Thank you for any assistance.
Pipas A continues to appear in Spybot scans and I.E. search engines are redirected. I have also run scans with Windows Defender, VirusScan Enterprise, and AdAware SE without eliminating this problem.

OK, let's get you cleaned :)
At first you need to disable a few realtime protections. These may interfere with our cleaning process.
We'll enable these when you're clean...
Disable Windows Defender's realtime protection.
Open Windows Defender
Click on "Tools"
Click on "General Settings"
Scroll down to "Real-time protection options"
Uncheck "Turn on Real-time protection (recommended)"
Click "Save"
Exit the program.
You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.
Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe
Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.
Finally, please post a fresh HijackThis log, along with the contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt
:bigthumb:
Thank you.

Hello again.
I followed your previous instructions to the letter and everything was going well until I tried to delete the file
C:\WINDOWS\System32\{D03E9E15-84B4-4ED9-AB5A-006BF5051E25}.exe
At this point I received a message that the file could not be deleted as it is in use by another person or program.
Please help.
Thank you very much.
BB
Ok we can remove it with a stronger method...
Open HijackThis.
Open the Misc Tools section
Delete a file on Reboot
Copy the following line to the filenamebox and press Open; C:\WINDOWS\System32\{D03E9E15-84B4-4ED9-AB5A-006BF5051E25}.exe
Answer Yes
Reboot the computer if it isn't restarted automatically
Then please continue with the instructions :bigthumb:
Thank you.
Following are the AVG report and the new HijackThis log. I ran the AVG software in normal mode rather than safe mode because I forgot to switch over. Should I run it again in safe mode?

Hi :)
The AVG is fine, no need for a rerun.
How is the pc running ? any issues ?
Download F-Secure Blacklight (http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try_blacklight.html) and save it to your desktop.
Doubleclick blbeta.exe, accept the agreement, click Scan, then click Next
You'll see a list what have been found. A log will appear to your desktop, it is named fsbl.xxxxxxx.log (xxxxxxx will be random numbers).
DON'T choose Rename if something was found!
Post the contents of fsbl.xxxx.log to here (blacklight log from your desktop)
Hello,
Here is the Blacklight log:

The previous problems are gone. I am able to use search engines without being redirected and Spybot is no longer finding the Pipas A file. Everything seems to be working very well and I am extremely grateful for your help. Should I reinstate the active scan settings in the relevant programs?
Thanks,
BB
Ok good, it is looking clean now :)
Yes you may enable the realtime protections.
Now you can clean AVG's Quarantine:
Open AVG Anti-Spyware
Click Infections
Click Quarantine tab
Click Select all
Click Remove finally
Close the program
You can remove the tools we used.
Then you should update your Java to the latest version (6.0) Start
Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs
Delete the old Java, J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.0 (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp).
Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications."
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement."
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Install it
Now you can make your hidden files hidden again.
Go to My Computer
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options
Click the View tab.
Checkmark the "Display the contents of system folders"
Under the Hidden files and folders select "Show hidden files and folders"
Check "Hide protected operating system files"
Click Apply and then the OK and close My Computer.
=============

Clear your system restore (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx)
This will clear the system restore folders from possible malware that was left behind during the cleaning process.
Use ATF Cleaner (http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1)
Download and install ATF Cleaner. Clean your temporary files & folders with it regularly.
Use Ad-Aware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=48)
Download and install Ad-Aware. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
Use AVG Anti-Spyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/)
Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
Use Spybot S&D (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=43)
Download and install Spybot S&D. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
Install SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)
SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
Install MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm)
This prevents your computer from connecting to harmful sites.
Use Firefox browser (http://www.mozilla.org)
Firefox is faster, safer and better browser than Internet Explorer.
Keep your systen up-to-date (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
Visit Windows Update regularly.
Keep your antivirus and firewall up-to-date
Scan your computer regularly with your antivirus.
Read this article by TonyKlein (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=279)
So how did I get infected in the first place?
Stand Up and Be Counted ! (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php)
The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.
Stay clean and be safe ;)
