WARNING: FixIEDef will kill all copies of Internet Explorer and Explorer that are running, during scanning. The icons and Start Menu on your Desktop will not be visible while FixIEDef is scanning. This is necessary to remove parts of the infection that would otherwise not be removed.
Everything will be restored to normal, once the malicious file(s) is(are) removed.
Click 'Exit' once FixIEDef displays the All Finished message.
Attach the Results of the scan:
Attach the FixIEDef log file, located on the Desktop.
Attach fresh HijackThis and ISeeYouXP logs as well.

Please note that as long as you're using any form of Peer-to-Peer networking and downloading files from non-documented sources, you can expect infestations of malware to occur.
Once upon a time, P2P file sharing was fairly safe. That is no longer true. You may continue to use P2P sharing at your own risk; however, please keep in mind that this practice may be the source of your current malware infestation.
