LOL how did you find my original post from november? I looked for it so I could just post on that but I couldnt find it. Anyways I had written down the information u gave me on my original post and found the paper I wrote it on and used that last night to re- take care of my wintoolsa, wsup, tbps problems..... You are stellar I appreciate your coming to my rescue on both occaisions I believe I contracted them this time from someone ram chip I borrowed thinking that it was still in its memory I could be wrong though.... I will post a hi- jack this log so you can check it out an make sure I took care of everything I know for sure they are no longer in my run procceses. Also I keep gettin a trojan.downloader.5.h in my restore file but I believe I know how to remove that (disable my system restore and let my anti-virus remove it) Anyways heres my new hjt log hope to hear back from ya soon and thanks again!

You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure.
Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.
Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

Reboot normally, and post new log. Please include any information about your system. Do you still have Wtools? I don't see a whole lot in the log.

I found your post by clicking on your name and clicking "find members topics" :tazz:

You're log is lookin clean to me... Do you still have wtools.a? Here is a link to a removal tool, try this and tell me if it finds anything. What I meant about information was is everything running good? Bad? What is it you still may have? How do you know you have wtools? You should be able to uninstall it in add/remove programs in the control panel.
