    AVG detected Downloader.Istbar.3.BU but could not clean it. Ran Ad-Aware, but locked up. Ad-Aware detected the trojan. Attached is the HJT.

    Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Before you start, please unzip HijackThis to it's own folder somewhere.
    The program will make backups in the folder it's run from.
    These easily get lost in a Temp folder and are an annoyance on the desktop.


    Run HijackThis again, push Scan and place a check mark next to the following items using your mouse.
    Next, close all browser Windows, and push the 'Fix checked' button in HijackThis

    Ran HJT and fixed indicated items. Ran in Safe Mode and searched for indicated files - found neither. Tried to eliminate XXXToolbar through Add/Remove, but no go. Ran Ad-Aware again and this time it didn't lock up. Removed all items found in Ad-Aware, including several istbar. Went to Add/Remove and found XXXToolbar gone. Ran AVG and found istbar still there. Following is new HJT:

    It would be best if you could tell me where AVG found it.

    The most likely scenario is that it's part of a system restore set.
    If that is the case then you can flush your restore points by turning SR off and rebooting - then turn it back on to create a new restore point.
    See this for how to do it - http://www.trendmicro.com/en/security/advisories/win_me_clean.htm

    Did u also run SpyBotSD ? I recommend having both.

    Booted up computer this morning. Ran Ad-Aware and AVG scan with no trace of the trojan. System now clean. Thank you for your help.
