First off , thanks a millions Essexboy, there was no way i could’ve fixed this infection without your help, you even created a personalized batch file, wow! :o

I’m using my W7 right now and everything is pretty much back to normal as far as I can tell for now, tested a few of my regular apps and they seem to work fine.all desktop icons are back, programs/files are available even my Dell Dock is back to normal…

I had to reset a few win-explorer settings that reverted to default, like on the task bar/start bottom and desktop background etc but no big issue.

also Looks like a couple of programs will need to be re-installed/upgraded.

Soluto-a boot monitor util- is not loading, and Power DVD is not working,(I will re-install from OEM disk) and my backup software, ‘Cobian’ is not loading/working properly, but I had to upgrade it anyways…so

I have a few quick questions

What is the exact name of this virus?

Any ideas how it went through my Avast/Zone Alarm defenses?

I’d like to know to make sure this doesn’t happen again, I’m kind of paranoid now…'cause I’ve never been infected before since the net came along in the mid 90’s.

I run avast’s full scan every week and when ‘disable’ for any install I pull the wall plug.

Should I run an Avast’s “Boot Scan” at every boot?

I use this PC for many tasks and even though the data is backed up(internal/external)starting from scratch will be a major time-consuming pain…

Here are the log files…
