[bcab] malware I can't find

Hi all.

In the last couple of days, I think I have had someone try and succeed in 
getting through my firewall.  I found this out because I got a message that 
appeared from the Microsoft firewall which is all I was using at the time.  It 
said it had blocked something called File Transfer Program and asked to keep 
blocking or unblock.  I accidentally pressed enter on unblock and that is where 
my problems began.

My PC shut down automatically and then restarted.  Everything appeared to be 
fine until an mp3 file started playing on the PC automatically.  I therefore 
asumed someone had gained remote access to my PC, having got through the router 
on my firewall.

I was also working on a new laptop at the time and put the Sygate firewall on 
this.  I got a dialog there saying a module called I believe Windows Services 
was wanting to contact a server called garbage.scrappy.cc

The Garbage and cc bits are certainly correct.  I did not let this through.

I tried to do a system restore and got the message:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have 
the appropriate permissions to access 
the item.
OK 

also after doing a windows update I get a message telling me the update is 
complete and asking me to restart and when I do I do a windows update again and 
the update that I installed is listed as downloaded but not installed.

I have tried installing the sygate firewall but this does not work either.

I have tried logging on as user admin and this does nnot work either.

Running Adaware tells me there is no spyware apart from a few tracking cookies 
and I have corrected these errors.

Anyone any ideas what I can do?  it seems as though I have been denied 
permision to certain key parts of the system but I am not sure how to get them 
back.

Since this all happened I have changed the password on my account and router.

Regards

Graham
