I read through some more information on the site and realized I had ran some additional scans even though warned against running them. Here's what I did thus far (which is reflective to the original log I posted in my OP):

1. Installed and ran the ComboFix application
- This deleted the 5 files that I had determined were suspect (all weird name .DLLs).
- Log posted at the bottom of this post.

2. Ran HiJackThis and posted the log (my OP).

3. Installed and ran Spybot S&D which found an additional Reg entry in my registry which was related to the Virtumond trojan. I got rid of it.

4. I just ran a full Kaspersky scan. Here's the additional Kaspersky log:
- It appears that it found some Trojan activity in my Inbox & Sent Items mailboxes.

The selected area was scanned.



Overall I still feel that I have the Virtumond trojan because everytime I load an Internet page it tells me it was Done, but with errors on page. My apologies for going outside of the guided help route.

If you are still having malware issues, post a new HijackThis log and tell me what they are. If you are receiving any error messages, post them word for word.

Thanks
 
To be honest, I haven't seen any symptoms since I ran the Combofix & Spyware S&D, outside of that error message in IE which states that my pages were loaded but with errors on page (the yellow exlamation point in the bottom left hand corner of IE). Here's the error text I get when double clicking the icon:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
URL: http://forums.spybot.info/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=266994


However, I just get this feeling that something isn't right. I think at the least I'd like to take some preventative steps to perform additional scans to get rid of any further traces of Virtumonde. I don't feel comfortable using this laptop for any financial transaction type functions since this happened.

I launched & ran the HJT system scan. Here are the results. There is a suspect wuauclt.exe running (in bold). If it helps any, I still have my original HJT log saved... the one before I ran any fixes.

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback. We will look at little, stating with the error:

I suggest you update Internet Explorer to IE7 to see if that stops the error.

Thanks
 
1. IE7 install
- I'm not a big fan of IE7, so I'm sticking with IE6 as long as I can. I can live with the error. I thought the error might have been related to virtumonde in some way, but it sounds like it's not.

2. E-mail file delete
- Is there a way to scan the mail .dbx files and remove only the trojan infected e-mails? I don't want to delete my entire mailbox history.

3. Viewpoint Media Player uninstall
- This is done. Thanks for pointing that out. I've been pretty annoyed at the periodic "Your viewpoint has been updated" message. I guess AIM packages it withing their install package.

4. Malwarebytes install/scan
- This is done. During the scan I encountered a drastic slow-down which is why it took so long to scan. Symptoms were CPU cycle spikes, and when viewing the Windows Task Manager, the Proceses would blink non-stop. System Idle seemed to have the highest CPU usage, so not sure why the slow down. I experienced a similar symptom while the computer was still infected. Here are the updated Malware & HJT logs:

1) It's your computer, Internet Explorer 8 is released in beta and IE7 is more secure that IE6.

2) Not that I know of, but I have not used OE for many years.

Hard to troubleshoot the issues you are having, are there any error message you can post?

Let's do this:

Remove combofix from the computer like this:

Click START then RUN
Now type or copy Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

Clean the System Restore files like this:

Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot

Turn ON System Restore,
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Update MBAM and scan to be sure we missed none of the junk, there is no need to post a clean scan result.

Update the antivirus and scan the system, to be sure it is running right and scanning clean.

When you get to that point, please run the free diagnostic here:
http://www.pcpitstop.com/
Run the "Full Test" you will need to register free, post a link to the results so I can view them.

You can also look at this information to help you troubleshoot the high CPU usage: http://kadaitcha.cx/high_cpu.html

I'm posting this reply for documentation purposes only. I started going through my uninstall process of Java and got that "CPU thief" thing again. PC got really sluggish, and I couldn't really pinpoint what was taking up all the CPU power. Well finally had to end the Java Uninstall because it was taking wayyyy too long, and tried restarting. I got the blue screen:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damange to your computer.

