Hi, the virus/trojan on my computer seems to have similar symptoms to others on this forum.
I have the red "X" label on my C Drive and several hundred pos.tmp files.
To fix this problem, I ran Vundofix.exe, HijackThis, and ComboFix as suggested in other posts.
I have both the HijackThis and ComboFix logs saved if they are needed.
Please let me know the next steps! Thanks for all your help!

you might want to try http://housecall.trendmicro.com. I'm not sure which virus it is. You might want to post your logs too just so we can have a look.

Download the "HijackThis" Installer from this link:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/e...
1. Save " HJTInstall.exe" to your desktop.
2. Double click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
3. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
4. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
5.Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
6. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in Notepad.
7. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
8. Paste the log in your next reply.
9. Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.Post Hijackthis Log in your next reply.

Dear TheNerd,
Logs result may changed randomly, So i need fresh Hijackthis log at the time when i require. Because Fresh Hijackthis log may be different than already saved log.

Double click on combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

Post the entire contents of C:\ComboFix.txt into your next reply.Note

That may cause the program to freeze/hang.
Note
In case your Antivirus or any other realtime scanner is displaying an alert after you downloaded Combofix or while you use Combofix,please disable your scanner and redownload Combofix again.
Some scanners may see some combofix related components as suspicious and block or delete them while there's nothing wrong with them.Also post a new Hijackthis log.
