The other evening my pc was attacked by a trojan/virus. AntivirusGold2 and PSGuard automatically installed themselves, and my desktop was replaced by some kinda active webpage stating that my computer was infected and that I needed to "click here" in order to solve the problem. Also my homepage was redirected to another ad asking me to "click here" to remove spyware.
At the time I had McAfee VirusScan installed and running. It caught a few things and automatically "cleaned" them, however there was still quite a mess left behind including the AntivirusGold2 and PSGuard. I then opened Webroot's Spy Sweeper and ran that. It found a few more things and removed them. All the while McAfee is constantly telling me that:
"The file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WININET.DLL is infected by the W32/Alemod.b.dll virus and cannot be deleted."
- AND -
"The file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\OLEADM.dll is infected by the Spy-Agent.h trojan and cannot be cleaned."
I then rebooted in safemode and ran Spy Sweeper and McAfee again. McAfee picked up the two virus again but still could not clean or delete them.
After pulling my hair out I ended up here at geekstogo, registered and followed the steps instructed at the "start here" link for suspected spyware infection. I downloaded and ran CleanUp!, downloaded Ad-aware SE and ran it, ran CWShredder, ran Spybot S&D, performed the online virus scan, rebooted and then installed and ran Hijack This.
All of this definately seemed to get rid of alot of harmful files, although McAfee is still prompting me about those two viruses that it cannot clean and the desktop is still acting strange; the initial "you've been infected, click here to save your computer" desktop is no longer showing, it is instead now a white background that changes color when i click on a window. I think it is still an active webpage desktop of some sort; when i right click on it show the "view source" selection.
Anyway I haven't a clue what i'm doing here. Hopefully i havent made things worse. Also I made sure to re-enable all startup files that Spy Sweeper was blocking prior to running Hijack This. Thanks in advance for any help.
Here's the log:
