I recently started using Kaspersky 6.0 to get rid of my unwanted viruses. And while I 've scanned my entire computer, I persistently find several viruses each time I reboot (trojan.win32.bho.q, not-a-virus:adware.win32.virtumonde.hb, and others). I have followed the instructions to scan in the safe mode and now the proactive defense has detected and blocked over 4000 events of an invader and is still going after two hours. Should I continue this process or do I need to proceed to a rescue disk to perform the scan?

detected: riskware Invader Running process: C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe


C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe Process C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe (PID: 868) is attempting to invade process C:\WINNT\explorer.exe (PID: 3092). This behaviour is typical of some malware.
C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe Attempt to terminate process

Thanks.

please send the follwoing files for analasys:

C:\WINNT\System32\psc_mon.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\geedd.dll

http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=13881

afterwards try to rename them to .old (psc_mon.old & geedd.old), use unlocker if you are unsuccessfull: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

delete the folder C:\Program Files\Web Buying

then open hijackthis again, choose do a scan only and check the following items:

close all the windows except the hjt window and press fix checked

afterwards download superantispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/ install & update it and perform a scan with it in safe mode & clean what it finds.

then post a fresh log.

I tried accessing the two files
C:\WINNT\System32\psc_mon.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\geedd.dll


However, when I ran the Kaspersky Online Scanner, it did not detect either of these two files and the quarantine section of Kaspersky 6 didn't have any files either. Should I go ahead with the next step and delete the folder C:\Program Files\Web Buying?

Send those files to newvirus@kaspersky.com , preferably in a password protected ZIP or RAR file, write a short description and of course put the archive password.

Please note:
The best type of archive to send a virus to KL is ZIP
The best password - is "infected"

Thanks!

I could not find these two files.
