Yet another major newbie at these things, but i think i have much the same issue as PyromanicElf, neo fightr, tdcook4 and 4fun.
Using Ad-aware SE, I repeatedly come up with three VX2 processes and one VX2 regvalue, two tracking cookies (type IECache entry) and three redirected host file entrys.
When I try to remove the infections the start menu bar and all desktop icons disappear for a moment, a message appears saying that C:\windows\system32\k4nole531h.dll cannot be removed and the My Documents folder opens itself up.
Also, everytime I start my PC it will open up with a message
"An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\XXX.dll", UMonitor
XXX being an ever changing file name within the system32 folder.
I am getting various pop-ups appearing from time to time and finally at random intervals the start menu graphics will change (similar to when running in safe mode) and the whole system will then shutdown and reboot.
I am totally confused about the whole situation and any help would be wonderful as I have got to the stage where I am considering re-building the whole system.
My hijackthis log is detailed below and any help would be greatly appreciated.
