I've been trying to remove a trojan from my system for quite awile now. It appeasers to be opening websites at will and I am concerned that it is bringing even more spyware onto my machine and it is really slowing things down. Plus I don't have unlimited downloading capabilities (you can't where I live) and I suspect that it is going to blow my account wide open. It shows up on AVG after a scan and then says it has been cleaned but after I rebott it shows up. It also shows 4 changes in the system32 folder: kernel32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll, and ntoskrnl.dll. I've scanned in Safe mode after scanning in normal and it finds it and removes it but then i reboot and there it is again.
If anyone has any ideas of what it could be I would really appreciate the help. I'll post a HiJackThis log file.
