The name of my virus is: Win32:Afcore [Trj]
Avast found it and it can’t get rid of it. Says it’s in use. No result in safe mode or boot scan either.
I’ve tried Ad-aware, spybot S&D, CleanIt–all in safe mode. I also tried Killbox, but not in safe mode; I’ll try that in a minute.
Here’s the Hijackthis log:

I’m sure there’s a lot of bad crap on there. I didn’t touch anything because I don’t know what it is. Please help me get rid of the baddies and especially Afcore!
I’m still looking at trying to stop the process from running with the task manager (if I can figure out what they are) and deleting with Avast. I just had some luck with that, in fact, but I think there are multiple incidents of this virus on my computer because Avast still says it’s infected. I’ll let you know how it goes.
