I need help getting rid of a malware/virus??? jlwjwpashdw.exe.

I have this virus/malware??? called jlwjwpashdw.exe. that I can’t seem to get out of my computer. It’s basically a Windows Shield program that comes alive when I restart my computer. I have a PC a Dell. I’ve run my Avast and Malware anti-virus programs and nothing.

Is there another way to search for this file, find it, quarantine and/or delete it.

Please I need your help,

I’m not very computer savy

Thank You,

Adrian

It helps to know your operating system and Service Pack level. :wink:
RAM on the system is useful as well. :wink:

[*]Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

[*]When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
[*]Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post them if you need to start a new topic.

SO this is what I found out:

This is where it’s it:

Documents and Settings\Adrian\Local Settings\Application Data\hkpcipvag\jlwjwpashdw.exe/htmlMain.htm#

How do I delete this?

If you run OTL with the custom scan as in my previous post I will be able to remove that and any other elements
