    Hi,

    Is that the complete log ? please make sure you are posting the full log. Close all browser windows and fix these items..

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {66FD496B-284C-071F-9411-5E9C24B3C0DF} - C:\PROGRA~1\32PROC~1\Close second.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [City Debug] C:\PROGRA~1\Drv grim logo\for mp3 mess.exe

    Then reboot, hopefully that was the problem. Please submit those 2 files to me then delete them - submit@diamondcs.com.au this will help stop others getting infected

    Hi,

    Send an email to submit@diamondcs.com.au
    Click "Attach" to attach those files listed, so we can examine them

    As long as you have "fixed" those items and rebooted, your problem should be gone

    gavin means that you should send those files to him.
    to be examined closely; THEY ARE POSSIBLE NEW UNKNOWN TROJANS..
    that's why it is important to get them so that a detection can be added.

    create a new folder on your desktop( right click ans empty space there, select new> folder. copy those 2 files one at a time and paste them into that new folder. then right click that new folder and select send to> compressed folder, compress the folder, start your e-mail program and send that compressed folder to submit@diamondcs.com.au as an attachment

    it could be possible that these 2 files have the system/hidden attribute: see here how to show them

    Swizzor is known in spyware-circles as lop.com aka C2Media

    This comes bundled with MessengerPlus, but you can skip install when you choose not to accept the sponsor software when installing MessengerPlus.

    Could it be that the (not activated) installer is being found?

    By the way, you should update Windows and IE. Other then that your log looks good.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Sorry for the interuption: do you need MS Office at all time? If not, you might like to get it from the startup and just create shortcuts to the programs on your desktop to start them when you need them. It's no security issue, but it's a very resources consuming thing, you'll notice your computer running much faster if it's not active all time.
