Hey Eddy:

Followed your instructions: ran hijackthis and “fixed” all the offending files you identified. Ran avant again and moved all found infected files to an avant folder. I then went to jotti and evaluated each - and each showed up as infected:

dgj.exe
emzums.exe
epjwid.exe
fkrabi.org
installo22.exe
randomize.dll
scvhosting.exe
wehbuo.dat
winadx.dll
xgbykn.dat
xxvsgc.txt

Next steps:

  1. Do you recommend I just use the delete key to delete them (and then clean the waste basket)?
  2. Do I need to do any specific backups or emergency disk procedures before deleting them?

Continued thanks…

Rick
