I'm not too sure what I'm suppose to do, but I was led here..

The "trojan" is

TrojanDownloader:Win32/Renos.gen!AQ

I cleaned up my computer good, got rid of (well, from what spybot and a couple virus scanners could find) all spyware + viruses, but that thign wont go away :(

I have no idea what to do. All of this is chinesse to me

[__RiP_ChAiN_]

Hello seronic,

While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can sometimes prevent HijackThis from fixing certain things.
Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean. TeaTimer can be re-activated once your HijackThis log is clean.

• Open Spybot Search & Destroy.
  
• In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected.
  
• Choose "Yes" at the Warning prompt.
  
• Expand the "Tools" menu.
  
• Click "Resident".
  
• Uncheck the "Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active." box.
  
• In the File menu click "Exit" to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.

----------------------------------------------- Step 2

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

• Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  
• Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.

I just used One Care to scan my PC, and it still finds

Hello seronic,

The line you mentioned wil be easy enough to get rid of, but it's in such a location that it must be dealt with after everything else has been cleaned out first.

Let's do one last scan for malware, if it comes up clean we'll finish this out.

Please run the F-Secure Online Scanner

Note: This Scanner is for Internet Explorer Only!

• Follow the Instruction Here for installation.
  
• Accept the License Agreement.
  
• Once the ActiveX installs,Click Full System Scan
  
• Once the download completes,the scan will begin automatically.
  
• The scan will take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan completes, click the Automatic cleaning (recommended) button.
  
• Click the Show Report button and Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Hello seronic,

Let's clean your restore points and set a new one, this will stop Windows Onecare from popping up with that file every time you scan.

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

1. Turn off System Restore.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:

SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX
IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all
Have a look at this tutorial for IE-Spyad here

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts. Make sure you are only running one real-time anti-spyware protection program or there will be a conflict.

Make Internet Explorer more secure

• Click Start > Run
  
• Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  
• Click on the Security tab
  
• Click Reset all zones to default level
  
• Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
  
• In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
  
• Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.

[seronic]

Woohoo, it's gone!!

Thank you wise one

[__RiP_ChAiN_]

I'm glad to hear your computer is running good again

Good luck to you in the future seronic
