pipas.a/wareout ? help? please?

[Silent Badger]

Hiya guys and girls,

Im brand new to the forums so hope you dont mind me starting off by asking for help? these came to light as my antivirus kept detecting things.

My general symptoms are
Had some problems with my comp for a few days now, mostly things appearing in the "startup" that i know should not be there, to date i've disabled, hgqhp.exe / iehelper.exe / carrida.exe / dialer423 / dtours.exe and dmaen.exe.
The last file appeared in my antivirus too(AVG) as a "reading error" and once id disabled it (in msconfig startup) and restarted my comp, another "thing" appeared called dmvqz.exe which appears in both AVG and my msconfig startup. I assume that there could be a never ending circle of this happening.
All these "things" seem to stem from my system32 folder

Spybot contiually finds a problem called pipas.a, fixes it, but again it reappears after a restart

Panda freescan identified 1 virus (which it fixed) 18 spywares and 3 diallers, but AVG, adaware, or Spybot do not find them, niether can i find the associated paths manually.

Is a startup thing called nwix.exe a possible problem? opinion seems divided on google.

i did a hyjack log thingamajig

Any help would be very much appreiciated as this is doing my head in.
Thanks.

[Silent Badger]

Is there any other info i can provide which might help to shed light on matters?

[Silent Badger]

in other threads this is often given as advice?

"Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...Fixwareout.exe
Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal."

is this safe in my case? i have a bad habit of jumping the gun when it comes to comp fixes and worsening the problem,

Download fixwareout to your desktop,

Please download ewido anti malware it is a free version of the program.

thanks for all this help.

hi

do you have any spyware scanners installed? like spybot, adaware?
i suppose that a scan with those in safe mode should remove all dialers

one line in the log still requires a fix with hiajckthis

fix that line, reboot and post me a new hjt log

Fixed that line, here is the new log..
