Greetings,
A few hours ago my Avast anti-virus launched a bunch of alerts of infected Temporary Internet files (http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/1585/avastlog.jpg) after I visited a now obviously bad website; I kept telling Avast to delete the files while doing ALT-F4 on Internet Explorer.
Knowing the brown matter had already hit the fan, I opened IE again and deleted all cache: Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and even Form Data and Passwords, neither of which I even use. Knowing from a virtumonde infection in the past that this would not be enough I updated the mighty Spybot and allowed it to scan for trouble. It found the two bastards mentioned in the title: Win32.Delf.uv and Hupigon13.
Spybot supposedly fixed the problems, but I knew this type of pest was not that easy to remove and so I used my PC for a few more hours to do what I had to do before rebooting to see the extent of the damage. At first it seemed terrible: Windows would initialize to a point, the desktop would appear, the icons and the task bar aswell, but the task bar was "frozen" and Ctrl+Alt+Del wouldn't open the task manager. I turn the PC off by holding the power button and attempted to boot in Safe-Mode, but that didn't work as I'd just get a blue-screen and then a reboot before Windows even began initializing, and so I booted normally again and decided to wait it out, and after about 10 minutes everything went back to normal, no slow down or anything.
I ran Spybot again and it detected Win32.Delf.uv and Hupigon13 again, and I ordered it to fix once more.
To run HijackThis I had to rename HijackThis.exe to hello.exe for it to open, and then I got an error right as it began to scan:
"an unexpected error has occured at procedure: modRegistry_IniGetString(sFile=system.ini, sSection=boot, sValue=Shell)
Error #5 - Invalid procedure call or argument"
HJT version 2.0.2
I clicked yes on report the error, then got a No Internet Connection Available box with an Ok button, clicked Ok, then the same error above but with (sFile=win.ini, sSection=windows, sValue=load)
They look like this: http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/9968/hjterror.jpg
After that it produced a log, and here it is:

PS.: Teatimer has been off the whole time. And I have backed up the registry with Erunt a few seconds ago.
Ok, by now I know a little better what's going on. I'm not actually "infected" by anything, Avast! seems to have destroyed the invaders early on before they could do extensive damage.
However, something was left over that keeps creating Debugger keys in the registry "Image File Execution Options" with the value "ntsd -d" on a list of programs every time Windows starts. It's relatively harmless, the Windows boot-up simply takes longer as the task bar and task manager (among who knows what else...) remain frozen from 5 to 10 minutes long (even though I can run Spybot, Malwarebytes, etc. from shortcuts or Windows Explorer), but then come back to normal on their own and I can use the computer as usual, no slow downs, redirects, alerts, nothing, and I can remove these keys with Spybot (some keys) or Malwarebytes antimalware (all keys). Besides the debuggers I also get 3 persistent changes to Security Center in the registry (AntiVirusDisableNotify, FirewallDisableNotify, UpdatesDisableNotify).
The other problem is that I cannot boot-up in Safe-mode for some reason, when I try to do so I can see the list of drivers or whatever loading but then I get a very uninformative Blue Screen of Death that reads (translating):
-
A problem was detected and Windows shut down to avoid damage to the computer.
If this is the first time you see this screen reboot. If seen again follow these steps:
Check for virus in the computer. Remove any HDD or HDD controller installed recently. Check the HDD to verify if it's configured and connected properly. Execute CHKDSK /F to verify if the HDD has been corrupted and restart the computer.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF789E524, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
-
A little drastic. Perhaps it's just the boot.ini or some other .ini? Perhaps it's the Rootkit.
Anyway, my problem is basically finding the cause of the debugger keys being created in the registry at every reboot. In looking for it I did the following:
1. Searched for anything suspicious to my untrained eyes in Autoruns. Found digiwet.dll in Windows/System32 and discovered in Google that it was bad. Deleted the file plus its autorun entry on Security Providers.
Then I ran malwarebytes antimalware Quick Scan for the first time, and besides the Debugger keys it also found and deleted "C:\WINDOWS\system32\h@tkeysh@@k.dll (Trojan.Agent)", probably a left over from an infection from the past.
Then Malwarebytes asked for a reboot, for which I complied.
---Reboot---
2. Same symptoms: task bar and manager remain locked for some minutes but then return to normal on their own. The Debuggers and Security Center disabled notify were back.
This time I decided to do a Full Scan with Malwarebytes antimalware, but the only new thing it found were 2 .dlls on System Restore:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{3331B449-BD5D-4804-8D93-10C46EA8D30C}\RP575\A0090274.dll (Trojan.Agent) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{3331B449-BD5D-4804-8D93-10C46EA8D30C}\RP575\A0090275.dll (Trojan.Agent) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
Seeing as this wasn't going anywhere I decided to give Rootalyzer a try, but its Quick Scan found nothing and its Deep Scan only found harmless Unknown ADS entries (downloaded games, basically: Prison Tycoon 4, 18 Wheels Long Haul and Freerealms, all clean and downloaded before the infection).
So I tried turning TeaTimer on hoping it would keep the registry still.
---Reboot with TeaTimer on---
No effect, same symptoms as above, Debuggers (and SC Notify) were back, same slow start-up.
And that's it. This is as far as I can go alone, I don't know how to find the cause of the Debuggers being written into the registry. Here's their list from Malwarebytes log:

