dll problem, possibly a virus

[cheld]

Hi everyone,

I hope someone recognises my problem and is able to help me out here.

Last weekend my Vista OS started freezing at random times, so i decided to do some scans. I found that only Avira was capable of detecting a Trojan, which I deleted. All other Malware / Virus scanners either find nothing or result in a consistant freeze. The consistancy in Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is that is always freezes my machine on one particular dll file: loghours.dll but i have no idea why. When I do a System File Check the machine freezes as well.
Definition of freeze here is: i can still use the mouse, but all applications stop responding and a manual boot is required.
Anyone any ideas on this one?

Can you boot in safemode?

I know how to go in save mode if that's what you mean.

I think Osiris means, if you boot into safemode, do you still get the freezes and crashes or is it okay?

Boot into safemode and run combofix and then malwarebytes and post their logs

Thanks for trying to help out guys!

I went into Safemode and there Malwarebytes locks up also in the sys32 dir. and therefore i cannot post a log.
Combofix just gives a warning about bullguard being installed, which i uninstalled ages ago, I have no idea how to circumvent that and do not dare to run combofix when it tells me to go at my own risk
Guess it kinda ends here then doesn't it

Justy ignore the combofix error so it can scan your system.

ComboFix is "stand alone" program. It does not get installed and it does not run all the time.
It scans, deletes any files that it "knows" are bad, creates a report and then closes.
1. Click Start then run.
2. In run, type in the following code (note the space between the x and the /).
combofix /u
If done correctly then your computer should now be free of Combofix.
