I'd be grateful for any help, and any tips on how to also speed up my pc, perhaps by stopping any processes that aren't required.

Rename your copy of hijackthis.exe to seek.exe and post a fresh log run in Normal Mode. It's possible that a nasty is interfering with the normal working of HJT in order to hide itself and renaming the .exe will get around this.
* Please note that you need to rename the file itself - renaming a shortcut will prove about as effective as a chocolate fireguard!

Also, run HJT and click on Open the Misc Tools section.

• Click Open Uninstall Manager...
• Click Save list... and save it to your Desktop.
• Copy and paste the file uninstall_list.txt into your next reply.

Download Combofix by sUBs from here and save it to your Desktop.

• Double click combo.exe to run it and follow the prompts.
• When the tool has finished, it will produce a log C:\ComboFix.txt - copy and paste it into your next reply.
• Post a fresh HJT log as well.
• Let me know how the PC is behaving.

Please Note:

• Do not mouse click in the combofix window while it is running - this may cause your system to hang/crash.
• Disable Script Blocking if you have NAV installed as it will interfere with the normal working of this tool.
• Should any security program warnings appear, ignore them as they are false-positives - this tool isn't malicious.

The PC isn't really behaving any differently as far as I can see either.

[Noviciate]

The PC isn't really behaving any differently as far as I can see either.

Any different to what? Is it slower than normal, do you have pop-ups, is there a little green man sat on the monitor throwing peanuts at you?
You can see your PC, I can only see the information that you post - what you don't tell me, I don't take into account.

[Goff]

Now I'm back on the PC, it doesn seem as slow, and I haven't seen any popups yet, so things have improved I'd say!

[Noviciate]

I'll split this into two parts. Work through both and then post accordingly.

You will need to make a copy of these instructions because you have to disconnect from the internet to complete the fix. Either print them out or copy and paste them into Notepad.

Preparation

1) Download the trial version of AVG Anti-Spyware from here and save it to your Desktop.
If you already have this program installed, skip to Updating AVG Anti-Spyware: below.

* Please note that this program was formerly known as Ewido anti-spyware 4.0.
Taken from the Ewido website -

ewido anti-spyware 4.0 will now continue under the new product name AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5. AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 contains the same ewido technology, but with some further enhanced features:

Highly improved cleaning
Lower resource usage
Additional languages supported

All current licenses for ewido anti-spyware 4.0 will continue to be valid, and users can change over to the new AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 for free.

Double click the avg-setup file to begin installation and follow the prompts.
When the program has been installed, and you click the Finish button, AVG A-S will open.

• Updating AVG Anti-Spyware:
  
  By default AVG A-S is configured to update automatically so, if you have an active internet connection, it should do so following installation. If you are unsure whether or not it has done so, do the following:
• Click the Update icon at the top and under "Manual Update" - click the Start update button.
• Either AVG A-S will update or inform you that no update was available.
• If you cannot access the internet with the infected PC, or you are having problems updating, you can download the signatures file from here.
  Once you have installed AVG A-S, double click avgas-signatures-current.exe to update it.
  
  Disabling the Resident Shield:
  
• By default the Resident Shield is active but as it may interfere with the process of cleaning your PC, it will need to be disabled.
  (When the PC has been cleaned you can activate the shield again, if you wish.)
• Click the Shield icon at the top and under "Resident shield is..." - click active.
• This should now change to inactive.
  
  Changing Recommended Actions
  
• Click the Scanner icon at the top and then click the Settings Tab.
• Under "How to act?" click Recommended actions and select "Quarantine" from the menu.

You can now close AVG A-S.

AVG A-S is designed to be used to both scan for and remove malicious files and also to run in real-time alongside, but not replace, your existing anti-virus program to give an added layer of protection.
Both the Resident Shield and Automatic Updates will only be available for the thirty day trial period, after that AVG A-S will revert to a stand-alone scanner which you can keep and manually update for free and use in a similar way to Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D etc.
Should you wish to benefit from the real-time protection, you will need to upgrade the program. To do this, simply open it and click on the Buy now button.

