Computer Is Screwed Up By Malware[RESOLVED]

Deepfryer · May 8, 2008

Hello,

My computer is seriously screwed up. It can no longer boot up in normal mode, only safe mode. When I try to boot in normal mode all that shows up is my desktop with the background picture and the cursor, but no other icons, and there is no start menu, taskbar, or anything else. So I can't do anything at all if I boot in normal mode. There are 2 saved system restore points, but when it tries to load them, the same thing happens, just a blank desktop. I don't know how this is happening, because the computer was working (at least mostly) fine on the days that the system restore points were saved.

Before the problem became this severe, the computer was badly infected with malware. It had win32trojandownloader.agent, and several other problems such as webhancer and a couple of others (which I may or may not have fixed). I believe there was one initial infection, either the win32trojandownloader.agent or something else, and it downloaded a variety of other problems onto the computer. I later figured out that it had disabled my computer's firewall. I believe the win32trojandownloader.agent was the major problem, because it was the one that was consistantly found by Adaware, and it kept coming back everytime I tried to get rid of it. I was trying to use Norton Antivirus as well as AdAware to fix the problems, but it was no use, the infections kept coming back and downloading other things. They hijacked my internet exporer, so I couldn't use the internet, and therefore I couldn't post a hijackthis log.

Anyway, believing my Norton Antivirus may have been infected, I uninstalled and then reinstalled it, and that's when things took a turn for the worse. Now I can't do anything because I can't even boot into normal mode. Please help!

Below is a hijackthis log, although it was done in safe mode, so I don't know how much help it will be.

Update: For the first time in 3 or 4 days I got the computer to successfully boot into normal mode. I can't connect to the internet at all in normal mode. I also got two error messages while booting up. Windows had an error loading these two files, because they could not be found:

c:\windows\system32\aewchmtc.dll

c:\windows\system32\hxpqbkwj.dll

And I was able to do a scan using hijackthis in normal mode:
