Hello and Welcome to the forums.

I am MoNsTeReNeRgY22 and I will be assisting you with your malware problem today.

Step 1

Your log shows that you have run HijackThis without extracting it from the zip folder first or have it running fromyour desktop/temporary location. To ensure that backups made when items are fixed are secure, we need to get HijackThis set up properly. To do this please download the self-extracting version of HijackThis that will unzip the file for you and put a shortcut on your desktop. Please delete any copies of HijackThis.zip you have saved.

Please download the self-extracting version of HijackThis from here:

HijackThis Installer Download

Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.

Double-click the file then click the Install button.

The file will be extracted to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe

A shortcut for future use will also be created on your desktop and the Intro Frame of HijackThis will open.

Click Do a system scan and save a log file. Copy the entire contents of that log and post it here by clicking the Add Reply button.

Please use the shortcut to run the extracted HijackThis.exe from now on. Delete any copies of HijackThis.zip that you have saved.

Step 2

NOTE: You will need to temporarily disable any programs you have running that will block attempts to edit the registry. As FixIEDef calls REGEDIT to delete registry keys added by Zlob, Trojan.Downloader.Delf, AntiSpyPro, and IE Defender.

Download FixIEDef.exe by ShadowPuterDude to the Desktop.
Note: FixIEDef now supports Non-English Language Systems
Double-click FixIEDef.exe:
That will open the About FixIEDef screen. Click OK to continue:
Next, press the Scan! button:
FixIEDef needs to run as Administrator to perform correctly. This message simply confirms it was able to run with admin privileges. Click OK to continue:
Wait for the scan to finish. It shouldn't take very long:
WARNING: FixIEDef will kill all copies of Internet Explorer and Explorer that are running, during removal of malicious files. The icons and Start Menu on your Desktop will not be visible while FixIEDef is removing malicious files. This is necessary to remove parts of the infection that would otherwise not be removed.
After the !!! All Finished !!! message is displayed, click Exit:
Post the FixIEDef log file, located on the Desktop.
Note: process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool". It is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
