Sounds odd. Let´s see what´s running on Your computer
1. Get this version of Hijackthis from http://danborg.org/spy/hjt/alternativ.exe 2Save it in a permanent folder of your choice, such as C:\HJT\. To create this specific folder on your hard drive: Double click the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop, then under the category hard disk drives: double click Local Disk:, then select file->New -> Folder and name it HJT
3 Run hijackthis.(alternativ exe).
Choose the "Do a system scan and save a log file" option to perform your scan.
HijackThis will analyze your system, and automatically open a notepad textfile containing the HijackThis log when the scan is finished.
Open the text files containing the logs with a text editor and click Edit -> Select All, followed by Edit -> Copy. From within the browser window and with the message body text box selected, click Edit -> Paste.
Post hijackthis log here

Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of Report.txt back in this thread along with fresh hijackthis log,and tell how things are running

I hope this works out. I have the same problem on my computer. I downloaded a program from a file share site, and now I have a trojan. Most of my files are hiden. I'm thinking I'm going to have to format my computer. Is there a program I can pay for that would remove the viruses? Could you tell me which program is the best one for removing trojans? Also what are the chances that the trojan will be removed? Am I better of just formating and getting a virus protector, firewall? Thanks for the reply.

You must extract avenger. zip to your desktop, before you run it.
Start up Avenger exe. Check the 'Input script manually' option. Click the Magnifying Glass icon. In the box that opens, copy,then paste all the text in the quote box below.
Quote:
Files to delete: C:\WINDOWS\MDM.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SVCHOST.EXE
Then click on 'Done'. Click the Traffic Light icon to start the program. Then press OK at the prompts to reboot your PC.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
Run the program. After a short time a logfile will turn up. Copy the contents of the log into the thread along with avnger log, and a fresh hijackthis log.

i have the same problem. i have managed to remove the RavMon.exe virus with Protector Plus 2007, which is free to download, but problem with unhide hidden files and folders is still there.
please let me know if you have solved that problem.
would appreciate ur and anyothers help. i m desperate.
i went to safe mode and run Xoftspy and symentec in safe mode and found
Torjan horse
W32.Rajump
in mdm.exe files and svhost
after that i restarted pc. I am not able to unhide files and
when i right click any of my partition i still see the ascii language in place of open and explore. More over when i double click on any partition a window pop up which says open with. so i am not able to enter into any of my drive partition. So i have to use folder tree option to work in my partitions.. I am soo upset..
Please i desperately need help on this issue. Plz helpp.
I downloaded and utilized all the tools you menitoned as well as MS-MSRT (tells me that these are unrecognized files but does not give you an option to remove them)..and MS-Defender...
I had issues with BOOTSAFE (superantispyware)..it would not give me an option to go into NORMAL mode.. i was stuck in SAFE MODE..
using all the tools you mentioned i was able to track down the 3 files on my system.
svchost.exe / Svchost.ini
MDM.exe
and RovMon.exe (spelling?)
and those are the files that were causing the problem.. I am pretty sure that I have eliminated them form my system.
I had to go serach for all 3 files in the WHOLE REGISTERY (there were over 30 occurances for each in idfferent places).
and delete them.. then using the software you menioned above i deleted those files from the system
I still cound not UNHIDE my folders so I went and REPAIRED MY XP.. and now i can see my hidden files..
My C:\ still shows up with the corruption and i have not been able to get rid of that...
