Hi there good ppls, i have a bit of a problem that i cant seem to fix, i seem to have a trojan of some sort, downloader.crypter.c, i cant find anything about it and when i run anti virus scans it doesnt pick it up, my os is 98se and the virus seems to be hiding in the windows temp files, avg has found it and disabled access but wont find it during its scan, i also have tried to use spybot but recently it seems to stop responding halfway through it, i also have adaware 6 and none of this is helping me, ive been told i need to do a clean boot but want to avoid doing this, if anyone can help please feel free to give me any information, thanks heaps

First try this: Ewido Trojan Scanner.

Then please post a HijackThis log to the forum.

Launch HijackThis, then press Scan, and press Save Log.

This will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.

Open that file.
Go to Edit | Select all
Now click Edit | copy to copy it.

Do not change anything just yet.
Come back to the forum, Right Click and paste its contents here.
