I recently got a virus or something like it on my computer. I have been getting popups for a couple of days in regards to this AVsystemcare. Also, I am not able to use my system restore function and my computer doesn't not have me as an administrator anymore. For instance, when I try to delete programs or change properties I get a message saying operation not allowed contact system administrator. I would like to know what I need to do in order to get rid of this problem and get my computer back in good working condition. I have downloaded the HJT program and these are my results:

Welcome. Thank you for using Dell Community Forums. :)
That is quite a collection of malware. I cannot guarantee that we can fix all the damage it has done, but we'll try. It will take a few days.
* Please let me know if you have posted this log on another forum.
* I will not handle your log if you are using any cracked software, so if you are, either remove it, or repost your log in a New Message so that someone else will have the option of continuing with it.
* If you are using any P2P (file sharing) programs, please remove them before we clean your computer.
Even the safest P2P file sharing programs that do not contain bundled spyware, still expose you to risks because of the very nature of the P2P file sharing process. By default, most P2P file sharing programs are configured to automatically launch at startup. They are also configured to allow other P2P users on the same network open access to a shared directory on your computer. The reason for this is simple, file sharing relies on its members giving and gaining unfettered access to computers across the P2P network. However, this practice can make you vulnerable to data and identity theft. Even if you change those risky default settings to a safer configuration, the act of downloading files from an anonymous source greatly increases your exposure to infection. That is because the files you are downloading may actually contain a disguised threat. Many very malicious worms and trojans, such as the Storm Worm, target and spread across P2P files sharing networks because of their known vulnerabilities.
Since I find the nature of P2P programs counter productive to restoring your PC to a healthy state, please remove all P2P file sharing programs prior to my providing you with malware removal assistance.

Please check Add/Remove Programs. If AVsystemcare is listed there, uninstall it.
1. Double click on combo.exe & follow the prompts.
2. When finished, it will produce a logfile located at C:\ComboFix.txt.
3. Post the contents of that log in your next reply with a new HijackThis log.
4. Please post an an extra report:
Please launch Hijackthis again. At the Main window select "Open the misc tool section"
Then select "Open uninstall manager"
Then "save list" and save it to your desktop.
Copy and paste that list as a reply to this thread. Thanks.

Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
You will be prompted to run Combofix again. Follow the same instructions you did before for running ComboFix.
CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix while it is running. It may cause it to stall.
When finished, a log is produced here: C:\ComboFix.txt
Please provide the contents of the new ComboFix log in your next reply along with a new HijackThis log, and let me know how things are running.
Please help me again. I was on a few weeks ago trying to get help about some pop-ups I was getting. They have returned. Same message saying "
WARNING POTENTIAL SPYWARE.." unaurthorized... Now I am unable to use any of the programs I used before. Everytime I try to use Navilog or Combofix I get a message saying another program is currently using this file. Please if anyone could help me again it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know how to get rid of this problem once and for all. Also would like to know if there is any anti-virus software that I should use in particular. Please Help me again.
Two weeks ago you did not post the required logs for review, so that I could see if the infection was completely removed. Apparently it has regenerated because there were some remnants still in there.
According to your log, the infections that you had last month did not return. You remained vulnerable because last month's fix was not completed.
We will not be able to fix these multiple infections with delayed replies, because there is a chance that the malware will return in the interim.
Please let me know when you will have time to work on a fix that requires replies within 24 hours. Thanks.
