I have a new 8300, and I did have a virus problem (... don't know how, as the machine had just been repaired by a Dell engineer, and I had not setup my email accounts ....).
Anyway, I had run AVG and it flagged up the 'Proxy.5.Y' virus , and seemed to clean it.
I have run AVG and Trend Housecall and the PC comes up with a clean bill of health, but after several minutes of running AVG pops up with a Message saying it house found Proxy.5.Y in the following file, and suggests I run a full AVG Scan (which then finds nothing).
The file is:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{huge long alpha-numeric}\RP36\A0000466.exe
This path seems to be hidden, even from a 'search system/hidden files' search.
Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT. You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT. Unzip HijackThis into this folder. (See this link for graphical instructions) Then run, scan, save log, then in notepad copy the FULL log by copy and paste as a reply to this post and an expert with HijackThis Knowldge, will have a go at giving advice. A lot of posters make mistakes here in copying and pasting so reread the left info sidebar called Copy and Paste Please note the list of experts names below, very few forum regulars here have had this training. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING WITH HIJACKTHIS WITHOUT EXPERT ADVICE, most of what it finds you need for normal MS Windows tasks.

I, and the other hijack experts mentioned above, are in all those sites (and more) with the same login names. You might get one of us at those sites also to anwser your log, but other experts will also be available.
I have done the restore off-on sequence as detailed.
This is the Log I obtained from HiJackThis
----------------------------------------------------------
Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7
Scan saved at 10:45:51, on 21/05/2004
Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)
The following have randomly named file names, and as such are normally malware, UNLESS you know what they are, and they are from a safe source, please check for removal.
Spybot S&D, Ad-aware Run weekly - or after a heavy internet session.
Spybot S&D v1.3 also have a run time module that runs in the background.
Spywareblaster & Spywareguard, first sets kill bits to stop known bad activeX controls installing, second acts like your AV to stop browser hijacks and installing of known badies.
Also ie-spyad (Link on my site), puts 4000 bad sites in your restricted (banned) sites list, to stop you accidentaly getting sent to a bad site, it has optional list of "bad" adult sites to install as well.
All those with links from my site. Do remember just like Anti-Virus they need to be updated regularly, I do mine weekly, Anti-Virus hourly.
With these and a firewall in place I have to try various bad sites when checking peoples hijackthis logs looking to sort bad from good, and I have not yet been infected. Still time for it to happen LOL.
I deleted WUMGRD.EXE, however in safe mode there was no sign of ujbfsfrzlk.exe.
This is the current HiJack Log:
