as said above I would not FIX MS OFFICE or EXCELL entries with HJT
let's find another guinea pig who has tried it successfully first
is there more removal info in the MS tech link?

amazing virus total report
have we run an on line av scan like bit-defender etc? (watch for fp-s)
have we run the trend micro anti rootkit scan? (any hidden re-installers?)

hjt looks good

Any reason why you are still using the vulnerable IE6?

IE7 has much more security:

Foxit Reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/) isn't a trial, it is freewear and what I use for PDFs, if you have that then you could get rid of acrobat completely so no need to update it.

The site i was on was giving it out for a trial periode(Most likely the pro version) but i have uninstalled Adobe Reader and installed Foxit Reader, its alot faster than Adobe also so xD
