Short, targeted next steps that build on what and already suggested, aimed at a persistent IM/autorun infection when standard scans and the vendor tool did not fully remove it.

Start with containment and evidence collection: isolate the machine from the network so it cannot re-spread or pull down components. Save the HijackThis log you already posted and capture two more artifacts before deleting anything: an Autoruns CSV and a process snapshot. Autoruns will show every startup/run/service entry and the exact image path so you can locate the binary or DLL to submit or inspect (Autoruns download). Do not "fix" items unless you know what they are; disabling (unchecking) first is safer than immediate delete.

If a process keeps recreating itself, inspect it live with a process tool to see loaded modules, open handles and the parent process. That helps identify a dropper or persistence mechanism (Process Explorer). If Autoruns points to a file but Explorer won’t show it, consider alternate data streams or system-hidden folders and run a deeper scanner from clean media. A reputable anti-malware scanner is useful as a second opinion; run it after taking the Autoruns/process snapshots so you keep a record of changes.

If you still cannot remove the entry or find the file, collect the Autoruns output and process snapshot and post them with the HijackThis log to a specialized malware removal forum for analysis (examples include community malware-removal sections). Final recourse for persistent, stealthy infections is a full wipe and reinstall after backing up data (only copy known-good personal files), then change all passwords from an uncompromised device.

Cautions: do not run suspicious binaries on other machines, avoid random "fix" tools unless recommended by a trusted analyst, and change credentials only after the system is clean.

please help!!1 anyone??!??

First you want to start your computer in safe mode (I say that a lot :D).

Repeatedly strike the f8 key while your computer is booting up and select "Safe mode with networking"

Once Safe mode loads, try opening up internet explorer. Head to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and run their spyware/virus utility. Keep running it until it displays no results.

Also try download spybot and adaware. Update those programs and run them both until they don't find anything.

Also head to http://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/
and run that utility.

Another option is physically removing the hard drive, hooking up to another computer as a secondary drive and running a virus scan on it. That requires some expertise.

okay, i have done many scans with trendmicro spyware/virus utlity and also scanned with ad-aware, also, ive use the AIMFIX and i somehow still have the virus. any suggestions?

Please go to Jotti's or to and have this file scanned. Post the results back here.

d:\hack\ultra edition\update.scr\dll\nvidia.exe

for some reason i cannot find that file in my d drive? help please!!

Go in to your control panel and then double click on Folder Options. Go to the View Tab and hit the radio button for 'Show hidden files and folders.' See if you can find it now.
