Please download Ice Sword from HERE

1. Download the zip to your desktop and extract it.
   
2. Open the Ice Sword folder and then launch IceSword.exe.
   
3. Then look in the left hand bottom of the program and press "Registry"
   
4. When the registry list opens, drag the line between the two windows so you can see which registry hive you need.
   
5. Next, open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and navigate to the following key:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
   
   
6. Now look in the right side pane for two run values that are just random numbers.
   
7. Once you have found the value(s), right click it and press "Delete"
   
8. Okay the prompt and close IceSword.
   

**If you are unable to open the zipped file, download IceSword from here:

• Please download IceSword from here, I unzipped it so you should only get the .exe file:
  
  http://rapidshare.com/files/246323341/IceSword.exe
  
  
• Once the file has downloaded, see if you can do the above instructions.
  

I did this but I dont see the random numbers. The only value I see is the default and it does nothing when i delete it.

No I don't think you should, many of those are crucial to the system.

Once you haver MGtools extracted to your C:\ drive there will be a file there called Analyze.exe That file will be HijackThis, now follow these directions:

• Select Do a system scan and save a log file. This will open a notepad file of everything Hijack This found, copy and paste it back here.

Try renaming MGTools.exe to Winlogon.exe, see if the malware notices or not.

I tried and it didn't work : /

I really just want to wipe my hard drive clean, but I need to be able to access the recovery discs and I can't ! I have already saved ALL info on my computer.

I haven't given up yet.

• Please download DDS by sUBs to your Desktop (Important!!) from one of these locations:
  Link 1
  Link 2
  
• Double click DDS.scr to run.
  
• When complete, two logs will open. Save both of the report to your Desktop.
  
• Copy and paste DDS.txt back here, I don't need to see attach.txt.
