674071 2008-05-30 20:43:00 Ok, I've tried to remove with Spybot search and destroy, and I keep getting the same result when I restart but it is recognizing the virtumonde.dll. I'm trying ad aware because it claims it has a virtumonde removal tool built into it but so far it hasnt worked. I need to restart and try it in safe mode. I seem to have removed all of the malware except for the virtumonde which crashes hijack this as soon as I get the log so I dont know if its complete. The explorer.exe crashing does not happen in safe mode. Heres the log that I was able to generate:

Uninstall all versions of Sun Java, yours is out of date. Link is in my sig.

Try trojan remover in my sig below. Install it update it then click on scan.

Then select all options under utilitites.

Then open my computer / right mouse on c then scan with trojan remover.

See what it picks up

674073 2008-05-30 21:13:00 Ok, I'm finishing a scan of malwarebytes anti malware that I picked up from another post on here. I'll run the HJT and remove those you just said and complete the trojan removal program. I'll post the lost from that as soon as its complete. rpm5099 (13774)
674074 2008-05-30 21:14:00 Oh and yes I had to use Nlite to slipstream my raid drivers becuase there was windows setup kept hanging during the driver signing confirmation. rpm5099 (13774)
674075 2008-05-30 21:15:00 do I need to be in safe mode for these scans btw? can I use safe mode with networking to allow the scanning software to update iteslf? Thanks rpm5099 (13774)
674076 2008-05-30 21:19:00 No, you should be able to tick these in normal windows

Altho if My computer crashes in normal windows, you'll have to scan with trojan remover in safe mode - networking

Umm leave the entries under where I asked about Nlite then.

Not too sure if these can be ticked or not.

I've never had to slipstream SATA drivers. So, I've never seen those entries before in startup.
Speedy Gonzales (78)
674077 2008-05-30 21:37:00 the nlite entries are just for the initial windows install and I'm pretty sure they arent necesary so I went ahead and got rid of them. Explorer.exe crashes regularly so I'm running trojan remover in safe mode, but its still restarting even in safe mode. I'll post again in a minute as soon as this trojan scan is complete.

Also, the one key you had me remove, is that related to the virtumonde virus? Thanks.

674078 2008-05-30 21:41:00 Also, the one key you had me remove, is that related to the virtumonde virus? Thanks.

I have no idea what that entry did or does.

I've never seen that entry before either

Oops, if you've got anything made by creative, that 1st entry may belong to it
