    I've skimmed through some other threads and it seems like this problem can only be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. I've been having this problem for a week or two now, and it's rather frustrating. Some help would be much appreciated :)

    I've run the HijackThis program like other users have advised others to do, and here is the report:

    Wow, AVG missed all of the following infected files.

    C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe
    C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\mcagent.exe
    C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\VSO\mcmnhdlr.exe
    C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\VSO\mcvsshld.exe
    C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\VSO\oasclnt.exe
    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe
    C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\Detector\CTDetect.exe
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_01\bin\jusched.exe

    Please create a new zip file, then place a copy of each of the above files into it and submit it to the following link.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/submit-malware.php?channel=22

    Then check the processes tab of Task Manager to see if any of the above files are running. End Process on them if they are. Now go to each of the above directories and delete the file. You will find a bak folder in each directory that contains the original file(s). Copy (do not move or cut) those files from the bak folder into the original directory, effectively replacing the rogues you just deleted. If there are files other than the ones listed above in the bak folders, do nothing with them just yet.

    If there is an Instant Access icon on the desktop delete it.
    If there is an AxFreePorn connection in your network connections, delete it.

    Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune and save it to your Desktop.

    http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1

    Double click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    Check the boxes to the left of:

    Windows Temp
    Current User Temp
    All Users Temp
    Temporary Internet Files
    Prefetch
    Java Cache
    Recycle bin


    The rest are optional - if you want it to remove everything it can, check "Select All ".
    Finally, click Empty Selected. When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.

    If you use the Firefox or Opera browsers, you can use this program to clean out their temporary files as well.

    When you have finished, click on the Exit button in the Main menu.

    Reboot.

    Run FindAWF again and post the log, along with a new HijackThis log.

    Well done! Thank you for the files. :)
    Just a few more to do. Copy the following files from the bak folders to their original folders (up 1 directory).

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak\hkcmd.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak\igfxtray.exe
    C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Core\bak\smax4pnp.exe
    C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\bak\mcupdate.exe

    Once done, you can delete all of the bak folders and their contents.

    Scan again with HijackThis and place a check next to the following entries, close all other window and click Fix Checked.

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
    O20 - AppInit_DLLs:

    Reboot and post 1 more fresh HijackThis log.

    Looks good. Is your computer behaving properly now?

    You should open the Java applet in the control panel and check for updates. Once updated, remove the older version (all old versions) from add/remove programs.
