Strange Goings On II

Tim,

What I did was have you run a Rootkit scanner, this type of infection does not show up on most regular scanners as it hides itself, and this program is one of the best for finding rootkits and it found none.

Why dont you post here in this AVG forum for help with there product, looks like other people are having the same issue

Hi,

Thank you. I'll try the link you sent and see what happens. Thanks for all the help.

Your welcome Tim,

Keep in mind that when you have problems on your system, there not always related to malware, there could be many causes, corrupted programs, missing drivers and even failing hardware and the list goes on.

Take Care,

Ken :)
 
I'm Back

Since your last reply I did some searching and researching. I have ha a program in Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs that I have not been able to uninstall. There just is no Remove button when highlited. It is Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 1.1. In my research at MS I found that this is a developer tool and I do not need or want it but haven't been able to get it to show up on any scans we or I have done.
I was looking for a way to get rid of that get Plus (R) Helper 3004 as I had found that these files are part of Adobe Reader 6.0 install and should delete themselves upon install therefore they shouldn't be there and Adobe says to delete them, whiich I did delete the NOS folder in C:\Program Files where this file resided but get Plus (R) Helper 3004 is running as a service in services and does not allow any option to delete it. While attempting to delete this service with HJT I clicked on Properties for this file in Services and it showed the path to be C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k nosGetPlusHelper. I went looking and in WINDOWS there was no System32 folder, rather a system32 folder. I did not find this file but in my search I looked in the Installer (hidden) folder and found files in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\VJSharp\VJSharpSxS10.dll and VJSWfcHost.dll. These raised my suspicions that I had finally found the elusive MS Visual J# .NET Framework Redistributable Package 1.1 that I want to delete.
After CAREFUL reading I downloaded ComboFix, saved it to Desktop as Combo-Fix and ran it. It turned up the jsharp files. I am sending the ComboFix log for your review. As you will notice these jsharp files are in the long strings.
