Some good news, the christmas.exe virus is gone, and so is Incredifind! Still stuff that got reinstalled, though.

If you are lucky, this nasty WinTools won't kill your Internet connection. If you are not, you'll need LSPFix. Make sure you download it ahead-of-time!

Download IEFix.reg.

First, boot to safe mode. All that junk came right back, so fix all the things I recommended under "Definitely remove" before and add these new items:

O1 - Hosts: 207.36.196.189 ieautosearch
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} - C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll

O16 - DPF: {4B9F2C37-C0CF-42BC-BB2D-DCFA8B25CABF} (PopCapLoaderCtrl Class) - http://zone.msn.com/bingame/rock/default/popcaploader1.cab
O16 - DPF: {E06E2E99-0AA1-11D4-ABA6-0060082AA75C} (GpcContainer Class) - http://instillevents.webex.com/client/latest/event/ieatgpc.cab

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://rd.yahoo.com/customize/sbcydsl/defaults/*http://yahoo.sbc.com/dsl
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.sony.com/vaiopeople
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName = 
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,Shellnext = http://us.mcafee.com/root/landingpages/cd.asp?affid=122-01&lpname=vsotrial90&cid=7800&appurl=http://us.mcafee.com/apps/AppCommon/updreg.asp?app=http://us.mcafee.com/apps/vso/en-us/redir.asp?affid=122-01&installtype=force&lpname=vsotrial90&langid=1&systempopup=true 
(obfuscated)

O16 - DPF: {EB387D2F-E27B-4D36-979E-847D1036C65D} (QDiagHUpdateObj Class) - http://h30043.www3.hp.com/aio/eng/check/qdiagh.cab?315

Immediately delete as much as you are allowed from these files and folders (The whole thing if it'll let you. We'll deal with the error messages later.):

C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\

C:\PROGRA~1\INSIDE~1\Long Grey.exe

BackWeb-8876480.exe <-- Not sure where this really is. Do a search.

Use the IEFix.reg file to restore default pages so you arn't reinfected immediately.

Open c:\windows\win.ini. Add a ";" (semicolon) in front of any lines that begin with "run=". Post the content of those lines, if there are any, with your next post.

Run Adaware and Spybot S&D now to get rid of anything we missed.

Reboot and hope!

Run an online virus scan immediately. (Housecall)

Post another log and we'll see what that took out. Isn't getting rid of spyware fun?
