Dr. Watson's vs. a newbie

Hello and welcome to Geeks To Go.
Sorry for the delay in response

Lets start out with some general scans and see if we cant clean things up a little.

• +++++ Step 1 +++++
• Go Here download and install Cleanup!
• Open up the program and click on the cleanup button, Let it do it’s thing.
  It will ask you to reboot do so,
• When the computer restarts it will open again and finish running, allow it to do so please,
  
  
  +++++ Step 2 +++++
  
  Please download Ewido security suite it is a trial version of the program.
  • Install Ewido security suite
  • Launch Ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
  • The program will prompt you to update click the OK button
  • The program will now go to the main screen
  You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
  • On the left hand side of the main screen click update
  • Click on Start
  The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  Once the updates are installed do the following:
  • Click on scanner
  • Make sure the following boxes are checked before scanning:
    • Binder
    • Crypter
    • Archives
  • Click on Start Scan
  • Let the program scan the machine
  While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK
  
  Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report
  • Save the report to your desktop
  +++++ Step 3 +++++
  
  Please run an on-line virus scan at Kaspersky OnLine Scan or if that doesnt work, you can use TrendMicro or BitDefender. (Please post the results of the scan(s) in your next reply)
  
  +++++ Step 4 +++++
  
• Update HiJackThis
  • Open HiJackThis
  • Click Open the Misc Tools Section
  • Click Check for update online
  +++++ Step 5 +++++
  
  After that, I will need to see two different logs from HiJackThis. The first is the normal log like you posted here. To get the other one, follow these directions.
  
  Open HijackThis, click Config, click Misc Tools
• Click "Open Uninstall Manager"
• Click "Save List" (generates uninstall_list.txt)
• Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.

Post back with those logs and we can continue from there.

If you have recieved help elsewhere or no longer need our assistance, please let us know.

Thanks don77 for your reply. I've followed your instructions and hope you can help.

I ran Cleanup and got rid of the temp files. Here's the Ewido Security Suite report:

::Report End

I've actually run the ewido scan two or three times and it keeps coming up with a spyware.tracking-cookie or two.

I ran the Kaspersky Online Scan, which took a while but found and cleaned a 'Terronia.2538' virus that several other scans (McAfee, ewido, Panda online scan, etc.) hadn't tracked.

So, here are the HijackThis logs you need- thank so much for your help:

Reboot your computer

Please run these two online scans. Make sure they are set to clean automatically:

TrendMicro's HouseCall
ActiveScan

You should try to delete any files that these scanners are unable to clean. Make sure you check the 'Disinfect automatically' option in Active scan, and check the “Auto Clean” option in TrendMicro, Then let us know if its working better and what the scans found.

Then scan again with HijackThis and post another log.
