AVG reports winlogon infected and all efforts have failed including MalwareBytes and Super AntiSpyWare

I uninstalled AVG and installed Kapersky trial. Threats found but have not tried to remove them yet pending some knowledgeable advice. The friend that owns the machine uses uTorrent and I have explained that it isn't a very good idea and is likely the source of her trouble.

Below are the HJT and uninstall logs

Any help appreciated, thanks

Hi cspgsl,

Welcome to the forum.

My nickname is deltalima and I will be helping you with your computer problems.

The logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me.

Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.


Please note the following:
  • I will be working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • If after 3 days you have not responded to this topic, it will be closed, and you will need to start a new one.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.

Thanks deltalima but I have chosen to solve the issue by backing up and reinstalling XP. It seemed as though it would take longer than 30 minutes to fix the problem and it isn't worth the time beyond the half hour. Simpler to start from scratch.

Thanks for the note re: uTorrent. I didn't reinstall it but that doesn't stop the user from doing it herself.
