AutoUpdate deleted, no netclient or winlogon services to blame

[sulumnad]

I'm quite sure I have a virus, I have looked at previous threads regarding restoring the autoupdate and checking for suspicious services. I cannot install Norton anything, have used the Symantec NRT over at least 3 times. Mcafee was on it before, either its new or just very sneaky variant. Ive exported the autoupdate registry section and I have the restore commandline for autoupdate, but I have to get rid of the infected or bad services/files first. Is there an online scanner that can remove this? I can paste the processes and services. Some of the processes are blank so I'm not sure what files are causing the problems. Using my work PC now

There are many free online virus scanners most antivirus software makers provide this type of service.

TrendMicro is often recommended and can be linked to via this useful FAQ.

Any manual scans you run, try using Safe Mode.

This issue is resolved. First ran the Trend Housecall. Went into safemode, installed Avast antivirus(FREE), and Microsoft AntiSpy, Spybot S&D. Also ran Lavasoft Ad-aware. Restored the ie_fix1.cmd and ie_fix2.cmd and the Automatic update registry keys and service. Ran Norton Removal Tool again. Both Trend and Avast found like 6 viruses each. Ouch! Rebooted Twice. Uninstalled Avast, installed Norton Antivirus, Antispam, and NPF. What a chore! I hope they throw more virus writers in prison for the grief and the time they waste. Thank you Linney.
