mithril,


Let's try a fix and repair tool:
Please download and save it to your desktop.

Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

When it's done running it will produce a log for you. Please post that log in your next reply.

Important Note - Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running, that may cause it to stall.

mithril,

Just a little cleanup and you will be good to go.

Warning these instructions are for this thread only!
You should never attempt to use them for anything else!

Start HijackThis and click "Do a system scan only" put a check next to each of the following entries:
O23 - Service: Service Cvasvr (Service Cvas) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\csvas.exe (file missing)
Now click the "Fixed checked" button and then close HijackThis

That's it :)
