I have seen previous postings of this virus on this website and I believe I may be able to get rid of this virus on my own, but since this is my friend's computer I do not want to take the chance to delete something that may be important. Thanks so much!

Please read the first link in my signature and follow the steps outlined there. You must install XP SP1a (hold off on SP2 until your computer is clean). Without SP1a, you are wide open to re-infection. When you are ready, post a new HijackThis log here.

How about Service Pack 1a? Did you install that yet? You must install it before we can continue, otherwise you will be wide open to reinfection.
