Hello, my computer just got infected with a tough piece of spyware yesterday.

I am running Windows XP SP2.

Here are the steps I have tried so far: I have downloaded the latest version of spybot search and destroy and run it. It erases everything it can, but several pieces of spyware regenerate.

I have run Hijack this. This is the log I get:

Also, I note that my system resources are getting sucked up. The CPU is always running, and the windows pagefile just grows and grows. Currenty I have ie, notepad, and hijack this on, and its up to 1.85 GB

I notice that MichaelM22 has a similar log and a similar compaint of a slow computer.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

If you dont have an anti virus program get one fro mhere install and have it scan daily .
http://forums.techguy.org/t110854.html

Then Download SpyBot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware SE UPDATE both and do a scan with each geting rid of all they find

Do a scan with Housecall and Panda

Thanks so much for your help. I installed Symantec Antivirus, then ran Ad Aware SE multiple times in a row while disconnected from the internet, erased some dlls from the day in question, ran spybot, and finally, finally my system is back to normal.

Thanks again!
