    Hi Mithun
    Welcome.

    Please do the following.

    Please re-open HiJackThis and scan only. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

    F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe regsvr.exe

    Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

    Close HJT.

    Open “Notepad” Copy the contents of the code box below to the blank Notepad.
    Click "File" > "Save as "
    In the "Save In" box at the top click the down arrow and select DeskTop

    In the “File name” type in: fix.reg
    In the “Save As Type” select: All Files
    Once saved, Go to your desktop double click “fix.reg file” and let it merge with the registry.

    Code:
    REGEDIT4
    
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{63054843-0337-11dd-8445-000d60fe6c6e}]
    
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{9e882839-4995-11dd-8494-000d60fe6c6e}]
    
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{da496350-4a7d-11dd-8495-000d60fe6c6e}] 

    Please download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop:

    http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe

    NOTE: In the event you already have Flash_Disinfector, this is a new version that I need you to download.

    Hold down the Shift key and insert your flash drive. (USB thumb drives)
    It is important to hold the shift key while plugging in flash drive so the virus does not run and re-infect system.

    • Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it.
      Follow any prompts that may appear.
      Your desktop will vanish for a while, and then reappear. This is normal.
      Wait until the program has finished scanning, then please exit the program.

    Repeat this step if you have more than one flash drives.


    Empty this folder:

    C:\WINDOWS\temp

    Now do this.

    Download ComboFix from Here to your Desktop.

    It's best to disable realtime protection applications as they sometimes interfere with the tool.
    Check this link for any applicable programs you may have.
    • Close all open programs and windows

    Hi
    Yes more logs will be needed, without them I don't know what the tools are doing and what else may need to be done.

    It is always possible when using a extremely powerful tool like Combofix. It is not very likely but it is possible.

    Please explain this.
    What users are you speaking of?
    I would suggest that the person that owns this computer register and follow the steps given if you don't have access to the computer.
