Hi, my second/backup laptop just got infected. Goodness, This is sad.

My laptop was taking a long time to shutdown and startup and kept losing its internet connection.
I scanned w/ Norton AV and found nothing. I scanned w/ MBAM and found that one of my files were infected by trojan.extension.exploit. MBAM found and deleted it. On shutdown and restart had the same problem--ie computer was very slow. At restart rescanned w/ MBAM and found same infection. Again MBAM says infection is delted. Again on shutdown and startup same problem. And again a scan by MBAM reveals the infection.

Not sure what to do. Here's the HJT log followed by the uninstall log.

Grey Knight, thanks for the help!

I think I was able to remove the file that MBAM was unable to remove. It was an Arabic file--this is probably why it showed up as a bunch of question marks in MBAM. I reran MBAM and found no trace of maleware. My computer is still slow at startup and shutdown. However, this may be b/c of Lenovo's software. The whole thing started when I would lose connectivity on my wireless connection and could not reconnect or shut down. A number of people have had this problem with lenovos. I'm trying to figure out what to do--it may involve uninstalling some of Lenovo's software. It could also be slow b/c I installed Norton AV. But for now I'm able to shutdown and start up.

I posted new MBAM and HJT logs. If you still think I need to run COMBO Fix let me know, and I'll run it.

Thanks again for your help.

Here is the MBAM scan followed by the HJT log:

You can try disabling some startup programs to see if it helps. Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following if they still exist and hit 'Fix Checked' after you checked the last one:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ISUSPM Startup] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\UPDATE~1\ISUSPM.exe -startup
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Reader Speed Launcher] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\jusched.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ISUSScheduler] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\issch.exe" -start
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Google Update] "C:\Documents and Settings\Sayeed\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /c
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Speed Launch.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Synchronizer.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AdobeCollabSync.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE


Otherwise, remove Symantec and install AVG instead. It's free for personal use.
