All looks good and safe to me!

Hopefully it is.

Deleted it before but it come back but i think this was cause i forgot to delete it from the registry, made sure to do that this time, the virus is still showing in msconfig, is that such a big deal, even though it shows in there i take it the virus doesn't actually exist on my computer now, is there a way to remove it from the list in msconfig from what i can see you can only disable stuff?.

In reply to a post by tomxlisa:

it seems to be gone but is still listed in msconfig

Where in MSCONFIG? Post the entry here. That should give a clue to how to get rid of it.

If you like you could run up REGEDIT and search for all the occurrences of "iehighutil" and delete them.

There should never be a folder entitled "Temporary"; they are usually called "TMP" or "TEMP".

Apparently iehighutil.exe is a virus that mines Bitcoins.

It is listed in (Startup) in msconfig, but it isn't listed to start up, i do think the virus is gone now, but is still showing in there and would feel more safer with it gone from there but there is no delete button in msconfig to get rid of it, i will do the search in regedit like you said to check if its still about in there but believe it is gone now, there isn't a folder on my computer called (temporary) now, it seems to have gone and not come back since deleting it and hopefully getting rid of the virus.

You never know with passwords, and if I ever discover any form of trojan / virus or the like on my system, my first move would be to change all passwords (at the bank's end of things too).

There might be an instance of it in MSconfig, but it should stay disabled, and you should be able to delete the instance of it. Since getting CCleaner, I can't say I've used MSconfig since. With CCleaner you can delete the instances of disabled processes. There used to be a way of doing it in simple text on W2K / XP, but I forget the trick (nad have no idea if it has continued onto Vista / Win7). Boot.ini rings a bell though.

Hope that fix works for you.

Searched for it again in the registry and it found other entries for it in there so deleted everything that the search found when i put the virus name in, looked in msconfig afterwards and it seems to have gone from there now so maybe that is what the entries was, as it was still listed in msconfig, i am guessing that the virus had gone but it was just listed still in msconfig which now it isn't, so hopefully all good now, shall i do a last hijackthis log file for you to look at?.

Naw, the first one after the changes showed no instances of it. If the very first log did have it, then it's gone.

The proof is in the pudding though. Is your GPU behaving?

My drivers for my GPU was playing up and that is how i found out this virus existed but that is solved now since sorting this virus out, this is the new log file i have just done anyways, have a quick look over it and just double check everything looks good?.

Yes, but what line that is listed in MSCONFIG/Startup?

It hasn't gone if MSCONFIG can see it; it's not making anything up.

Yes, MSCONFIG can't itself delete it but it can provide the clue to how to delete it.

I'm willing to bet the entry in MSCONFIG is:

iehighutil "C:\Temporary\iehighutil.exe" HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You were advised to delete the registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. You also need to delete any in:

HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
