Can you also post a new Hijackthis log? Then we can see what else needs to be done.

Hello prasad,

Please run HijackThis and place a checkmark by the following entries:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
O4 - HKLM\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [winlogon] C:\heap41a\svchost.exe C:\heap41a\std.txt
O20 - Winlogon Notify: stp68_2007 - stp68_2007.dll (file missing)
Close all other windows except HijackThis and press "Fix Checked". Then close HijackThis and restart the computer.

Next follow the removal instructions listed below for removal of the USBWorm.
ParasiteDB - Info for: USBWorm


When you've finished everything above, restart your computer. Then run HijackThis again and post the new log in your next reply.

Default Re: spyware pop ups and desktop wallpaper changes!
Your HijackThis log appears clean. But as your PC was quite severely infected before, please run an online scan at Panda's ActiveScan.
  • Please go here using Internet Explorer.
  • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button.
  • A new window will open, click the big Check Now button.
    • Enter your Country.
    • Enter your State/Province.
    • Enter your e-mail address and click send.
    • Select either Home User or Company.
    • Click the big Scan Now button.
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it.
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan.
  • When the download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan.
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
NOTE: Please ignore any entry(s) it finds, and the offer to buy the program to remove the entry(s), as we will address this later.
