Possibly a stuxnet infection. This happens if you have not updated your windows.

First use this tool: http://www.malwarecity.com/community/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=12 and click options > select full system scan and remove the malware found, if required restart.

Do a full system scan using avast. If anything is found, move it to chest.

Then, update your windows by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

I see you have thrown everything bar the kitchen sink at this

Could you attach the latest combofix log please and also as you have AVP onboard could you run an analysis scan

Start OTS. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the panel where it says "Paste fix here" and then click the Run Fix button.

Code: [Select]

[Unregister Dlls]
[Registry - Safe List]
< Internet Explorer ToolBars [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\] > -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\

< File Associations - Select to Repair > -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\<extension>\
YN -> .exe [@ = exefile] -> Reg Error: Key error.

NY ->  3029913drv.spi -> C:\WINDOWS\3029913drv.spi
NY ->  mtbjfghn.xbe -> C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\mtbjfghn.xbe
[Empty Temp Folders]
[EmptyFlash]
[CreateRestorePoint]

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix.  Post that information back here

I will review the information when it comes back in.

Depending on what the fix contains, this process may take some time and your desktop icons might disappear or other uncommon behavior may occur.

This is no sign of malfunction, do not panic!

THEN

Now an analysis scan
Run AVP tool
Select the Manual Disinfection tab 
Press the Gather System Information button 
Once done Open the last report saved folder  then attach the zip file to your next post zip 
The file is located at C:\Users\your name\Desktop\Virus Removal Tool\setup_9.0.0.722_05.01.2011_20-34\LOG\avptool_sysinfo.zip

As there are reports of Sality

Programme here   (http://www.kaspersky.com/support/viruses/solutions?qid=208279889)

Step 1. Preparation to disinfection:

Download the file Sality_off.rar 
Unpack the file Sality_off.rar 
Run the file Sality_off.exe with the key -m 
To do this select run from the start menu.
Select browse and locate sality_off.exe click once.
The file will now appear in the run box. 
Using the mouse double left click in the box and the cursor will then appear after the .exe part. now press the spacebar and type in -m  then select OK


Step 2. Signs of a disinfected/ clean computer

when restarted, the utility sality_off.exe –m does not detect any signs of infection (the line "infected thread terminated" is missing) 
Your Anti-Virus is running and works in normal mode 
full computer scan does not detect infected objects on the computer

Step 3. Cleaning the registry of infected computers in the domain network:

download the file Sality_RegKeys.zip ( link on the same page)
unpack the file Sality_RegKeys.zip 
run the file Disable_autorun.reg from the archive Sality_RegKeys.zip 
Click Yes to confirm adding the information to the registry

It's done..
One more time, avast detected LNK infection, but after quck scan with malwarebyt, and full scan with avast, sality-gr is deleted..
For now, everizhin is ok.. we'll see..

Thanks again ;)
