Hi...
My computer is obviously infected, but I have no idea with what. I notice that I have several IEXPLORE.EXE processes working all the time (like 10 in the task manager) and some starnge ones, like calc.exe, even though I am not using the calculator.
Thanks!

Yikes, so now I went to my computer this morning, and there was a bunch of people using my computer as a chat server, or some kind of website was being used, but the only thing on my desktop was my desktop. Several IEXPLORE.EXE's were opened in the task manager, and my speakers were having a party. I think it's possible that it was an infomercial, or some kind of party chat line. I am very frightened that my passwords and private information have been compromised.
Any help would be appreciated.

As you can see, the combofix I ran from the Malware Removal and Prevention Procedure has had a positive effect. I do not know if I am clean or not, but the IEXPLORE.EXE has stopped, at least temporarily. I'm going to run the virus scans again.
Here is a new HJT log:

I see you have gone ahead and run combofix.
Can you post me a new log from it please.

I first would like you to turn off Spybot's TeaTimer.
Open Spybot.
Click on Tools at the top and make sure Advanced is checked.
Select Tools on the left side.
Choose System Startup.
Look for the Value: SpybotSD TeaTimer and uncheck it the box.
Reboot the computer.
You may have done this already since I don't see it in your second log but I just want to make sure it is turned off.
Next, I want you to disable your antivirus and any antimalware programs.
Ok, I want you to open NotePad and copy what I have in the code box below into it.
Now save that file on your desktop called CFScript.txt
I want you to click on that file and drag it into ComboFix.exe
You will be prompted to run Combofix again. Follow the same instructions you did before for running ComboFix.
CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix while it is running. It may cause it to stall.
When finished, it will produce a log for you at C:ComboFix.txt which I will need in your next reply along with a new HJT log.
You can then turn back on your antivirus and antimalware

As for a technical name for it...I am not sure but Prevx finds that Bhsrv.msi is a bad file. One of the others I found not info on which makes me to believe it is random.
I am having a hard time getting on the site here but I will get back to you after I look at the log and I am able to post. I hope this go through because I hate re-typing.
Tell me how your computer is running at this time. Did you ever run the virus scan?
Computer is running fine right now. After I ran the combofix the first time, it stopped opening up hidden IE processes. There was a suspicious process called calc.exe that was also running everytime on boot, and it obviously wasn't my calculator. I couldn't shut it off through the task manager. Combofix must have caught it, because that also stopped after I ran Combofix.
