OK, lets do some general clean up of your system:

Please download OTM by OldTimer.
Alternative Mirror 1
Alternative Mirror 2
Save it to your desktop.
Double click OTM.exe to start the tool. Vista or Windows 7 users right click and select Run as Administrator
  • Copy the text between the dotted lines below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    :Files
    ipconfig /flushdns /c
    :Commands
    [EmptyFlash]
    [EmptyTemp]
    [ResetHosts]
    [CreateRestorePoint]
    [Reboot]

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Return to OTMoveIt3, right click in the "Paste Instructions for Items to be Moved" window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
  • Click the red user posted image button.
  • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
  • Close OTM

Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

If the machine reboots, the Results log can be found here:

c:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles\mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log

Where mmddyyyy_hhmmss is the date of the tool run.

Let me see the log from OTM, also give update...

I am unable to run the program, whenever I open it it says 'OM.exe has stopped working' followed by a box saying

'The application failed to initialize properly  (0xc0000005).

Thanks for continuing to help me by the way,

Ross.

Turn off all security and try again, you can disconnect from the internet whilst security is off

Hiya Ross,

I`m not 100% sure but am suspicious that your system may still be infected, I know the logs indicate otherwise but symptoms still give me some concern. I want to run a scan from outside of windows and see if it picks anything up.
Avira rescue system is the best tool for the job. One stipulation that must be followed. The CD must be created on a known clean PC, from the same PC print off the instruction, they really are very easy to follow. All you need is a blank writable CD, everything else is included in the tutorial. Obviously the PC must have a burner.
All instructions are available here Avira Rescue System Read through the instructions a couple of times to familiarize yourself with them, create the CD and print off the instruction. It will be to your advantage to have the instructions available during the process.
When complete post back to this thread in the forum..

I am going to be able to do it, but it is going take a day or so. I have to get to a clean computer.

Thanks,

Just finished scan, no detections were found, but there were 13 alerts saying either 'Error reading file' or 'Bad Archive Header'

do you need me to post the list of these files?

Thanks,

Ross.

Hiya Ross,

I would like you to remove the Zonealarm Firewall and see if OTM will run, you can use the Removal Utility available Here save the Utility to your Desktop, right click and select "Run as Administartor" ensure you enable Windows Firewall.

Try OTM again, let me see the log if successful. Also let me see the log you mention from Avira..
