Downloader.Agent.uj - cannot get rid of it.

[hoodlum]

Hi and thanks in advance!
ewido has found this problem. In safe mode I get 3 instances of infections, which cannot be fixed. In safe mode, BitDefender will not run, and Spybot S&D hangs at win32.sober.
My symptoms include being redirected to false pages when clicking on links, unless I type the URL directly into the address bar.
I attach an ewido log and hijack this log.

Ewido log doesn't say much - In normal windows mode I get 15 instances of infection.

I worked out what it was and figured I needed to use Fixwareout.
All traces of the bug have disappeared and ewido was a clean sweep in safe mode. Won't post the logs as I'm reasonably sure i'm infection free.

Have never come across anything like that infection before!

Hi hoodlum
To prevent conflicts uninstall either bitdefender or avg
Post the c:\fixwareout.txt and a new hiajckthis log
