Virus or Missing System Files?

When windows boots up I get an error about gclgaf40.dll module not found. I also can not seem to open my context menu on my desktop with out windows complaining. For example I tried to rename a folder. If I try to rename it it says it does not exist. If I try to choose rename, but not actually change the folder name, then it says it already exists. A quick google search about this error turned up lots of virus reports so I am a bit paranoid. I am baffled how anything would have managed to infect my computer. None the less, here is the hijack this log:

Hey Golden just came to update my post but you beat me to it. I have scanned my PC with Malwarebytes and Nod32. Nod32 is my primary line of defense against viruses and such running 24/7. Malwarebytes I usually do a daily scan. Neither scanner has returned any threats. Ran sfc /scannow as admin in cmd and found no problems.

Sorry, I'm not a HijackThis expert. Actually, I'm not an expert at anything. But one more scan you can try is Microsoft's Standalone System Sweeper.

https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...m-sweeper.html

If still having problems you might try extracting the gclgaf40.dll file from your Windows 7 installation DVD (if you have one.) If you actually have that file on the installation DVD you might be able to import a fresh copy. Why didn't sfc /scannow detect any problems? Like I said, I'm not an expert but two possibilities come to mind. It's not a system file on your machine or, the basic file was detected but not any malicious code that might have been added to it.

Extract Files from Windows 7 Installation DVD

Searching Google for this file to see what it's linked to it appears to be an Ikarus trojan dropper, I found full details of the other files it creates and their location on threat expert. Have a look www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=63bd2d8ddd650093865e44ed6e583a60

I guess I should have read the first result in google lol. I skimmed through looking for sites I recognized. Anyways I look through my system for the files and registry entries listed. I managed to find 2 files an none of the reg keys. I am guessing Nod32 caught it before it could full infiltrate the system. I am still baffled how it got it, but thank you for the information I was able to remove the files with no problem. Going to go down for a reboot and make sure they do not come back.

@marsmimar, thank you for your response as well. I was not aware of this tool, but F-Secure Rescue CD has always served me well in the past for those nasty nasty infections. I will keep it in mind though!

Hope the problem is solved and gone for good!

I tried the Microsoft tool. It found an infection in my Install Shield directorey of my 32 bit program files. It doesnt seem to have cleaned it imo. My hijackthis log looks exactly the same. Sucks I just did a clean install of windows like last week.It would be easier to try to remove the virus, but in the end, it would probably end up wasting more time.

Thanks anyways guys, atleast I got to the root of the problem. I am just to lazy to try to clean it out, plus this ensures I dont have any side effects from trying to remove the virus.
