ANTIVIRUSTGT knocking out touchpad

On a toshiba satellite laptop the touchpad would'nt work. The driver showed it was in error so i uninstalled the driver and worked great for a few hours till happened again.I done the same thing and once again it happened so i'm after reinstalling the driver once again.I done a Avast boot time scan and it showed "zip> touch pad driver\data1 cab error 42125{zip is corruputed.}.
Also i found a program called ANTIVIRUSTGT/ I ran the guide from bleeping computer but it does not appear to have worked. Its not telling me that it has that virus no pop ups etc
Any help would be great.Thanks for taking time to read this

Let's try it this way...
Reboot into Safe Mode with Networking
How to enter safe mode(XP)
Using the F8 Method
Restart your computer.
When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
Select the option for Safe Mode with Networking using the arrow keys.
Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.

RKill....

Download and Run RKill

• Please download RKill by Grinler from one of the 4 links below and save it to your desktop.
  
  Link 1
  Link 2
  Link 3
  Link 4
  
  
• Before we begin, you should disable your anti-malware softwares you have installed so they do not interfere RKill running as some anti-malware softwares detect RKill as malicious. Please refer to this page if you are not sure how.
  
• Double-click on Rkill on your desktop to run it. (If you are using Windows Vista, please right-click on it and select Run As Administrator)
  
• A black screen will appear and then disappear. Please do not worry, that is normal. This means that the tool has been successfully executed.
  
• If nothing happens or if the tool does not run, please let me know in your next reply

Do not reboot your computer after running rkill as the malware programs will start again. Or if rebooting is required run it again.


If you continue having problems running rkill.com, you can download iExplore.exe or eXplorer.exe, which are renamed copies of rkill.com, and try them instead.

Hi, you're welome. We will do an online scan. If it syill in the Start .. Do a file/folder search for AntivirusGT and see if you can ger the full path.

ESET

  ESET OnlineScan
• Click the ESET Online Scanner button.
• For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
  • Click on Export to text file... to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on the Eset Smart Installer icon on your desktop.

In your next reply, please include the following:

• Eset Scan Log

NOTE: In some instances if no malware is found there will be no log produced.

No threats Found. The file/folder search c;\documents and settings\all users\start menu\AVGT. Thanks

Ok lets kill that,AVGT.

use MBAM's FileAssassin feature.

Open MBAM again.Click the More Tools tab and then the Run Tool button
Now browse to the file(s) we want to remove using the drop down box next to Look in: at the top.
Locate the file(s), click Open. c;\documents and settings\all users\start menu\AVGT <<-- kill this
You will be prompted with a message warning: This file will be permanently deleted. Are you sure you want to continue?. Click Yes.
If removal did not require a reboot, you will receive a message indicating the file was deleted successfully, however, I recommend you reboot anyway.

Caution: Be careful what you delete. FileAssassin is a powerful program, designed to move highly persistent files. Using it incorrectly could lead to disastrous problems with your operating system.

Done that and deleted it and rebooted.Now here where it gets a bit strange.Its still pinned to start so i went back to file assassin and and pressed the run tool .In the look in My recent Documents
desktop
My Documents
my Computer
Local disk c
Documents and settings
all users
Start menu
AVGT

I Click on AVGT and drop down box is empty
I Checked the start down menu and AVGT folder is there but its empty.I click on to to run file assasin and it brings me back to AVGT drop down menu

I'm hoping because the Folder is empty its gone?

Use Process Explorer to see what's running at startup.


Please download and run Process Explorer v11.33
Click on File then Save As, create a log.
Copy and paste it into your next reply.

Hello OK, it is not running so if you can search it again the right click and select delete for AVGT.
Is your SUPERAntiSpyware the paid version? If NOT then right click it's icon in the System tray and select stop/end /disable. As the fee version is not giving active protection and no need to waste resources.

Boopme thanks for taking the time and giving all the help.

You're welcome! Now you should Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been backed up, renamed and saved in System Restore. Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an old restore point. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
• Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name, then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

• Then use Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created Restore Point.
• Go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
• Click "Ok". Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
• Click the "More Options" tab, then click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
• Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point?"
• Click Yes, then click Ok.
• Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform these actions?"
• Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.

Vista and Windows 7 users can refer to these links: Create a New Restore Point in Vista or Windows 7 and Disk Cleanup in Vista.

Just done it Thanks Boopme great tip.
