736142 2009-01-08 07:28:00 AVG picked up an Adware.generic infection on the registry(HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe rsion\run\\AVP)
couldn't find it with regedit. How do i fix it?

oh yeah when i try to delete it with AVG it says "Threat cannot be removed by standard user rights, Do you want remove threat as poweruser? I choose yes and then enter my admin user and password and it says "some files cannot be healed:access denied."

736143 2009-01-08 07:35:00 Do a scan with malwarebytes

Get a better AV program

736144 2009-01-08 07:47:00 I use Kaspersky and malwarebytes on the same computer and they don't detect anything, i also used Ad-aware, Spybot, Spyware terminator, SuperAntispyware Professional. (Overkill or thorough? better safe then sorry.) Mateo1981 (12187)
736145 2009-01-08 07:59:00 Well yer.

You dont need so many, theyre probably conflicting with each other, if theyre all running at the same time

If Kaspersky is installed, get rid of AVG. You should only have one AV program installed

Disable all of them in startup. Get trojan remover then do a scan, post a HJT log

That entry you posted maybe a trojan. So disable system restore

736146 2009-01-08 09:22:00 disabled system restore, Trojan Remover found and removed some files and my HJT log is:

736147 2009-01-08 09:31:00 You sure AVG wasnt picking up Kaspersky's startup entry??

Since thats AVP?

Tick this entry then tick fix checked

Close browsers

O3 - Toolbar: &Crawler Toolbar - {4B3803EA-5230-4DC3-A7FC-33638F3D3542} - C:\PROGRA~1\Crawler\Toolbar\ctbr.dll

Uninstall this

O18 - Protocol: tbr - {4D25FB7A-8902-4291-960E-9ADA051CFBBF} - C:\PROGRA~1\Crawler\Toolbar\ctbr.dll

Then reboot, then turn system restore back on

Done.
Do they program these programs to conflict with each other on purpose?
Mateo1981 (12187)
736149 2009-01-08 10:06:00 It may have been a false postive with AVG or something. It thats what it was picking up (Kaspersky)

AVG has done this before by the looks of it lol with Nortons/Avira (www.wilderssecurity.com)

736150 2009-01-08 19:45:00 cool thanks for your help. Mateo1981 (12187)
