I am new to HijackThis analysis, so please bear with me.

About a month ago, I noticed that our DSL internet connection was much slower than normal. A few days ago, I got a call from my ISP saying that I must have a virus, because they were getting spam from my computer. I then noticed that when I am connected to the internet, my computer is continuously transmitting packets, even when I don't have any applications running. I have gone through the whole "Required steps" list over the last couple of days, running Adaware, Spybot, Ewido, and the TrendMicro online scan, but I still had a slow connection and the computer was still continuously uploading. I then installed ZoneAlarm and noticed that if I block access to winlogon.exe, the computer stops the continuous upload.

I have run HijackThis, and there are three O20 entries. Two of them are listed as file missing, but the third is "iclmirqv.dll", which was last modified 2/9/2006, about the same time I started having problems. I checked the O20 list at http://www.castlecops.com/O20.html, but "iclmirqv.dll" is not listed. A google search for this file also turned up nothing.

Any thoughts or recommendations on next steps? Thanks for your help.
