His hijack this log said it's out of date.

Things look okay as they are but that doesn't look good, might be a format job then, unless i just see how it goes from now on as it does seem to have gone now, how do i do this rookkit scan, might be worth a go, i was deleting the file before and it was coming back but wasn't deleting it out of the registry, so maybe it won't come back now i've deleted it out the registry too.

Scanning with both http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ and malwarebytes (which you have used) usually get rid of most nasties...try not to do any more manual deleting before you scan with hitmanpro though...

Good luck

http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ didn't seem to find the virus, take it that is a good thing?.

Probably

I just ran hitmanpro and it found something suspicious on my XP machine: smab.dll in system 32, so stuck it in Kaspersky's quarantine for a while because my hitmanpro free license expired ages ago...

In reply to a post by ukhardy07:

Kaspersky really misses most of the unusual stuff. I have links to an IT security firm and kaspersky just didn't do the job good enough.

And Avira and Norton doesn't????? Just what sort of security firm is this?
Please give examples of what Kaspersky misses that these two find..... Not forgetting particularly the former's propensity for false positives.
VirusTotal results.

Smab.dll is almost certainly a legitimate file although of course any executable can be infected via a secondary source. Upload it to Jotti.

Did you scan the system with the aforementioned Kaspersky Rescue Disk?

Calm down I'm just going from experience

Offices have had viruses that kaspersky missed in the past.
I've seen it time and time again with kaspersky. So much so that I lack respect for the product.
It is also a hog on resources & likes to consume high CPU levels like Mcafee does too.

Install Avira / norton / malware bytes and its picked up in most situations

Every antivirus has its strengths and weaknesses however our provider is constantly blocking people from our corporate Internet network & 99.99999% of times it turns out they were infected but had kaspersky installed (as we give it out for free - soon to be changed).

Avira is pretty much useless and I have to say that recent experience in the real world shows that the Norton products are once more slipping back into insecurity.
I find your last statement to be incredulous unless of course your serverside security is provided by one of the well known FP generators such as Avira. Please give examples of what Kaspersky has supposedly missed and I'll take it up with K Labs.
