    if hjt doesn't work, try autoruns, it does a similar thing. Did you run the bitdefender scan in safe mode?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    hi guys iom back round me mums at the moment, the autoruns link that Albertross gave runs and it throws up a backdoor.delf.hbi which has been detected by 8 bit defender, located in three files but given the file name it looks like there made up one :rolleyes:

    Going to try and get HJT to run on the computer so cross fingers :)

    have you tried deleting the 3 files you found while in safe mode ??

    are they DLL's or exe's ??

    there .dll's there the ones that are listed in post 30 mate :)

    Ive just run the autoruns that albertross recommended to run and i saw them in there so ive deleted in that program in safe mode.

    Although i then tried to run HJT again and it wouldnt let it just kept on stopping the program, same with AVG as well and quite a few of the other AV that people have recommended.

    the only one that seems to run on the computer is 8 bitdefender but it doesnt seem to be able to get rid of it according to the report it gave me in post 30 :(

    just run autorun again and 8 bit defender has picked up the same files as listed above in post 30 and the file names are exactly the same as before

    Browntoa the file path for these is

    HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsnt\currentversion\winlogon\notify

    Ive gone into REGEDIT to have a look and there seems to be two folders named erhecwjrbgbv and prmgkujwhutt which is what the virus scanner picked up.

    Ive just tried deleting the folders, but when i go back into REGEDIT they have reappeared with everything intact .....
