============================ LOG END =================
Notes on my observations and steps taken so far:
(Please note that I am a software engineer so I may sound like I know what I am doing but I have been frustrated at every step so far--I definitely need expert assistance here; thanks!)
I first observed a problem when WinPatrol gave a new startup program alert for \windows\system32\perutigu.dll, \windows\system32\pomawiha.dll, and \windows\system32\dosaforu.dll. Though I directed WinPatrol to delete them, WinPatrol again reported them on its next check 2 minutes later and every time after.
I then checked SpySweeper and it had started silently logging startup entry warnings for \windows\system32\vufalesi.dll (which you will observe in the hijack log above) with a mention of virtumonde.
I did a System Restore taking my machine two days back to where I thought I was clean but apparently not; the same problem reoccurred. Some time later, unfortunately, my System Restore history was wiped out so I no longer have an option of going further back.
I ran TrendMicro OfficeScan and it reported no problems.
I ran AdAware (which claimed support for virtumonde removal) and it reported no problems.
I ran Spybot and it found 5 virtumonde-related items. Attempting to clean it claimed to clean the registry entries but not the single file reference.
In WinPatrol I do not find any active tasks or services that could be continually regenerating the startup entries so out of sheer perplexity (my inexperience showing here!) I ran Blacklight to check for rootkits but it reported no problems.
In WinPatrol >> Hidden Files I found a dozen files all reported as "first detected" on 12/1/2008 10:40AM. A couple of these matched the popups that WinPatrol had originally complained about and all of them had similarly strange names so I attempted to delete them. The system would not let me however, so I set msconfig to diagnostic mode, rebooted, and then could delete most but not all of them. The one that would not delete is pomawiha.dll. One other note here: there is one file that looks normal in this group (\windows\system32\loginui.exe.manifest) but it did have the same time stamp indicated. Reviewing its contents, though, it certainly seemed innocuous so I left it alone (also because I saw it does exist on a clean, neighboring computer).