The problem seems to be cause by the following file: nv4_disp

If this is the firrst time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.

Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x000000EA (0x8A2E6Da8,0x8A4F2008,0xB79B8CBC,0x00000001)

nv4_disp
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrato or technical suppoer group for further assistance.
 
Out of date drivers can cause all kinds of programs, as you will see in the troubleshooting information I provided. The diagnostic I suggested may show the issue also? The Nvidia graphics adapter is likely the culprint, here is some information that might help you.

Hope that helps:santa:
 
Alright, here we go. It took me a little while to go through everything with the really slow PC response in the beginning:

1. Adobe out of date
- I uninstalled Adobe and installed Foxit 3.0 instead.
- I also wound up uninstalling some other old programs that I use, and most likely have updated, but wanted to get rid of them and install fresh:
a) DivX players/codes etc..
b) Adobe Flash 10x
c) Rhapsody Player

2. Java
- Uninstalled old Java using the instructions provided.
- Installed Java 6 u11

3. Spybot s&D
- Updated, scanned one more time (nothing found) & Performed Immunization with Spybot. I got the sluggish issue again. In the middle of the S&D scan, it got realllly slow, and then it continued to work without issues. Not sure what's going on.
- I ran a Disk Cleanup before I did the Immunization. Got rid of everything.

4. Error messages
- Nope. I don't get any error messages. The computer just starts running reallllly slow.

5. ComboFix
- Uninstalled.

6. System Restore
- Followed the instructions to clear it out. Computer went into sluggish mode after reboot. It took about 3 minutes to try and turn on System Restore... I eventually got an error saying "System Restore encountered an error tryin gto enable/disable on or more drives. Please restart your mmachine an dtry again.(so I did).
- Attempted to restart and it took a loooong time. Even the Bios boot took a while. Eventually it felt like the computer hung up so I shut it down for the night. Tried again the next day, and it booted up like a champ.

7. Malwarebytes scan
- Updated & Scanned. No infections found. Scan went through rather quickly. No sluggish performance.

8. Anti-Virus
- Updated & Scanned (no sluggishness during scan). Detected Adware_MemWatcher -> C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts\127.0.0.1. This must have been recently updated because I scanned my computer many times in the past few days, and this wasn't detected. I attempted to remove it using the following instructions, but I did not find those registry keys:
Removing Other Malware Entries from the Registry

1. Open Registry Editor. Click Start>Run, type REGEDIT, then press Enter.
2. In the left panel, double-click the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Internet Explorer>Main

3. In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:

Search Bar = "file://%System%\Searchx.htm"
Use Custom Search URL = "1"

4. Close Registry Editor.
Important Windows ME/XP Cleaning Instructions

Users running Windows ME and XP must disable System Restore to allow full scanning of infected computers.

Users running other Windows versions can proceed with the succeeding solution set(s).

Running Trend Micro Antivirus

If you are currently running in safe mode, please restart your computer normally before performing the following solution.

Download and unzip the latest spyware pattern file and scan your computers. Then, delete all files detected as ADWARE_MEMWATCHER, ADW_IEHOST, and ADW_URLSPY.

*NOTE: If the above manual removal instructions fail to eliminate this grayware, close all Internet Explorer windows, and perform the solution again.


- I turned off System Restore, restarted and ran a full Scan again with my Anti-Virus program. No infections found, and no sluggishness during scan.
- Turned System Restore back on, and restarted.

9. PC Pitstop
- Ran the full test in Expert mode -> http://www.pcpitstop.com/betapit/sec.asp?conid=21417286

10. High CPU Usage website
- I didn't get a chance to review the information you provided yet... there's a lot. I noticed that sluggishness went away when I kept my PC on-line during scans. It's when I was taking it off-line that the sluggishness occurred. I haven't had a chance to test this yet by doing a scan off-line, but some food for thought.

