I have spyware on my computer! I think it might be trackware, or a minor parasite. =/

Symptoms :

1.)When I click a shortcut on my desktop, it shows the properties for it.
2.)I can't type anything in my address bar or in a search bar (Google)
3.)Mouse is kinda messed up.
4.)Computer slowing down.
5.)Everything always opens in a new tab, rather than a new window.

I need some help. I'm doing a Trend Micro online scan right now.

But some other guy said it copies itself to the system32 folder? I don't know :X

EDIT : Alright I think I found it. It was hidden and I think it is in C:\WINNT\system32\MSN32

EDIT2: Okay figured that out..But I just wanna confirm is this what I delete?

EDIT3: Okay so it said it was created yesterday and I deleted it.

EDIT4: So I guess it contained msn32.exe and the log (keylogger I presume) Gonna go restart in normal mode..wish me luck.

EDIT5: FIXED.

Hey Spectre,

DO NOT DELETE the file from Explorer, you will not have removed the infection, you will only have removed part of the problem, and possibly cause more.

Please, follow the instructions carefully for PreWork in my signature, use both AVG and SpySweeper, then post the three logs from that along with the log from Housecall. You may need to run a couple of more scans before you are finished.

We'll take a look and see what else needs to be fixed.

Looking forward to your reply,

Here's the first..

Hey Spectre,

If you ran HijackThis prior to the AVG scan, please run it and post it again after, it is the order of the PreWork that makes the difference. Thanks,
