Thanks for helping...I did everything that you posted..all worked but the TDSSKiller.exe did not find anything....I redid the antiroot kit from avg and they are still showing....any more suggestions ?

Not all hidden entries found are necessarily rootkits. Have you tried Sophos Anti-Rootkit?http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/sophos-anti-rootkit.htmlInstall and run it, then look at the recommendations for each item found.SC Tom-There's no such thing as TMI when asking for tech support.

Thanks for helping...I did everything that you posted..all worked but the TDSSKiller.exe did not find anything....I redid the antiroot kit from avg and they are still showing....any more suggestions ?As noted by the answer above not all hidden files are rootkits. Honestly the file path(s) in your initial post make absolutely no sense. There are no such paths. My advice to you is to get rid of AVG. It really isn't a good anti-virus software. I recommend Avast 5.0 which has paid and free versions. If you follow my advice perform a boot-time scan with Avast as soon as the installation is complete. Finally, it is my belief that support is no longer provided for AVG rootkit which means it is outdated and no longer of value.Avast Free Antivirus - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com I don't vote for myself I'm not here for the points.
