First I tried running Microsoft AntiSpywear, Spy Sweeper, Spybot S&D, and Norton Antivirus. They delete the adware by Direct Revenue and than it comes right back.
I have tried to follow some of the advice given to others on the board with similar problems. This is what I have done:
1) Reboot into Safe Mode 2) Run Nailfix.cmd 3) Run a full scan of Ewido 4) Run Hijackthis and delete the line that ends in Nail.exe
I have also tried the above steps with the addition of using an "improved" version of NailFix, running CClean after Ewido, and deleting a process in HijackThis called O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [klwpvo]C:\Windows\System32\klouout.exe r
As soon as I restart the computer I get requests to access the internet from files called thnall1ac.exe and sxmdbuxnrl.exe.
Here is my current HijackThis log:
