agent.ggt and win32.agent.bid

[ecpirates]

I have run Spybot S&D, AVG Antispyware, and AVG Anti-virus. They all find agent.ggt and win32.agent.bid, but I can't seem to remove them permanently.

I have a HijackThis log below, but I cannot run Kaspersky's, or anyone else's online scan, because I'm being 'blocked' through IE.

I have also posted to BleepingComputer.com with this issue.

Help!

Hello,

Mod post...

It is good that you informed us you had also posted at BC, however I think you may have missed this forum's sticky topics. ;)

I have run Spybot S&D, AVG Antispyware, and AVG Anti-virus. They all find agent.ggt and win32.agent.bid, but I can't seem to remove them permanently.

You did not mention that you had also run combofix, not to be taken lightly.

WARNING -THIS MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECOVERY CONSOLE INSTALLED !!Please see:
"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)


Posters who start topics at multiple sites for their PC problem waste valuable volunteer resources, so please don't. Our volunteer helpers assist people at several sites. NOTE:We do NOT ask Users to run fixes before helpers have analyzed HJT/KAV scans (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=16806)

If you decide to wait here for assistance please inform BC, and keep this link as our forum is also very busy. :)
The Waiting Room: Post here if waiting for help longer than four days (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=37)

Best regards.

[ecpirates]

This post was ten days after my BC post and I had forgotten about running ComboFix - Sorry for that.

I have updated my BC post and I am waiting patiently.

hi ecpirates,

i will try to help if you still need it, unless your being helped at BC.

[ecpirates]

There has been a response on BC today too and, because I posted there first, I'll work with them.

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for letting us know, good luck. :)
