Hello there, I'm having some trouble with my computer.
Last night I ran a Malwarebytes full scan, and it told me that I had about 9 different
trojans on my computer. I wrote down the names and got:
trojan.vundo.H
trojan.shutdowner
trojan.downloader
trojan.agent
rootkit.agent
rootkit.ADS
malware.trace
trojan.BHO
trojan.fakealert

(I am aware that some of these are part of the "antivirus 2009" and similar malware
family, and that malwarebytes has deleted some of these since.)

I clicked "remove", shut it off, turned it on this morning,
and my computer worked fine. Shortly after, I shut off my computer, tried to
turn it back on, and had to wait an abnormally long time for startup. (about 15 minutes,
the desktop background loads, but no icons/start bar do)
I am unable to open internet explorer, as when I click on it a window will flash open
and then close, and the start bar is hidden, and not allowing me to move it up.
I am unable to run Malwarebytes, I tried renaming the .exe, and it still
would not work. (I get an error that says "run-time error '372'
Failed to load control 'vbalGrid' from vbalgrid6.ocx. Your version of vbalgrid6.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application." )
When I try to start up the computer I get an error message:
"windows- no disk
there is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR2."

I will post my hijackthis log below:
Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I tried analyzing my hijackthis log myself by looking up the
extensions that looked suspicious. I found that svcho.exe, emqsys.dll, and inetchk
were all harmful to my computer, and deleted them via hijackthis.
When I restarted my computer everything seemed to be working fine again.
I am going to try running some virus removal programs now to make sure
that my computer is clean.


EDIT(again..):
So, I think I've ruined my computer. :)
I ran SmitFraudFix on my computer to make sure
that it was clean.. I followed the directions and first
scanned, and then rebooted into safemode to delete.
When I booted into safemode, nothing came up except for
the black background informing me it is in safemode. I
ran smitfraudfix through the task manager, and as soon as
it was finished with the delete process all my icons appeared, etc.
Icons called "catchme.txt" and "catchme.zip" appeared on my desktop,
and after looking them up, I came to the conclusion that I could delete them.
(and I did).
I then rebooted normally, but again my icons didn't appear, and only
my background showed up. I ran hijackthis through the task manager,
and searched the log file for any of the 3 harmful files that I'd found above.
I found something with "inetchk" in it, so I proceeded to delete it through
hijackthis.

And now for my issue: When I try to start up my computer, it will bring me
to the screen only displaying my background, and no icons. Shortly after
it will bring me back to the "Welcome" screen, and allow me to click "UserXP".
Once I do this, it will take me back to the desktop for a short time, and then
log off, bringing me to the Welcome screen again.
I tried booting in different kinds of safe modes, etc, and it is still doing this.
Have I ruined my computer? :)
