Thanks for the HJT log...and it shows nothing. We will need to investigate more. Here is the Google on this item:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Win32.Murlo.ff+&btnG=Google+Search
http://research.sunbelt-software.com/threatdisplay.aspx?name=Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Murlo.ff&threatid=133198
Read all of that information, this one is nasty, it will try to download junk, block any attempts and stay offline as much as possible to deny it internet access.
Can you tell me what program gave you the name and was there more information? Like the location (pathway)?
Since I don't see anything in the log, let's take a look for a hidden rootkit like this:
Please download F-Secure BlackLight Beta:
https://europe.f-secure.com/exclude/blacklight/index.shtml
Save it to its own folder in the Desktop
Double-click blbeta.exe to run the program
Click : Scan
A list of all items found is created
The list is in the BlackLight folder on the Desktop, and named fsbl.xxxxxxx.log (xxxxxxx are numbers).
Please provide the log created by BlackLight in your next reply.
(do not remove anything, most if not all of the files will be valid)
Follow the directions in this link to run AVG Anti-Spyware. Delete or quarantine anything it finds and post the scan rport for me.
http://forums.security-central.us/showthread.php?t=3165
Recap: Post any information you know about the trojan, the log from BlackLight and the scan results from AVG Anti-Spyware.
Thanks...Phil

Thanks, this one bothers bothers me a little:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kxctrl.exe
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=kxctrl.exe&btnG=Google+Search
Creative Labs Sound Card Drivers <<< may be this?
Can you tell me exactly what symptoms you are receiving? Or did you post because of something Spybot found? It could be this is a false positive.
Here is what I would like you to do.
1) Click Start > Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.
2) Now use search to locate that file, make sure it is here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kxctrl.exe
It may not be there, allow enough time, it can take a while for search
to look for the file.
Start > Search > All Files and Folders > copy/paste the file into the box > search.
3) If it finds that file, then use one or mor of these free scanners to scan it and post the information for me:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
4) Gromozon <<< is a very bad rootkit, but before we go any further, I located this information at PCPitStop where Jacee and administrator friend ran into this item,
http://forums.pcpitstop.com/index.php?showtopic=134706&st=0&
Please read all of the information in this post: Jacee 3:39pm Wed Feb 14 2007
Thank you for contacting Sunbelt Software. The Trojan.Gromozon detection
is an erroneous, phantom detection -- meaning that the file lpt4.ago is
not really on your system and that you are not at risk from the Gromozon
Trojan.
The item you are finding is: Win32.Murlo.ff: Settings (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\Ip6Fw\Enum
I am still interested in your symptoms, and the results of the scan of that file if you find it, but in light of this information, contacting Sunbelt Software and asking them about this might be the thing to do.

Thanks
i did this becus spybot detected murlo and my pc can be a litle strange sometimes.
ok the file kxctrl was gone from the system32 folder dident return but i took the file in the kx program folder and put it in the system32 folder.
eSafe 7.0.15.0 05.31.2007 suspicious Trojan/Worm the rest of the av gave clean results.
the gromozon removal tool gave
Gromozon-Related Malicious Code Detected! by gromozon removal tool
and removed.
do you want the file for examenation ?
so the regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\Ip6Fw\Enum
is related to my firewall ?

I am not really sure, the Google is all over for Ip6Fw
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Ip6Fw&btnG=Google+Search
Perhaps the Spybot experts could give you some information? Since it appears that is what is finding it.

Let's do this: System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039?Open&src=sec_doc_nam
AVG Anti-Spyware is a good program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.
Some good information for you:

If you are reading this information...thank a teacher,
If you are reading it in English...thank a soldier.
i ran "virus total" on kxctrl in the program folder just to check if some maleware modified the file in system32 folder and it seams it dident finish propoly last time as more av checked the file esafe flaged it like the other one rest was clean exept for Panda 9.0.0.4 05.31.2007 Suspicious file
the regkey seems to be related to windows ip6 firewall (ip6fw.sys) which is turned off. this site claims ip6fw.sys is malware/bad http://www.castlecops.com/o23list-2666.html
system restore is turned off avg is turned off.
should i ask in the false positive forum ?

You must not have looked at the Google link:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Ip6Fw&btnG=Google+Search
That was why I could not be sure. All I can suggest is that you scan the file and if it looks bad, move it to the recycle bin and let it set there for a week or so. It is easier to return a valid file from the recycle bin than it is to locate the file and download it from online if it turns out it is valid and needed.
Thanks
