Malware problem

[Snake5172]

I believe I have followed these steps correctly. So that I dont lose info I am going to be updating this over the next hour or so. I am going to add to this post each time I restart and have performed another step from the FAQ.

Here is the Panda scan.

Hijackthis log..

I have run adaware and spybot multiple times in safe mode. It continually ulls up the same problem.

[Snake5172]

I keep seeing a ihuilexe in the task manager. Three of them as a matter of fact. I have searched google and a few other places and ahve seen no reference to this what so ever?

I am assuming its an issue as I have never seen it before..

[Snake5172]

Now I am seeing 5 svchost in teh Task manager...

Here is what its saying after multiple boots in Safe Mode and using Ad aware, spybot, and ewido...

I will now wait for a response before doing anything further. Thanks in advance.