A few hours ago my Avast anti-virus launched a bunch of alerts of infected Temporary Internet files (http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/1585/avastlog.jpg) after I visited a now obviously bad website; I kept telling Avast to delete the files while doing ALT-F4 on Internet Explorer.
Knowing the brown matter had already hit the fan, I opened IE again and deleted all cache: Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and even Form Data and Passwords, neither of which I even use. Knowing from a virtumonde infection in the past that this would not be enough I updated the mighty Spybot and allowed it to scan for trouble. It found the two bastards mentioned in the title: Win32.Delf.uv and Hupigon13.
Spybot supposedly fixed the problems, but I knew this type of pest was not that easy to remove and so I used my PC for a few more hours to do what I had to do before rebooting to see the extent of the damage. At first it seemed terrible: Windows would initialize to a point, the desktop would appear, the icons and the task bar aswell, but the task bar was "frozen" and Ctrl+Alt+Del wouldn't open the task manager. I turn the PC off by holding the power button and attempted to boot in Safe-Mode, but that didn't work as I'd just get a blue-screen and then a reboot before Windows even began initializing, and so I booted normally again and decided to wait it out, and after about 10 minutes everything went back to normal, no slow down or anything.
I ran Spybot again and it detected Win32.Delf.uv and Hupigon13 again, and I ordered it to fix once more.
To run HijackThis I had to rename HijackThis.exe to hello.exe for it to open, and then I got an error right as it began to scan:
"an unexpected error has occured at procedure: modRegistry_IniGetString(sFile=system.ini, sSection=boot, sValue=Shell)
Error #5 - Invalid procedure call or argument"
HJT version 2.0.2
I clicked yes on report the error, then got a No Internet Connection Available box with an Ok button, clicked Ok, then the same error above but with (sFile=win.ini, sSection=windows, sValue=load)
They look like this: http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/9968/hjterror.jpg
After that it produced a log, and here it is:

PS.: Teatimer has been off the whole time. And I have backed up the registry with Erunt a few seconds ago.
Ok, by now I know a little better what's going on. I'm not actually "infected" by anything, Avast! seems to have destroyed the invaders early on before they could do extensive damage.
However, something was left over that keeps creating Debugger keys in the registry "Image File Execution Options" with the value "ntsd -d" on a list of programs every time Windows starts. It's relatively harmless, the Windows boot-up simply takes longer as the task bar and task manager (among who knows what else...) remain frozen from 5 to 10 minutes long (even though I can run Spybot, Malwarebytes, etc. from shortcuts or Windows Explorer), but then come back to normal on their own and I can use the computer as usual, no slow downs, redirects, alerts, nothing, and I can remove these keys with Spybot (some keys) or Malwarebytes antimalware (all keys). Besides the debuggers I also get 3 persistent changes to Security Center in the registry (AntiVirusDisableNotify, FirewallDisableNotify, UpdatesDisableNotify).
The other problem is that I cannot boot-up in Safe-mode for some reason, when I try to do so I can see the list of drivers or whatever loading but then I get a very uninformative Blue Screen of Death that reads (translating):
-
A problem was detected and Windows shut down to avoid damage to the computer.
If this is the first time you see this screen reboot. If seen again follow these steps:
Check for virus in the computer. Remove any HDD or HDD controller installed recently. Check the HDD to verify if it's configured and connected properly. Execute CHKDSK /F to verify if the HDD has been corrupted and restart the computer.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF789E524, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
-
A little drastic. Perhaps it's just the boot.ini or some other .ini? Perhaps it's the Rootkit.
Anyway, my problem is basically finding the cause of the debugger keys being created in the registry at every reboot. In looking for it I did the following:
1. Searched for anything suspicious to my untrained eyes in Autoruns. Found digiwet.dll in Windows/System32 and discovered in Google that it was bad. Deleted the file plus its autorun entry on Security Providers.
Then I ran malwarebytes antimalware Quick Scan for the first time, and besides the Debugger keys it also found and deleted "C:\WINDOWS\system32\h@tkeysh@@k.dll (Trojan.Agent)", probably a left over from an infection from the past.
Then Malwarebytes asked for a reboot, for which I complied.
---Reboot---
2. Same symptoms: task bar and manager remain locked for some minutes but then return to normal on their own. The Debuggers and Security Center disabled notify were back.
This time I decided to do a Full Scan with Malwarebytes antimalware, but the only new thing it found were 2 .dlls on System Restore:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{3331B449-BD5D-4804-8D93-10C46EA8D30C}\RP575\A0090274.dll (Trojan.Agent) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{3331B449-BD5D-4804-8D93-10C46EA8D30C}\RP575\A0090275.dll (Trojan.Agent) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
Seeing as this wasn't going anywhere I decided to give Rootalyzer a try, but its Quick Scan found nothing and its Deep Scan only found harmless Unknown ADS entries (downloaded games, basically: Prison Tycoon 4, 18 Wheels Long Haul and Freerealms, all clean and downloaded before the infection).
So I tried turning TeaTimer on hoping it would keep the registry still.
---Reboot with TeaTimer on---
No effect, same symptoms as above, Debuggers (and SC Notify) were back, same slow start-up.
And that's it. This is as far as I can go alone, I don't know how to find the cause of the Debuggers being written into the registry. Here's their list from Malwarebytes log:
