Help with access after virus problem

I have discovered something very strange.I can sign in to my HSBC account online via my laptop but not on my computer.I had major problems at the weekend with it.Despite more than one complete AVG scan it kept showing up as infected with a virus,that AVG could not delete.It took our computer savvy mate with spybot search and destroy to get rid,and thankfully all is now ok.

However me in my panic also deleted a few tracking cookies.I wonder if that is the problem?I can get on other finance sites,ie AA ,saga,B and B and so on,and input my details there.

Any ideas what i may have done,and what can i do to restore my account log in page.I can acess the first page but not the second.

    Just deleting cookies wouldn't do it. Unless when you removed them you somehow denied permission for them to set again by the site.

    To be honest, with those probs on your main PC, I would stick to using internet banking with the machine you are certain is clean.

    Spybot is ok, but it wouln't do any harm to scan with MalwareBytes - install, update, full scan, fix and post the log here. Then use HijackThis - full scan, don't fix anything, just post the log.

    Right i have discovered it is the data execution prevention that is preventing me opening and logging in.This occurs with HSBC,Barclays and Alliance and Leicester.I have looked at what i can do and it seems there is nothing.Is it better to leave it and use my laptop instead? Why has this suddenly arisen? and does it mean i still have a virus that could attack these specific websites??

    Or use a browser other than IE?

    I would use your laptop for the moment, and run the scans as mentioned on the PC (MalwareBytes and HijackThis). If you have had a recent virus, and it is still doing odd things, I wouldn't even think of going near online banking.
    You need to make sure that the PC is clean before looking at things like DEP, which could just be symptoms of virus activity.
    If you do still have a virus, you also risk infecting your laptop if you are transferring files or networked.

    This might sound extreme, but I would reinstall the OS to ensure that everything is clean.

    Bet your glad you couldn't get onto your online banking now :)

    Hopefully MalwareBytes has cleaned things up, but may be worth scanning again to double check.

    The HijackThis log looked a bit odd at first, but most of the things seem legit.
    There are a couple that could do with checking:

    C:\WINDOWS\mHotkey.exe ..... Do you have Chicony Multimedia Hotkeys

    MDM.EXE and DWTRIG20.EXE are legit MS processes, but I wouldn't expect them to be running normally on startup - I would be interested in another opinion on this.

    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - *{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file) ... This can be removed as it's a remnant of what MalwareBytes cleaned.

    Thank you so much for looking at this.However it STILL has not solved the problem,i cannot log in to my bank,and to Alliance and Leicester.

    On the laptop i have the same AVG 9 that i recently installed. And I am on vista not xp,and no probs.Having said that i have only had the laptop since August ,this computer has been running now for 3 years.

    So what do you recommend i do next? I am not savvy enough to understand what you are asking me about the multimedia hotkeys.And apart from the one you mentioned,do i not need to delete anything else from the Hijack log list?

    am scanning again now.Is it normal to only do the C and E drive,or should i ask it to do all of them?
