My computer seems to be infected by something that MS Malware detector, ad-aware and spybot are unable to detect. My web browser opens new windows spontaneously often to bizrumours.com, cultarts.com and some other sites.

Here's the Hijackthis log. I would really appreciate some help to get rid of this annoying thing.

What browser is affected, or all of them?

I only have IE installed. Version 8.

The malware seems to open the browser all by itself and it also opens new tabs in the browser window that is already open.

Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

1. Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
2. Close any open browsers.
3. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
   
   • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
   • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
   
   NOTE. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
   
   • Close any open browsers.
   • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
   • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
   • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
4. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
5. When finished, it will produce a report for you.
6. Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.

**Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!

Broni, I did as you suggested. I exited spybot and stopped windows defender malware protection and ran combofix. It said there was "rootkit activity" and rebooted my computer. Upon rebooting, spybot started automatically so I uninstalled the program and then ran combofix and hijackthis again. Here are there logs.

The strange thing is, now I am not able to run any program normally - including IE, HJT, etc. I have to right-click and run as administrator. Otherwise, I get some error message about some registry key being marked for deletion.

The strange thing is, now I am not able to run any program normally - including IE, HJT, etc. I have to right-click and run as administrator. Otherwise, I get some error message about some registry key being marked for deletion.

During cleaning process, some side effects are possible.

================================================== ===========

Open Windows Explorer. Go Tools>Folder Options>View tab, put a checkmark next to Show hidden files, and folders.
Upload following files to VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan for security check:
- c:\windows\system32\vbar332.dll

Also, Broni, I still have the HJT window open. Should I close it?

I want you to analyze it anyway.

You can close HJT.
