Location of an extraordinary temporary files noted in the Kaspersky scan is
C:\Documents and Settings\Catie\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
Now you may not be able to see this file when you look because it may be hidden.
The Content.IE5 folder contains folders with randomly-created folder names that consist of letters and numbers (they have names like these SYIKPLTD, 49670D2V)
This folder is not visible in the C:\Documents and Settings\Catie\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files directory. However, if you would like the Content.IE5 folder to be visible, do the procedure below.
To make the Content.IE5 folder to be visible in Temporary Internet Files directory Please note that it is not necessary to make the Content.IE5 folder to be visible in Temporary Internet Files directory when deleting files in the Content.IE5 folder.To delete all files in Content.IE5 folder using Windows Explorer
- Press Start and select Run.
- Type cmd.
- At the command prompt, type
dir /a "%Userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"Just looking through the Kaspersky scans I would guess that the temporary internet files have never been removed, or if they have it has been a very long time. Please do the above steps given manually, then boot to Safe Mode and run the ATF-Cleaner again using both the Internet Explorer options and then again using the Firefox options.
- Close your Internet browser.
- Set the Windows Explorer to view the address bar. To do this:
- Open My Documents
- Click View > Toolbars and check the Address Bar option.
- In the address bar, type the path below and press the Enter key from your keyboard.
C:\Documents and Settings\Catie\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5- In "C:\Documents and Settings\Catie\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\", click each folder (and from what I can see there are at LEAST 16) you want to delete and press the Delete key from your keyboard. Then, click Yes to confirm the deletion. Please note that you cannot delete index.dat.
Once complete then please run a full system scan with the AVG Anti-spy cleaner. Have it fix everything it finds and Save the log.
Reboot. Run a new Kaspersky scan, save the log.
Then run a new HJT log and post back with all three new logs.

P.S. by the way...
Didn't want you to think I was ignoring your comment. You couldn't find that thread or old user name because we had a total crash here a year ago this week and lost everything, including old posts and all the member lists. So we had to start from scratch.Anyway you actually were to one who helped me get rid of it. I was looking for the threads but couldn't find them. I used a different username during that point in time it was ImdefNotAGeek.
