keep getting the warning from mcafee for generic.dx trojan

Unread postby kevin » March 23rd, 2009, 12:20 am

I think my computer has been infected by a trojan called rootkit.f!rootkit. When this happened, mcafee anti-virus was terminated even after rebooted. The task-manager cannot be enabled and when opening a window explorer, my default browser will open trying to open a malicious website. A simple clicking my computer icon from desktop will open a web-browser trying to open some sites. This resulted in so many web-browser windows opened. A lot of error sound happened at the backgroud. I did a system-restore from previous state. This seems to correct the problem. MCAfee is running now, but every now and then it gives me a warning that a virus has been detected and deleted. Here is the warning:
3/22/2009 11:31:09 PM Deleted NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION\_RESTORE{45E48304-28E2-4CE2-84F2-AC5BB2E6262E}\RP69\A0020090.EXE Generic.dx (Trojan)
3/22/2009 11:31:09 PM Deleted NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\System Volume Information\_restore{45E48304-28E2-4CE2-84F2-AC5BB2E6262E}\RP69\A0020090.exe Generic.dx (Trojan)
It is clear that some other program is running a the background producing this exe.
I send this to mcafee and they direct me to run hijackthis utility. Here is the log from hijackthis. Can someone please help determine what program in the log that generated the above code?
Thank you in advance for looking into this matter.
