Help - Vx2 Infection -- Guard.tmp?? Options

[singhmaster]

hi, i think i've got the vx2 trojan. I'm not sure though, it might just be coolwebsearch. my computer keeps on having different pop-ups come up. I have run adaware and spybot on it, but can't get rid of it. Adaware says that it can't delete a file Guard.tmp.


In norton, there are a number of trojans that norton could not quarantine. The two it couldn't are both free[1].anr; they are both downloader.trojans. I'm including my hijackthis log. please help me. thank you.
