This laptop has been reduced to a smoldering pile of crap after my idiot sisters got their grubby hands on it. I've tried to cleanse it time and time again but apparently to no avail, and NOW there's even shiny new malware! Just more crap to stack on top of the mile-high heap that includes NEVER connecting to our wireless router when it's literally two inches away from the ****ing (don't know how swearing is looked upon here) antenna, but has absolutely no problem being in range of and even connecting to what I assume are my neighbors' wireless connections. Then when it does connect it, to use a pop culture phrase, drops it like it's hot. Ugh... hopefully that and the totally unreasonable, unexplained CPU usage are the results of all the garbage shoved up this computer's orifice. Maybe one of you guys can keep me from punching through a wall here.

The things that I know are on here but still can't rid myself of are some Spector keyloggers and browser spys, WebSeach Toolbar aka TBPS (how stupid did the programmer have to be to omit the 'r' in search...), and a very stubborn VX2.Look2me that CWShredder can't seem to resolve. Then there's a mysterious Winlogon Notify whose name keeps changing and also won't go away. I've tried to rid myself of TBPS on my own, which included going through the registry and manually deleting any and all references to TBPS, and there were some folders that wouldn't delete and the keys would regenerate after clicking back over to the folders. :tazz: ;)

Here's my HJT log.

EDIT: I just got ewido and it's finding all the stuff I suspected... it's finding the same things several times in a row though, I don't know if that's normal or if it's not able to fix it. But apparently I have the Qoologic trojan downloader. Mmm, tasty. I think that's what KavSvc is.
