malware?

[hiker]

ok.. this started with an infection on one of my webites-- several files had been modified with inserted code to run scripts, and the "gifimg.php" file had been inserted in my image directories...

after about three rounds of deleting the gifimg file and replacing the html/php/tpl files that had been modifed, that seems to have been fixed... it's been over 72 hrs now without reinfection.

so that led me to my own computer to see if my site had been infected through my own PC.

first, i tried to do some online scans but found my browser (both IE and Firefox) were blocked from connecting to either Symantec or McAfee.

I was able to connect to TrendMicro and ran their Housecall scan-- got some hits and fixed them.

I ran Adaware and Spybot both, and got some hits and fixed them.

rescanned all and came up clean.

However, I still cannot connect to Symantec or McAfee, nor can i get MalwareBytes to run, so there is still a problem.

Here is my logfile:

Hi hiker,
-----------------------------------------------------------
Remove Programs Using Control Panel
From Start, Settings, Control Panel or Start, Control Panel, click Add/Remove Programs.
Highlight each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, and choose Remove :

Spybot S&D
Logitech desktop Messenger
PowerReg Scheduler V2
Ad-Aware

Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller.
You can re-install Spybot or Ad-Aware after we are done, if you wish.
If the Spybot installer asks whether you want to remove all settings, answer YES.
-----------------------------------------------------------
REBOOT (RESTART) Your Machine
------------------------------------------------
Download and Run Rkill
Please download Rkill from one of the following links and save to your Desktop (if one doesn't run, try another):
One, Two,Three or Four

• Double click on Rkill.
• A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.
• Please leave Rkill on the Desktop until otherwise advised.

Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.
If you cannot get Rkill to run without being stopped, don't proceed further, and post back to tell me about it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and Run MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
Please go here to the Download Location, click on Download.

• After clicking on the download and choosing Save, the "Save to location" dialog will come up.
• Choose Desktop as the location to save the installer and click Save again.
• You should now have a desktop icon named mbam-setup.exe. Double-click it.
• Let it install the program where it wants to, with the default settings, and click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• If necessary, start Malwarebytes Anti-Malware again.
• Once the program is running, select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• If it found any malware items. Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location, and post the contents in your reply.
• The log can also be found using the "Logs" tab in the program. You can click any log listed to open its contents.
• Recent logs are named by time/date stamp in this format : mbam-log-2010-mm-dd(hour-min-sec).txt
• You can now delete the installer icon, named mbam-setup.exe from your desktop.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Retrieve the List of Installed programs Using HJT
Open HijackThis, click Open The Misc Tools Section. Then scroll down the list if you need to, click Open Uninstall Manager and Save List...
The List of installed programs will automatically be saved as uninstall_list.txt in your HiJackThis folder.
In addition, the list opens in Notepad so you can also save as another name in another location if you wish.
Please paste the contents into your next reply.

So we are looking for the log from malwarebytes' Anti-malware, and the Installed Programs list from HJT.
