection is detected because some viruses are very adamant, what ever we try.

Try the steps and keep informed if all viruses are removed.
Also consider using at least 3 firewalls or Kapersky antihacker. Never visit "badsites". refer to http://stopbadware.org/ for more details.

Also consider using Mozilla Firefox instead of IE. IE has many loop holes and most viruses exploit these loop holes.

I've used SpywareBlaster for years, and have not had a spyware infection in that time (knock on wood).

Looking at your log, I don't see anything in particular that sticks out. For one, I'd disable System Restore until you're sure this thing is gone (whatever it may be), and install and run CCleaner to get rid of garbage temporary files where this stuff may be hiding. Hopefully, an expert will come along to analyze your HJT file. One thing I do know, that is a LOADED HJT file. Almost like a tree that needs a trim of unnecessary items. Also, I'd bet you've eliminated most of these viruses, but only one or two are coming back. Write down specifically the name of those and post them back here; helps the techies identify (and fix) your problem.
