This is a weird problem I have currently been encountering...

This trojan/virus is called Trojanhorse.Downloader.Agent2.XWR as per the AVG free resident sheild report below...

*img692.imageshack.us/img692/1671/capturergfe.jpg

*img541.imageshack.us/img541/6431/capturecj.jpg

and it keeps on creating .tmp folders in my windows temp folder continuously...
*img820.imageshack.us/img820/5315/tempfolder.jpg

and sometimes the PC crashes with a BSOD, page fault in non-paging area.

I even check the RAM modules for any errors, there r none.
I have scanned with malwarebytes , trendmicro's housecall , AVGfree scanned the whole HD
And they all cant find one thing!!!

Guys pls help, anyone know what could be done ???

Download and install the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, from here:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes

Download and install CCleaner, from here:
Download CCleaner 2.32.1165 - FileHippo.com

Boot into Safe Mode and then run a full system scan using Malwarebytes. Remove any threat that Malwarebytes may find. Run CCleaner and click "Run Cleaner" to remove all the temp/unnecessary files. Finally, run a scan using AVG and remove any threat that it may find.

Reboot PC to normal mode and check if you still get any warnings from AVG.

thnkx for the help :)
Though even after all this , ad-aware , malwarebyes anti-malware, trendmicro's housecall, Trojan remover (Download Trojan Remover) in safe mode with no networking...
All of these have not detected any virus or trojan...
YET when AVGfree resident shield is active it still detects this very same virus in the svchost.exe file as per above image captures...
And when I keep the resident shield part of AVGfree active, I get bsod's with error as 'page fault in non-paging area'
Funnily the AVG scanner detects no Malware / virus / trojan.

Inspite of all this, there r hundreds of these .tmp folders created in the windows\temp folder, image capture below... and these are the very folders that are giving the AVGfree resident shield alerts...

And just now I got this alert from AD-alert's adwatch live
*img80.imageshack.us/img80/520/adwatchcapture.jpg

its just too mysterious, just what is going on ??? ???

Hi,
Download HijackThis from here:
TrendSecure | Download TrendMicro HijackThis

Run HijackThis.exe and click "Do a system scan and save a logfile". Once HijackThis completes scanning, it will create a file named hijackthis.log. Copy the contents of that logfile and paste it here.

Note: Do not fix anything in HijackThis.

I must say download trial version of good AVs just to remove that torjon
Good AV's are Norton, NOD, Kaspersky, avast, avira.
Only use these AV's to remove any malware.
AVG and all others AVs u have used except malwarebyte are 3rd grade AVs. they are no good at already infected system.

@Huzefa,
It seems like Vundo infection. We need to use few specialized tools to remove it. Download and run ComboFix from here:
A guide and tutorial on using ComboFix
(Please go through the information given at the above website, before running ComboFix)

Once the ComboFix completes scanning, it produces a log file. Post back the contents of that log file.

buddy also do a full update & scan with a-squared Free. chances are any hidden virus will be revealed. if not, go as swatkat suggested. do a scan with combofix. but do remember, if a-squared removes the infection, don't use combofix. is a very strong piece of software & may result in further damage of your Windows installation if not handled carefully.

Is there some other utility than combofix ? I am kindof reluctant to use this tool... the last time I used it, I had to format my old PC n reinstall everything... something had gone wring then, and caused due to combofix...
Vundo... but I dont get any pop-ups nor are my system resources affected...

I experienced this problem myself.
Then I got the solution for me :)
I change my AVG with Kaspersky, uninstall AVG, install Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (even it's only trial)
Then I did full scan. It detect a LOT of Trojan guys on my harddisk.
And not only that, Kaspersky did a big favour for me by removing all of the Trojan.

Actually I got the other thing to. There was some kind of virus that stated appear in my memory. It was TDSS or something which CAN'T removed by kaspersky. I did some google and found out that I'm not the only one.
Then I got this hint to download TDSSkiller. You can find it everywhere.

Hope this would help :)

Throw off AVG. Install Kaspersky Trial. Then follow the steps in below given link. That helped me to remove the Trojan and now i am able to see my chrome browser back.

How to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS

@ swatkat
Thanks for your suggestions.

@ Gauravs90
Thanks for letting me know the actual status of AVG - The Poor crap.

@Opiecool2008
Your are 100% right. And i tried the same before seeing your post.

hey frnd, there's one more solution. install any linux on ur partition and install avast on that linux. do full scan frm there, it should detect and remove those viruses/trojans. or just take ur HDD to ur frnds house. do a complete scan of your HDD using his HDD(it will be good if he is using linux). it may detect virus. other antivirus may not be detecting virus because they are active in memory. also after scanning through good av, scan ur computer through spybot s&d antispyware. also u should update ur scanner before scanning. i hope this will do the job. good luck.

thnkx for ur replies guys...
the system now dosent seem to have any virus'es present...
Though I dont know what I did and how it got removed.
Malwarebytes anti-malware found a dll inthe windows\system32 folder called 'yycvhzt.dll' and removed it after informing me to restart the PC, Had to do it twice to make sure its gone...
Next used AD-Aware to scan, it too found some malware n removed it...

Now AVG dosent give the resident sheild warning, but I still have the windows tmp folder creating problem...
every 2 minutes one tmp folder gets created in the windows\temp folder
by the end of the day I have nearly a thousand such folders... Dont understand why this is happening, It cant be a normal function of windows...

*img820.imageshack.us/img820/5315/tempfolder.jpg

By now There r no trojans/viruses in this system, Have scanned it lots of times and found nothing now...
Wat to do about the folders, thats the main Q now...
Thnkx again everyone...