11. NVidia drivers
- When checking the Dell support website, I do have the latest drivers for my video card. I think I tried installing non-Dell drivers in the past (or simply couldn't find them) but it didn't work. I haven't gotten a chance to look into the nVidia forums just yet.

12. Scanning OE Mailbox files
- If you do come across a program which will allow me to do this, definitely let me know. I'm very reluctant to delete my entier mailbox files.





Alright, I know I provided a lot of information here, so take your time chewing it over :) Appreciate your help.

I am sorry, I believe I helped remove the malware and that your issues are not malware related. I have already posted links to where I believe you can get help and I wish I had the time to respond to this information dealing with other issues than malware.

I wish you safe surfing and Happy Holidays:santa:

Alright, no problem. I'll go through the other information you provided when I get home from work today and post up an update on what I did.

I have 1 more thing - Did you get a chance to review my PC Pitstop results? Not sure if you were looking for anything in particular, or just want me to follow the advice they provided in making any necessary adjustments.

Again, if you get wind of any mailbox file scanners, do let me know. :D
 
Alright, here's my final note:

1. TCP Pocket size
- I changed this to the recommended value by PCPitStop, but it yielded bad results. Changed it back.

2. Network drivers
- The drivers for my Network Card & Modem are already the latest out there. Not sure why PCPitStop didn't see this.

3. I ran a System File Checker
- I didn't get any report whether any files had to be replaced, so I'm thinking it's a good thing.

4. Defrag
- I defragged the drive, but it's still at 22% defragmented because the Windows one can't move some files. I neglected to do this consistently so I'm to blame.

5. 100% CPU Utilization
- I looked through all the scenarios listed in the 100% webpage, but none of them fit me. I'm not getting the 100% CPU anymore, and no sluggishness, even during scans. So it would appear that's gone away as well.

6. Virus scan
- I ran another virus scan and found no infections.


PSkelly - Thanks for your help with everything. I usually don't need help when it comes to computers, but this time no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of this bug. You da man! Merry Christmas :santa:
 
4. Defrag
- I defragged the drive, but it's still at 22% defragmented because the Windows one can't move some files. I neglected to do this consistently so I'm to blame.
Defrag in safe mode when nothing is running.

If you have not checked your hard disks for errors in a long time:
http://www.updatexp.com/windows-xp-chkdsk.html
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/kbtip.mspx

This can take a while and the computer can not be used while it happens. I find it is best to set it up at night and let it run when I first boot in the AM. That way it is finished by the time I have had breakfast, it will take an hour or more depending on how bad the disk is.
 
I tried a few times, but wasn't able to get Defrag to run in Safe mode. It would just hang at 3% and never move anywhere from there. I came to the decision of actually reformatting it and loading everything from scratch. I have a feeling that I might have a hardware problem with either my RAM or HardDrive because I've never had my laptop heat up as much as it has since I got infected.

I've ran more scans over and over again, and did not detect any more viruses, trojans, etc... so I'm kind of at a loss regarding these sluggish periods my computer is going through, so the only true test will be to reformat it. I was thinking of trying out XP SP3, but I can't imagine that will solve any problems, but I will go straight to SP3 upon my re-install and start using IE7.
 
Idz21 wanted all to know how this was resolved in case it can help another member or helpers...thanks to this member.

From a private message this member sent me:

Update on my case

Hey, I wanted to provide an update on my case (Thread here -> http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=41190), in the event that you wanted to update my thread so that anyone searching for similar issues will be able to read about my resolution. My 100% CPU usage turned out to be a bad CPU. My laptop was overheating because the heatsink got so clogged up with dust that no air could get through anymore, effectively overheating my CPU to the point of failure.

I had a Dell tech come out and replace both the CPU & Fan/heatsink and am now back in action. Thankfully I was still under warranty so the whole thing merely cost me the $20 I gave him as a tip. I did also bite the bullet and installed SP3 & IE7.

Thanks again for all your help.
