Sounds like Vundo.

Download and Run ComboFix

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/Beta/ComboFix.exe

Disconnect from the Internet, than disable your Anti-virus and any real-time Anti-spyware monitors that are running.
Then double click Combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a log for you. Upload that log in your next reply with a new HijackThis log. Upload to the following link and post the link to it back here.

http://www.ee-stuff.com

Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.
Note 2: Remember to re-enable your Anti-virus and Anti-spyware before reconnecting to the Internet.

Oh boy that's quite a mess you have there...

OK, for uploading files go to the link I provided.
http://www.ee-stuff.com
Sign in if you haven't already.
Click on the "Experts Area" tab.
Click on "Upload a new file"
When the new window pops up. Click "Browse" and find the file to be uploaded. Then post the link to it back here.

Please don't post any other logs here.

Give me some time to go over that combofix log and I'll get back to you either later this evening or tomorrow with a script that you will need to run. Combofix did get quite a bit but you still have quite a mess there. In the meantime, please run HijackThis and upload that log to ee-stuff.

Download here:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php
Run it, do a system scan and save a log file. Upload the log file that's produced.

do you think I might be better off reloading the OS?

Before we do anything with combofix I would suggest you run SDFix first. Then combofix again.

Please download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Double click on SDFix.exe. It should automatically extract a folder called SDFix to your system drive (usually C:\). Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.

Open the SDFix folder and double click on RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y and press Enter to begin the script.
It will start cleaning your PC and then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any key to restart the PC.
Your system will take longer than normal to restart as the fixtool will be removing files.
When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished.
Press any key to end the script and to load your desktop icons.
A text file should automatically open, so please upload the contents to http://www.ee-stuff.com.

Then run combofix again after running SDFix. Upload that log and a Hijackthis log.

Many thanks for all of help to this point.
