Re: HJT Log: "System Security", Vundo, Koobface

Go to start > run and copy and paste next command in the field:
ComboFix /u

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /
Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.

Create a Restore Point (XP ONLY)
•Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
•Select Create a Restore Point and then Next.
•In the box for "Restore point description", enter a descriptive name and press Create
•When the "Restore Point Created" window appears, click Close

Run Disk Cleanup
•Go to Start > Run and type the below line:
cleanmgr
•Click OK
•If you have more than one drive, select the drive Windows is installed on
•Click OK
•When Disk Cleanup opens, select the More Options tab
•In the System Restore section (bottom of window), click Cleanup
•In the confirmation window that opens, click Yes[

Now click on the Disk Cleanup tab and select the following items:
•Downloaded Program Files
•Temporary Internet Files
•Recycle Bin
•Temporary Files
Click OK
in the confirmation window, select Yes (Disk Cleanup will close).

I recommend installing a software firewall. I didn't see one in your HijackThis log (the XP firewall isn't sufficient protection, it only checks incoming data). Two free firewalls are Sunbelt Personal Firewall available from »www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Home-Hom···Firewall, and Zone Alarm available from »www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us···wall.htm. There is a tutorial on understanding firewalls at »www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/···l60.html and and a tutorial from Markus Jansson on setting up ZoneAlarm at »www.markusjansson.net/eza.html. If you install ZoneAlarm (an excellent firewall), I recommend NOT installing the new optional feature Spy Blocker, as it's run by the questionable search engine Ask.com, and doesn't actually block any spyware. You can read more about Ask.com here.
There are several free utilities you can use to help keep malware off your system:

A HOSTS file will prevent Internet Explorer from communicating with sites known to be associated with adware or spyware. A good regularly updated HOST file is MVPS HOSTS File, available at »www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm.

A free non-resident utility to prevent the installation of ActiveX-based malware is JavaCool's SpywareBlaster. For real-time protection, there is SpywareGuard. Both are available at »www.javacoolsoftware.com/products.html.

I recommend reading Tony Klein's article So How did I get Infected in the First Place? at »www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.p···ic=60955

Does your problem appear resolved?
