My Mother-in-law's computer has suffered what appears to be a serious infection and I can't for the life of me correct all the symptoms. They had no anti-virus or anti-spyware or firewalls (other than the windows firewall). I have since rectified their lack of protection, but i've closed the fence after the horse has left.

Computer is running Windows XP SP2 & IE 7 & Firefox

Here are the symptoms that I know of:
* Fake virus warning: says the pc is infected with win32.zafi.B
* Spybot S&D 1.6 is installed, but will not run. Hourglass shows up for 2 seconds, then stops. Taskmanager shows that it's running, but no windows ever pop up.
* AdAware runs for 49 seconds, then freezes up the entire computer.
* Installed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but it will not run, either.
* Browser is re-directed (both IE & Firefox) - usually when clicking on links from Google - to random websites.
* Browser is blocked (IE & Firefox) from visiting most any anti-spyware or anti-virus websites (including spybot, mcaffee, or any on-line virus scanner).

The actions I have taken:
* Rebooted into Safe Mode
* Deleted djvlg2072387.exe & kplalk.dll from application files\google
* Ran regedit in SafeMode and removed all references to djvlg2072387
* Ran AVG Anti-virus in Normal Windows mode and removed a dozen virii & spywares.
* Ran AVG Anti-virus in Safe Mode and removed a couple virii.
* Ran smitRem in Safe Mode (nothing was uninstalled).
* Ran fixwareout
* Ran ATF-Cleaner
* Manually cleaned all Temp files and Temp Internet files and cookes.
* Emptied Recycle Bin
* Ran HijackThis (log file is posted below).

Any help is VERY much appreciated.

Thanks!

hi,

anyway you can get a file on a usb flash drive to transfer a file to the computer in question? You should pull the plug on the infected computer or at least make sure it dosnt have network connectivity.

if so we can use combofix. There is a guide you should read first about using combofix. Before you save the file to your computers desktop i would rename it to scanme or something else then save it to the desktop.
Its recommended that the MS recovery console be installed before using combofix, you can download the file like stated in the guide or combofix will attempt to do it for you when you launch it, before a scan if you chose to do so.
in any case post the combofix log in your reply. once the combofix file is transferred to the computers desktop i would reformat the usb drive before removing it.

the guide:
