Darksma Addware brought system to a hault

[sandman3514]

My daughters PC has been infected with a series of spyware and adware. I have removed it with my Anti-spyware software but it has replicated itself and become worse. The problem is so bad that IE freezes and I have no access to the network on her PC.

Here is what I have done so far.
1) Removed using Antispyware on PC. Little impact as the spyware came back.
2) Vundo scan and clean. This removed one of the error messages dls0523pmw.exe.
3) Attempted to run Spybot...Since my daughters PC doesn't have access to the internet I downloaded on CD. Unfortunately the software requires a update scan prior to running so it didn't work.

Below is my Hijack this logfile

[gerbil]

SP1, eh? No wonder she got whacked.... well, it makes it much more likely, much more.
Oh boy... where to start? Download these pgms onto a CDRW for her machine:

==Download this temp file cleaner from [url]http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1[/url]  
==Download Avenger from  [url]http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger.zip[/url]
==Download this file to your desktop:  [url]http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/ComboFix.exe[/url]
            ...or from here: [url]http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe[/url]

Okay. You must be in an Administrator-privileged account to run this procedure...
Save ATF Cleaner to the desktop or a cleaning folder somewhere, dclick the .exe to run it, and when ATF Cleaner opens go Select all, and then Empty Selected.
Next click Firefox (if you have that browser..) at the top, Select All again, and Empty Selected again. Follow that procedure also if you have Opera.
Close ATF.
Avenger: unzip it to her desktop, leave it for the moment.
ComboFix - copy the .exe to her desktop or to a cleaning folder.

Now start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.

Next, go Start, Run, and paste this line into the run text box:

sc delete Net Agent

Good-oh, now for ComboFix- to run it dclick combofix.exe and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log, C:\Combofix.txt - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Now start Avenger ; select “Input script manually” and then click the magnifying glass icon. Paste into the box as one block all the text between the lines:-

_____________________________________

...and click Done, and finally the green light.
Follow promps to reboot your machine.
The files, etc., that you asked Avenger to delete are zipped to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
Avenger creates a log file that should open with the results of its actions. This file is located at C:\avenger.txt
Check the Avenger log; if it cannot find these two files would you please do a search for them and delete them manually:

smanager.7.exe
IExplorer.dll .dbt

I thought they may be hiding in system32, but it was a guess as no path was indicated in the hijackthis log...

I see old traces of Vundo also, but we'll check for that next run...
And now please rename hijackthis.exe to shesabunny.exe (I'm serious), start it and produce a new log. Post that along with the Avenger log and ComboFix logs, plus your comments please.
