This virus seems to have various different alias's based on my internet search:

About:Blank
Home Search AssistEnt (yes, misspelled with an E)
Search Extender
Shopping Wizard
Win32.trojandownlader.agent.dl


Anyways, I have been trying to remove this virus for a month now. My main problem is the Remote Procedure Call Helper that this virus uses to reinstall intelf HAS NO PATH NAME!!! This is my result from the "servicefilter" program:

Unknown Service # 4
Service Name: 6Q'8
Display Name: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper
Start Mode: Manual
Start Name: LocalSystem
Description: ...
Service Type: Share Process
Path:
State: Stopped
Process ID: 0
Started: False
Exit Code: 1077
Accept Pause: False
Accept Stop: False


Without this path name, I cannot delete the drity files I have found in the HijackThis log. Deleting these files just re-installs the virus under different files.

Here is my current HijackThis log, although it keeps changing as I remove files. I will not proceed for the time being till I get some advice. Thanks ahead of time for all your help guys.
