Welcome,

I had aproblem with this trojan winlogonhook on my computer.

I have the windows XP home eddition instaled on my comp. There were
some topics about this trojan but in order to other versions of the
windows. I'm not so keen on this matters. So please give me steb by
step advice what to do in this matter.

Let me guess since you've not supplied sufficient information. Spy
Sweeper detected and removed the malware but you keep on
getting reinfested because you failed to flush System Restore.
If that's the case then have Spy Sweeper or Ewido or whatever
you used to detect the Trojan remove it again. Then follow these
steps:

1. Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on
Properties.
2. Click on the System Restore tab.
3. Put a check mark next to 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives'.
4. Click the 'OK' button.
5. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes.

Now once you have rebooted the computer you will need to re-enable
System Restore.
To re-enable the Restore Utility, follow steps one to five and on step
three remove the check mark next to 'Turn off System Restore on All
Drives'.

Finally, run your antimalware program again to verify that the
Trojan is indeed gone.


Ok I will do that as well today in the afternoon I will put here my log
that You will be able look at him and give addition info if require.

We need to know _where_ your antimalware product finds the malware,
and which antimalware product is alerting. It may be that it's just
continually finding it in your System Restore. If so, it can't remove
the malware from there.
