    The link that tashi provided does not solve my problem, all it does is chastise me for not reading every sticky and getting the postings of hjt, kas and combo wrong.

    Your post does not solve my problem. All it does is, again, remind me that I got it wrong.

    I have a virus on a computer that seems to be unsolvable other than to reformat the hard drive.

    I would love for someone here to actually try to help me rather than tell me that I didn't post things in the right order. Or, are you saying that because I did, you are unwilling to help???
    I believe the point trying to be made is that you have a topic in the malware forum, and running fixes before someone has assisted you can make things difficult in the long run.

    Sorry for the wait, please keep this link in mind:
    The Waiting Room: Post here if waiting for help longer than four days

    Best regards.

    Spybot reported two .tmp files in the %win%\temp folder on my machine as win32.tiny.abk.

    Are you getting the same file locations on your spybot report?

    If not, perhaps make note of the files reported, and manually delete offline (ie. Windows Recovery CD).
