============= FINISH: 19:15:19.90 ===============
I should also note that I rarely get viruses/adware and am usually one of the people to call to get rid of them, but it doesn't seem to work with this. I constantly have SD Resident running as well as avast, but I guess this one slipped through.
I've ran quite a few other programs to try to fix the problem, but none of them find much. Here's what each found:
avast: found nothing
ad-aware: found nothing but suggested my mirc as low level spyware
spybot: suggested megaupload and coupons toolbar as possible adware
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: found and deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinServers (Malware.Trace) and C:\Users\KJI\Local Settings\Application Data\Windows Server\admin.txt (Malware.Trace) the first time, then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinServers (Malware.Trace)and C:\Program Files\Last.fm\killer.exe (Worm.Koobface) the second time
SUPERAntiSpyware: found nothing)
combofix: only found/fixed c:\windows\System32\wininit.exe
hijackthis: didn't see anything particularly suspicious, removed some unneeded entries
currently hlp.dat is located in my c:\windows\system32 and is supposedly in use by winnit.exe
Thanks
I should also mention that I've got a few java update notices recently and usually just press yes, but after reading that it could be due to a java exploit checked and found my version was still pretty old... just uninstalled and installed the new version recently to make sure.
Here is the dds log:

I should also note that I rarely get viruses/adware and am usually one of the people to call to get rid of them, but it doesn't seem to work with this. I constantly have SD Resident running as well as avast, but I guess this one slipped through.
I've ran quite a few other programs to try to fix the problem, but none of them find much. Here's what each found:
avast: found nothing
ad-aware: found nothing but suggested my mirc as low level spyware
spybot: suggested megaupload and coupons toolbar as possible adware
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: found and deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinServers (Malware.Trace) and C:\Users\KJI\Local Settings\Application Data\Windows Server\admin.txt (Malware.Trace) the first time, then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinServers (Malware.Trace)and C:\Program Files\Last.fm\killer.exe (Worm.Koobface) the second time
SUPERAntiSpyware: found nothing)
combofix: only found/fixed c:\windows\System32\wininit.exe
hijackthis: didn't see anything particularly suspicious, removed some unneeded entries
currently hlp.dat is located in my c:\windows\system32 and is supposedly in use by winnit.exe
Thanks
I should also mention that I've got a few java update notices recently and usually just press yes, but after reading that it could be due to a java exploit checked and found my version was still pretty old... just uninstalled and installed the new version recently to make sure.
