I have been on here a few times before, and you guys have been a lot of help, but I just cant seem to get rid of this problem. A while back I posted a thread about my desktop turning black, and getting a message that stated that I may have a fraudulent copy of windows. The helper I spoke with told me everything looked fine, and he could see no reason why my copy of windows was fraudulent. I followed up with microsoft, and evertything checked out with them as well. Now, several months later, the computer has started acting up pretty bad. Running slow, freezing, etc. Additionaly, there is a lot of HD activity when there shouldnt be, as well as a lot of network activity. I cant update Spybot or AVG. When I try to, I get an error message that says the file does not exist. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the HJT log.

Hello jsmitty.
Okay sounds interesting. Let's run one scan first :)

Run Kaspersky Online AV Scanner

Right click on your favourite web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) and select Run As Administrator to run it.

Go to Kaspersky website (http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/default/kavwebscan.html) and perform an online antivirus scan.

Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button: Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
Archives
Mail databases Click on My Computer under Scan and then put the kettle on!
Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town until yesterday. I will run the scan now, and post results ASAP.

Ok, So I have tried running the scan sveral times but it will not post a report upon completion, and when I try to save the report, it posts an error message saying that it can't be saved to that location.

Furthermore, when spybot runs, Vitumonde comes up now as an infection.

Okey let's try something else then...

Download gmer.zip (http://gmer.net/gmer.zip) and save to your desktop.
alternate download site (http://hype.free.googlepages.com/gmer.zip)

Unzip/extract the file to its own folder. (Click here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial105.html) for information on how to do this if not sure. Win 2000 users click here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial106.html).
When you have done this, disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
There is a small chance this application may crash your computer so save any work you have open.
Double-click on Gmer.exe to start the program.
Allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
If it gives you a warning at program start about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a scan...click NO.
Run Gmer again and click on the Rootkit tab.
Look at the right hand side (under Files) and uncheck all drives with the exception of your C drive.
Make sure all other boxes on the right of the screen are checked, EXCEPT for "Show All".
Click on the "Scan" and wait for the scan to finish.
Note: Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while this scan completes. Also do not use your computer during the scan.
When completed, click on the Copy button and right-click on your Desktop, choose "New" > Text document. Once the file is created, open it and right-click again and choose Paste or Ctrl+V. Save the file as gmer.txt and copy the information in your next reply.
Note: If you have any problems, try running GMER in SAFE MODE (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html)"
Important! Please do not select the "Show all" checkbox during the scan..
