K, I scanned with AVG. It detected it, deleted the files and locked backup copies in the vault. Are they gonna come back from some hidden source or is everything okay now?

"I guess Hi-jack this logs arent allowed"

It's explained whenever you attempt to post one (you don't have to 'guess')

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true

Please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified.

Please download HJTsetup.exe from this link http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
Continue to click "next" in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the "Select Addition Tasks" dialogue.
Put a check by "Create a desktop icon" then click "Next" again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click "Finish" and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the "Do a system scan and save a logfile" button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log and post it in this thread.

Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.

Run this free online scan from Kaspersky http://kaspersky.com/kos/english/kavwebscan.html

Click Save Report As. Under Save as type:, select Text file. Save this log to your Desktop and post a copy of it here.

HJT Logs are allowed provided they are "requested" (as per #3). At the outset you can always mention that you have a log available.
