Hello.

It seems I have been infected with the .bho virus and I'd like to get rid of it. The Malware sweeper will remove it but it seems to be permanently located in the registry keys. It will pop up on every reboot - even when not connected to the internet. When it's cleaned out, I will usually get a buffer overload from McAfee that will stop the internet. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the hijack this log

Hi.

Can you please update Malwarebytes, run a quick scan and post the new log?

Thanks! Here is my latest scan after I upgraded the anti-malware.

Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts. Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HijackThis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick Combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

Thanks! That was cool to watch.

Here is the report. Am I bug free yet?

Go start -> run and type in combofix /u and press OK to remove Combofix.

Everything looks good. Are you still having any problems?

Thanks for your help! I think the bug is dead.

I removed combofix today and did a rescan. The anti-malware program keeps finding the bho.trojan in two spots...HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\. However, if you tell anti-malware to remove it I don't get an internet explorer buffer overload anymore. Is that's what it's supposed to do? If not, that's good enough for me as my machine runs.

Update Malwarebytes, run a quick scan and post the log please.

Hello! I updated Malwarebytes and this is what I have now after a quick scan.
