Update on my problem and what i have done ...
this is about as far as i can go
So here is what i have done.
Ran spybot search and destroy it found 2 problems vanbot and coolwwwsearch.oldhelp
I deleted them.
I removed all p2p programs.
ran ccleaner
ran atf cleaner
then booted into safe mode and ran avg
then started computer and ran hijackthis
Ran spybot s/d again and it found nothing,
I can tell you i have a file called twzhmy.exe that i saw causing a few errors a couple of days ago.
I now see it trying to access the reg everytime i reboot but i block it with spybot s/d
Not sure what this file is , i did a search for it and found it here:
WINDOWS/system32
WINDOWS/prefetch
and also in temporary internet files.
I also noticed when i did control alt delete in look at the processes running i doesnt show the names of the process anymore.
So i have saved the results form avg , and hijack this .
I would really appricate any help and large donation will be sent.
thanks
jamie