2) You will need to set Windows to show All Hidden Files and Folders.
Instructions can be found here.
** These files are hidden to stop you accidentally removing something important.
It is advisable to hide them again after fixing your computer. **

3) Log off from the internet and disconnect your modem cable for the duration of the fix.

Removal

1) Run HijackThis as you did to generate a log, but this time click on 'Do a system scan only'.
Place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

** HJTFix, if any, goes here ***

CLOSE ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND BROWSERS - EXCEPT HJT and click on Fix checked

2) Boot into Safe Mode.

• If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
• Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
• Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
• Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
• Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
• Login on your usual account.

3) Navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp folder and delete all the files that you find there.

4) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

5) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options.

For I.E. 6 - under Temporary Internet files, click on Delete Files...
Check the box to the left of 'Delete all offline content' and then click on OK.

For I.E. 7 - under Browsing History, click delete...
Under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete files...

6) Ensure that ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders are closed and then run AVG A-S.

• If it is not already selected, click the Scanner icon at the top and then select the Scan Tab.
• Click "Complete System Scan"
• While the scan is in progress the PC should be left otherwise idle - so if you fancy a cuppa, now's the time to put the kettle on!
• When the scan has completed, any threats that AVG A-S has detected will be displayed.
• Click the Apply all actions button at the bottom.
• When AVG A-S has finished, it will display the message "All actions have been applied".
  
  Saving a report:
  
• Click the Save Report button at the bottom left and the "Reports" window will open.
• The content of the scan report will be displayed in the right hand pane and a copy will be automatically saved as Report-Scan-date-time.txt into the C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\Reports folder.
• You will need to post a copy of this report into your next reply, so if it is more convenient, you can save another copy of this report elsewhere:
  Click the Save report as button and select a destination by clicking the down arrow to the right of the Save in: text box and then click Save.

Close AVG Anti-Spyware.

7) Boot into Normal Mode.

Post a new HJT log (run in Normal Mode), the AVG A-S log AND a description of how your PC is running.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following steps will serve as a spring clean for your PC. Not all of them will be of benefit to your PC as this is a general post, but the overall effect should be positive.

1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove any programs that you no longer use and then reboot your PC.

2) Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune from here and save it to your Desktop.
Double click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Check the boxes to the left of:Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Temporary Internet Files
Java Cache
The rest are optional - if you want to remove the lot, check "Select All".
Finally click Empty Selected. When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.

If you use the Firefox or Opera browsers, you can use this program as a quick way to tidy those up as well.

When you have finished, click on the Exit button in the Main menu.

For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

Please Note: This program is for Windows XP and Windows 2000 only.

3) Double click My Computer.
Right click the disc drive you wish to check.
Click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Tools Tab.
Under Error-checking, click the Check Now button.
In the "Check Disc Local Disk (C:)" dialog box, check both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, and then click Start.

This will look for and attempt to repair any errors that your hard drive has.

4) Defragment your hard drive. A tutorial for disc defragmentation is available here.

5) Download and run StartUp Inspector.
This program will help you to decide exactly what programs you disable from running at startup.
The Readme.txt file included has instructions on how to use it.

Ignore my use of the "quote" tags - the long standing forum glitch affects certain of my posts and requires this workaround - you shouldn't need to do the same.

1) Run HijackThis as you did to generate a log, but this time click on 'Do a system scan only'.
Place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

** HJTFix, if any, goes here ***

CLOSE ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND BROWSERS - EXCEPT HJT and click on Fix checked



What entries do I fix?

[Noviciate]

Sorry, my bad. There are no entries to fix, which is why there aren't any listed.

[Goff]

Ok, thanks, I'll follow the steps and get back to you.

[Goff]

Thanks.

Sorry but I wasn't able to save a log on AVG-AS because I left the scan on and went out, and my father just applied all actions without saving the log.

Heres a HJT log now:

Anything else that may be running, which doesn't need to be, which may slow down the PC?

