Little problem I have been havin the past few weeks. Just random pop-ups and slowing down my internet connection. It seems that when i am experiencing the slow down from internet connection, killing explorer.exe solves it temporarily. Seems to be a trojan as well. I know what the problem is:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {14F8215D-638E-4238-B06D-6788B54023B3} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutu.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FBD29C3C-C642-4843-A627-6E54A947B511} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddcaxww.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ddcaxww - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ddcaxww.dll

I just can't seem to get rid of it. I have tried hijackthis, avg, remove on restart and killbox. But none get rid of it. Any help would be apprciated, i'm just about ready to format.

oh and as a side note it just popped up i didn't have v2 of hijack this but the files that i believe to be the problem don't appear in v2, so i will post both.

EDIT: i just realized i forgot to change the name of hijackthis when i downloaded v2 and that's why they weren't showing.

Hi there,

Welcome to GeeksToGo. My name is RatHat, and I will help you get through the process of cleaning the malware from your computer.


OK firstly, I need you to print out each post I make so that you can refer to it while we fix your computer. This is because there will be times when you are unable to be online to read my instructions, and I will want you to do everything very carefully. I also need you to follow my instructions in the order that they are given. If however, you cannot carry out one of them, please continue on with the next and let me know what you were unsuccessful with. Please ensure you turn off word wrap in Notepad. To do this, open Notepad, choose Format, then Un-check Word Wrap. (Word Wrap makes reading your log difficult).

Next, I would like to make sure that you can view hidden files and folders;

• Click Start.
• Open My Computer.
• Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
• Select the View tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading SELECT Show hidden files and folders.
• UNCHECK the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
• UNCHECK the Hide extensions for known file types option.

Thanks combofix was what i needed. Combination of hijackthis, killbox and combofix got the job done.

[RatHat]

Could you post the logs as I have requested above so that I can check that your system is malware free.

RatHat

Do you still require assistance with this log?
