I have AVG Virus Protection and Zone Alarm Firewall up, dunno how any of this stuff got through, but it sure is beating me up. I downloaded HijackThis and created the following LOG:

[HJT Analyzer]

Hello, visitor!

The Hijack This log analyzer has analyzed your log. Please take a closer look on the results.

Your system seems to be infected with malicious parasites. Please follow the steps below in order to eliminate the infection and clean up your computer.

1. Download the Pocket KillBox utility. You will need it later to delete parasite-related files and folders.
2. The following entries are not malicious, but some of them are not used anymore. You may use HijackThis to fix a few of them. However, please keep in mind that some of the entries marked as Questionable or Not Needed are fully legitimate and might be required by installed software to work properly, while some others might be related to certain parasites. It is up to you to decide whether you need any of them, or not.

4. Use the Pocket KillBox utility to delete the following files:

C:\WINNT\system32\dcomcfg.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\atmclk.exe

The following files and Windows registry entries are marked as "unknown". Currently, the HijackThis Log Analyzer cannot provide required information on these items. The files and entries in the list below can be both malicious and fully legitimate. Because of this, please do not take any action! Wait for the forum responders or other forum users to provide you with necessary details and further instructions.

After going through all the steps, run another HijackThis scan and post a fresh log to the HijackThis analyzer. It is possible that some parasites your system was infected with were not removed completely and may restore themselves later.

ok and i just found out that i need to stop - mzoeut.dll from my "unknown" registry entries. maybe that will solve it.

Ok, I've stopped both notepad.exe processes. The services.exe process could not be stopped. Anyone know what this does? (I thought it was a critical process for some reason)

The last two entries off of my HJT that were questionable, but were the remaining infected files were:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {f7d40011-29bb-43eb-9c97-875ce89e9e36} - C:\WINNT\system32\hp100.tmp
O21 - SSODL: cholecyst - {ee2975b6-e8d5-405e-8448-8fe9590f6cfb} - C:\WINNT\system32\mzoeut.dll (file missing)

My homepage reverts back to normal now. I'm gonna run a few more tools, but I have a good feeling things have cleared up a bit. This site is pretty bad---. Thanks for the help.

... CRAP! My homepage won't save. It doesn't go to any site, but it reverts to the url: about:blank
My Firewall just popped up with a flag, so something must be lurking about somewhere.... grrrr. Here's my logfile:

Hi, triptout. Welcome to the 2-Spyware.com forums!

Please follow these steps:

1. Download the smitRem tool and unpack its files to a chosen folder.

2. Restart your system in Safe Mode. This step is very important!

3. Once in Safe Mode, run the smitRem tool by executing the RunThis.bat file. The smitRem tutorial can be found here.

4. After you get done, restart your computer, run new HijackThis scan and post a fresh log here.
