My computer again was infected with a nasty virus, something referencing EZULA this time. After running several AD-WARE removal utilities and changing the necesary administrative rights to delete all of the parasitic files that could not be deleted I am now receiving two RUN DLL errors when the PC starts up. The dlls something is looking for are

ielzcde8.dll
li01f948.dll

I am no longer sure if these are parasitic dll's that are being called from some process that is still running on my PC or whether these are legitimate dlls that were inadvertently deleted during the many scans I had to perform, here is a Hijack this file from current

You need an anti-virus to prevent future virus problems! AVG is a great free anti-virus program:

http://www.grisoft.c...s_dwnl_free.php

For your immediate problem, reboot in safe mode (by tapping F8 at startup and select safe mode from the menu). Be sure you're able to view hidden files and folders, and remove the following files in bold:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe <-- This File
C:\PROGRA~1\Internet Explorer\[n]inetkw.dl[/b] <-- This File
C:\Program Files\TV Media\ <-- This Folder
C:\Program Files\Enigma Software Group\ <-- This Folder
C:\Program Files\BulletProofSoft.com\ <-- This Folder (these last two programs truthfully don't help anything)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ps2.exe <-- This File
C:\WINDOWS\System32\gnabant.exe <-- This File
C:\WINDOWS\System32\li01f948.dll <-- This File
C:\WINDOWS\System32\iel2cde8.dll <-- This File
C:\WINDOWS\System32\psp1hfmx.exe <-- This File

Next, please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost

O16 - DPF: {EECF9899-FC3A-4841-986F-30B874921B36} (BrowserObj Class) - http://idx-care-cast.../IDXBrowser.cab

The following are optional and not required (they're using up RAM):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime (Quicktime Tray Icon)
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MoneyAgent] "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\mnyexpr.exe" (Microsoft Money Tray Icon)
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background (MSN Messenger)

Reboot your PC.

If you would please, rescan with HijackThis and post a fresh log. <_<

I am posting the new Hijack this log after following the instructions of the first reply......problem remains, still receiving the RUN DLL errors, also, please note that these dlls are not on my harddrive, that is why I am receiving the error, seems to me that whatever process or app is calling them is the one that needs to be corrected. Even though the HT log lists some of these files in certain cases they have already been deleted.

Waiting for more instructions

P.S. What does PS2.exe do because this can be removed from the remove software utility in Control Panel
