Don't run HJT from the desktop any more. Instead move HijackThis to it's own, permanent folder such as c:\HJT\HijackThis.exe <-----Very important; needed to keep/maintain backups in

Put a check next to these in hijackthis:

THEN WITH ALL OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED ,press "Fix".

Reboot to safe mode (instructions)

Make sure you are set to Show Hidden Files and Folders and delete the following files/folders:-
C:\WINDOWS\qbah.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ujcxez.exe
C:\WINDOWS\tup.exe
C:\WINDOWS\xcdwt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\dulixct.exe
C:\WINDOWS\efohyduj.exe
C:\windows\tmp.0267.exe
You will have to search for the following files with Start>Search>Files and Folders:
RunDll16.exe
Make sure you delete all instances of the files you find.
Delete files/folder from the following directories (But not the directory itself, for example delete all files/folder IN temp; but not temp itself!)

[*]C:\Windows\Temp\

[*]C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\


[*]C:\Documents and Settings\<All other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\

[*]C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ <---This will delete your internet cache--including cookies. This is recommended and strongly suggested.

[*]C:\Documents and Settings\<All other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\

[*]Empty your "Recycle Bin"

Reboot

You'll need to turn off the System Restore. It may have a copy of the virus. This can be done by following the instructions of your OS here.
Run an online virus scan at BitDefender and/or Panda Online. Please note any virus found and report back with new log.
Now you can turn System Resore back on

Check for the new version (1.98.2)of HijkackThis by using Config>Misc Tools>"check for online update" button. If the server is busy or just down you can download it from zerosrealm.

Then Reboot and post a fresh log back to this thread.
