Hi all. For the past 4 weeks I have been struggling to get rid of the vista 2010 virus and its associated problems. Yesterday I booted into safe mode and ran; Malwarebytes, Spybot, AVG, Superantispyware and ccleaner. I also checked through google and removed a variety of malicious registry entries, (not all enteries that I read about were there). Well, about an hour after doing all this I went to do something and the bloody thing was back!! WTF As said I have spent a good deal of time and effort trying to get rid of this cr@p and have finally given up. Can someone PLEASE help me, I have included a Hijackthis log, thanks.

Some additional info: I had done the trend House call scan and I had the User account control turned off so I started it again but still this cr@p got in. I also deleted all temporary files, cookies and web browsing history.
So I have now tried these instructions: http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-vista-antispyware-2010 and an hour later all 'appears' well. Anyone wish to contribute their experience? Please?
Run Malwarebytes off a flash drive Scan delete restart computer If that doesnt work then go here http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f...us_windows_defender_removal_tutorial-837631/.
