I've been having various problems for some time now that I haven't been able to fix.
(1) Primary issue is that Norton keeps warning me of a downloader virus in Windows\system32. Sometimes its "WMDmon.dll" sometimes its "pmkhhgg.dll". In both instances it states that it cannot be removed. Ewido also finds this and callis it "Downloader.ConHook.aa"
(2) Another issue that I've had for a while is a purple colorded "@" icon in my taskbar that doesn't seem to do anything, but the name of it is "AtHoc toolbar"
(3) Thirdly, IE tends to popup windows to antivirus sites promoting me to buy their antivirus software. Cant recall where exactly its beeing redirected, since I've been using firefox instead for a while.
I followed the directions in the pinned forum topic. Spybot found a few things (including something called AtHoc), all of which I fixed (note I have done this before however). Panda dind't find anything much (log below), and HJT log is below (had to split into 2 posts). All help appreciated! I hope to clean this PC as the next resort would be to re-install XP and start over (ugggh).
