Hello all at malwareremoval forum

I am having trouble with my Windows 7 instalation on my PC.

I think it is malware related. I have used many Online scanners including Eset. Trendmicro Housecall. Bitdefender.
I have also ran numerous Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Scans using Spybot Search and Destroy. Malwarebytes. Superantispyware, Windows defender. None of these found anything at all in any of their scans including. Safe Mode scans I performed.
I always keep any security software I have installed up to date too.

On my system I have Norton Internet Security as my main security software. I use this as my real time scanner. So I never have any other AV or anti-spware real time scanners running at the time. Because i understand the issues this can cause. I use any other anti malware scanners I use as on demand scans. I shut them down after using them. Apart from Norton.

The two main reasons that are causing me concern are:

I use Rapport Trusteer as an extra password and anti keylogger device on my PC. Most of the major UK Banks recommend installing it. and Royal Bank of Scotland offer the download link on their site.
But every time I restart windows 7. I have to manually start Trusteer. I have checked that it is set to auto start in win7 services. and it is. So it should be starting automatically at win7 bootup.
According to Rapport Trusteer web site. Trusteer is fully compatible with most major security software including Norton IS 2011. It has been working absolutely fine up until recently.
I think some sort of malware that I cannot find that is causing Trusteer to stop working correctly.
I have un-installed and reinstalled trusteer. but it has not fixed it.

I also am having issues with typing anything including passwords, this thread and any input text on web sites including this one. The cursor moves around erratically and messes up what I type. I constantly have to correct my written text because of this.
For example. I am typing at this point in this thread. but I have to keep a keen eye on the position of my cursor because it can shoot of to a different point in this thread (further up) and mess up an earlier paragraph I have already typed. I have also reinstalled my specific Keyboard/Input Drivers. This too did not fix this problem. I also think this maybe malware.

I also have a slight delay when I type anything. This also happens when I log into windows 7, and type in my user name password.
This is another main reason I think there may be some sort of keylogging malware on my PC.

I use World of Warcraft. So I am pretty worried that somebody is trying to steal my account. by trying to steal my password.

Can I please have some assistance in making sure my PC is safe from any dangerous, especially hidden malware I am unable to find using standard methods.

Thanks in advance

Okay I have noticed something unusual straight off.
after reviewing the HJT Un-install list I created.
I can see that it shows there are a few entries that are Not installed on my system.

These are:

Windows Live Communications Platform
Windows Live Movie Maker
Windows Live Photo Gallery
Windows Live Writer
Virgin Media Chat Extension 2.0.23

These are not installed on my PC. these entries also DO NOT show up in Revo Uninstaller or
in my Control Panel-Program and features.

So there is no option for me to uninstall these programs

I ran A program called Rkill that I downloaded from bleepingcomputers.com

and it gave me an interesting log file scan results

here it is:

This log file is located at C:\rkill.log.
Please post this only if requested to by the person helping you.
Otherwise you can close this log when you wish.
Ran as Mark on 05/11/2010 at 18:07:48.


Services Stopped:


Processes terminated by Rkill or while it was running:


C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\77V1CKER.7GZ\TRHAPEWH.L37\curs..tion_eee711038731a406_0004.0000_1829574f2226d088\CurseClient.exe
C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe
C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe
C:\Users\Mark\Desktop\rkill.com


Rkill completed on 05/11/2010 at 18:07:57.

I sue Curse Client as the main World of warcraft addon installer and manager. it is used to add and remove any addons I use for WoW.
I am not sure why Rkill see's it as malware. can you clarify any about this.

It is the last few entries on the Rkill scan results that worry me
These entries:

C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe
C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe

After some extensive searching online it seems that these are WORM related. am I right to think this ?

I posted the Rkill results because I am trying to make the finding the malware on my easier.

Would you agree that there is a worm malware on my system. if there is. How can I fully clean it ?