[Noviciate]

You don't say how the PC is behaving.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Run HijackThis as you did to generate a log, but this time click on 'Do a system scan only'.
Place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: nnnmkll - nnnmkll.dll (file missing)

Right that's done.

The PC does now feel a lot more responsive and I've not seen any of those popups since the ComboFix.

Are there now any other extra tips on speeding my PC up, as I have an oldish computer with low RAM, so any little bit of speed helps

[Noviciate]

A couple of things that need attention.

You are running an old version of Sun Java which needs updating:

• Go here and click on the Download button to the right of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u2.
• Accept the license agreement by clicking the appropriate radio button and then continue.
• Under Windows Platform - Java™ SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 2, click the Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language link.
• Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any entries that refer to Java 2 Runtime Environment and then reboot your PC.
• Navigate to and delete the following folder, if it exists: C:\Program Files\Java.
• Finally double click the installation file that you downloaded earlier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your log doesn't appear to show a third-party software firewall installed - if you have one, and i've missed it, please ignore this.
If you are relying the firewall that comes with Service Pack 2, then you need to install one. While the SP2 firewall is better than nothing, it doesn't monitor outgoing traffic, so anything malicious on your computer can 'phone home' at will.

There are a few free firewalls available.
Zone Alarm: Available here.
Kerio: Available here.
Outpost: Available here.
Comodo: Available here.

It is important to note that you should only have one firewall installed at a time, but you can download them all to your Desktop and install each in turn to see which one you prefer.

Understanding and Using Firewalls: http://www.bleepingc...tutorial60.html

I have just installed Comodo on my laptop and am quite impressed with it, if that's recommendation enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As to the PC speed, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of. At the moment you have four anti-spyware programs that could be running in real-time: AVG A-S, Ad-Aware 2007, Windows Defender and SUPERAntiSpyware.
AVG A-S is unfortunately using system resources whether you have the Guard enabled or not due to way it is written, so you can start with this one first. Should you not want to use the real-time protection, which is going to tie up system resources, or once the thirty day free trial is over should you not choose to upgrade the progam, you can save a little processor time with the following (I'm assuming that you allowed it to install to the default location - if not, this will need a little editing!):

Copy and paste the following into Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad):

sc config "AVG Anti-Spyware Guard" start= demand
del /q avg1.bat

Save it to your Desktop with the following filename, including quotation marks: "avg1.bat"

Repeat for the following but save it as "avg2":

net start "AVG Anti-Spyware Guard"
"%programfiles%\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\avgas.exe"
net stop "AVG Anti-Spyware Guard"

Double click avg1.bat and it will alter the associated Guard service to manual from automatic and then delete itself.
This will mean that AVG A-S will no longer run if you double click the shortcut - it will prompt you to reinstall.
In order to start the service and run AVG A-S, double click avg2. A command window will open and remain open as long as AVG A-S is open. When you shut AVG A-S, the batch file will stop the service and then the Command window will close. This one won't delete itself, so you can reuse it every time you want to use AVG A-S.

I don't use Ad-Aware 2007 or SUPERAntiSpyware so i'm not familiar with them, but unless they are set to run in real-time, they are using system resources for no reason. I'm not sure whether you need to have this number of programs monitoring your PC, if they are all running this task, but it's up to you to decide.

Other than that, there's not a lot I can recommend, apart from a new PC of course!

And now for the finale:

I want you to run your PC as normal for a few days and when you are happy that everything is fine, do the following:

Update your anti-virus program,
Disable System Restore,
Boot into Safe Mode,
Scan your computer for viruses.
When you get the all clear, reboot into Normal Mode.
Re-enable System Restore,
Create a Restore Point.
This will give a clean Restore Point should you need it in the future.
A tutorial for System Restore is available here.

The reason for waiting is that if removing the malware has caused a problem, which it occasionally does, you can put your PC back to how it was before the fix. This will re-install the malware, but an infected PC is better than an expensive paperweight!

Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.
