I am actually having a very similar problem with the adware-look2me threat that ihave seen posted on here.

 

It seems the only file that NAV finds is a file name apsynthIAC.cpy.dll.   When i go to delte it, it won't let me.   Here is what my log file looks like after i ran Hijackthis. 

 

Now, i will say that i found a website that had this solution to the problem, let me know if you see anything in my log that i need to fix and if this fix is decent:

 

here is the fix, taken from computercops.com:

 

My problem was a 1 min login delay due the aktiveds.dll that loads at startup (thanks to NicTech Networks Inc.). The following advice worked for me so I guess it works for any .dll made by NicTech since they all use the same registry folder....

Open up regedit.exe and find THIS folder. Navigate to it by clicking the +'s to expand
things like you would in Windows explorer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\Guardian


Right click over "Guardian" in the left pane.
Left click on "Permissions"
Left click "SYSTEM" once to highlight it.
Check "deny" in all boxes that you can at the bottom (Probably only 2)
Left click Apply
Left Click OK

Say "OK" to any warnings about permissions
**Reboot** the system

then problems solved

 

 

 

Here is my log:
