What and how it happened:
I was playing City of Heroes (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games), or CoH, last night as I usually do. After the game started I noticed a slowdown on performance and a change on graphics, as is another window has opened in the background (sometimes MS Works Calendar does this). When I Alt-TAB'ed I noticed a Command Prompt window running command after command, it was so fast I was not even able to see any text.
After I exited CoH my computer seemed possesed. I saw all these spyware and adware utilities getting installed by themselves... there browser utility bars, a little taskbar icon called GetCash Network or something like that, etc.
I turn my firewall and antivirus off when playing this particular game. I considered myself to know about computers, I'm not saying I'm an expert though; and I admit I screwed up. After turning Norton back on it advised me of the trojan Trojan.Alwayup located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\winupdt.exe and it was unable to remove it.
One by one I ran Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE, SpyBot S&D, Microsoft's Antispyware BETA, and Norton AV. They all found different infections and they were all cleaned. With the exception of a file called winup2date.dll in my C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder. So I rebooted in SAFE MODE through the MSCONFIG tool; my computer is a Sony VAIO and for some reason using the F8 mode doesn't work.
I ran everything again, removed some new things... still I get access denied to this file. So I figured the registry is firing it up when Windows starts. I went to the registry, exported it, searched for the file name... and deleted the 2 entries with the file name. Rebooted in safe mode again, voila... file is gone.
I also went to the Control Panel and uninstalled as much of these tools as I found. Let it be noted that I tried to revert the computer to a previous date with System Restore and I got an error with every single date I tried. The only thing I have not been able to remove is the E2give Plug-In. When I click on Remove nothing happens.
I rebooted my PC back on normal mode, and I still found some random pop-ups. I came to the internet for help and found this site. I ran Housecall and it did not find anything, I ran CWSHredder and it did not find anything. There are still some processes I do not recognize so I downloaded Hijack This and I've come here for help on how to clean up my computer once and for all.
I think the Trojan is gone, but it would seem as if the adware/spyware are still able to duplicate. Every time I start my computer I get a request from weird files which names are only numbers to access all my adapters and ports through Norton Internet Security firewall, I always click on BLOCK.
As of right now this is all I remember, I am very aggravated by this so I may have forgotten some details that I will post later if they come back to. Without further ado... my Hijack This log...
