I think you will find that the trojan removed AVG
& it has control of the hosts file which prevents
you from going to any anti-virus site. You must
consider that you must have multiple infections,
in either case formatting the hard drive & a clean
install is the best solution.
Set the bios... to boot from CD. Place your OS
disk in the CD & go!
Make sure the data you save is not carrying any
infected files.
Next time, if you must use a free AV, try AntiVir

Hi,
It sounds like the symptoms of Alcan/Alcra or P2PNetwork worm.
The bad entries should show up in the hijackthis log.

Post a hijackthis log for us to look at and we can then suggest the tool to
fix it.
Please download HijackThis 1.99.1
http://www.cyberanswers.org/forum/uploads/HijackThis1991.exe
Open Hijackthis, click "Do a system scan and save a logfile" don't fix
anything yet. Just post or upload the entire logfile.

Hijackthis logs are NOT allowed to be posted in this forum? well I didn't know.
How are you gonna fix a maware/virus infection without looking at their
hijackthis logs? You can't do that through guesswork that would be dangerous
you could make their pc unbootable, lol.
The only way to fully diagnose malware infections is by analyzing a
hijackthis log to see what infection is there and what's the right tool to
use.
I am a Helper in 4 of those forums you mentioned but I didn't suggest
pointing to them because some sites have rules not to send their members to
other sites.

Oh, well, good luck with your problem kennewickrockerguy! Yes those forums
will surely help you, you just have to wait at least 3 days unless a malware
expert sees something special in your log like a new variant of something.
