...yes I have been infected as well. When I ran spybot for the first time, it caught a bunch of problems and I removed them. I ran it again, and those caught the first time were not caught again. I also ran Ad-aware before I ran spybot, and my computer would restart 3-5sec into the scan, which lled me to believe I was infected by something. I ran it again after the 2nd SD run and my computer still restarts.

I have ran the Kaspersky online scan, but I was not able to update:

Downloading remote file: soft.ver
Update process FAILED. No further antivirus actions can be performed!

I am able to provide a HJT log:

Currently, I am installing AVG, one of the free anti-viruses provided.

It looks like you have this infection: http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-052710-0541-99&tabid=1

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud? (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10451)

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063)

However, if you do not have the resources to reinstall your computer and would like me to attempt to clean it, I will be happy to do so.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post.

Thanks for the information! I would first like to attempt to clean, and if that is not possible, then I will reformat.

Also, would a reformat clean the computer and remove any possibility of the Trojan returning?

A reformat will clear all the traces of the trojan from your PC.

It is always possible to get reinfected.

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) (http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/Deckard/dss.exe) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.

Close all applications and windows.
Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and the extra.txt to your post. in your reply
