UfQ1.exe

I got into a what I thought was a harmless web site and man did I get socked with spyware.
I was able to remove them all with AdAware and Spybot but I still see something in my PC I have not seen before. It is called UfQ1.exe and it resides in windows/system32 folder. I detected it in msconfig and tried to disable it 3 or 4 times but it will check itself again and again. Updating Adaware and Spybot did not detect it and a search in Google brings up nothing. I am noticing numerous pop-up ads I never experienced before.

Any thought of what this might be and how to erradicate it?

 

Follow the instructions in this thread, please!
Since you already tried Ad-Aware and Spybot, you can skip to step 2, and continue using thig thread

Hi Coinbre!

Can you please download and run HijackThis from

http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/hijackthis.zip

and scan the system but do *not* try to fix anything yet as many of the items listed are necessary, instead press the "save log" button and copy and paste the log here for someone to review and advise on.

Thanks!
