I reposted this.. because appearantly I'm not supposed to post my hjt .log without being asked.. so now??

To my knowledge.. I have a virus infecting my temp folder. I also run Avast! Anti-virus and I've been getting a lot of trojans in my sys32 folder.. which I'm sure isn't good. I have no idea how to get rid of them, I don't know if it's safe to delete them or not. Also.. my computer will sometimes randomly shut down.. it will make a cd skipping sort of noise and the screen will go black and it will restart, now I'm not sure if this is caused by a virus or not.. but I know that it isn't supposed to do this. I do have my HiJack .log if someone would like to ASK me to post it..

sorry, rules are rules I guess. Try all the FREE cleaners found in my link and if you still have problems, you may have to turn off system restore and rescan as those pests love hiding in there.

If still no joy, try this free active-x scan:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php
and remove all it finds.
If the scan stalls, no worries....give it time to load up because it will.

If you still have problems, do like the warning said when you tried posting your HJT log....paste the results into:
http://hijackthis.de/
and google the questionable objects to see if they are safe to remove.
Hope That Helps

Also, use the CCleaner and ATF cleaner before the scans, really speeds things up so the scanners don't pick up thousands of cookies. That's what makes scans last so long, all the excess junk that's been plugging up the pc.
