I'm pretty sure that's what I'm supposed to call this... I've been fighting with a few different things for the last two weeks now--the antivirus pro stuff, google redirect, exe extension swap, disabled regedit, fake processes in my Temp folder, you name it--and have finally narrowed things down to three remaining hits on malwarebytes, all labeled SKYNET to some degree or another.

I can't get them uninstalled, the file locations go nowhere, and I'm at wits' end. For info's sake, I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit and my main browser is google chrome, since Firefox and Internet Explorer began crashing constantly a week ago.

Hijackthis log to follow.

I forgot to add that MalwareBytes keeps catching IP infections that are located in (I tracked the last few out of curiosity) Balti, Scottsdale, and Shanghai. I don't know if that's actually relevant or just a fluke.

Still needing help, and new symptoms have come up...

I'm getting IP Infection notices constantly, my computer likes to freeze if I try to open something (including task manager or the Start menu) that isn't included in the startup menu, and I have to boot from Last Known Good Configuration if I want it to stop.

This is maddening... Please help me out, guys.

Got the same problem on my daughter's computer. Tried RegAssassIn by Malwarebytes and couldn't delete the "hidden" registry key that was launching the service at bootup.
Will try Dr.Web CureIt scanner next, a Russian AV that is awesome and free, also used by the Russian Defense Ministry!

Actually shelled out for a subscription program and ran a few comprehensive scans... Paid program actually removed parts that made it impossible to track the files down. After that first scan/remove, I went into MBAM, found them again, opened the folder, and could actually delete the files manually.

I am optimistic, and although cautiously so, this thread can be deleted.
