Polall1r virus

Hi,
My laptop keeps getting a box come up at startup giving an error message saying that polall1r.exe can't be copied.
Seems I have a virus.
I have read some past threads and tried to get rid of it but I need some help please.
I have downloaded and updated Ad-aware SE and also HijackThis.
I emptied the windows temp folder in safe mode and then run HijackThis.
It came up with this log.

Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.2

I have also tried to restore to an earlier time before the virus while in safe mode but it wont restore.

Can someone tell me the lines above that i have to get HijackThis to fix please or any other way to get rid of the polall1r.exe virus.

By the way, I use AVG Virus software but it didn't catch this one.
I have since bought and run Adwarespy but that also didn't get rid of polall1r.exe

Thanks. Daveg4

Its back.

The housecall detected and got rid of the virus and when I started the laptop next it started without any trouble.
Unfortunatly when my wife started it this morning the virus is back.
It is actually her laptop and she is to busy on it to let me look at it again, she seems quite happy to continue using it with a virus. I think she will be fed up soon though as my firewall on my computer which I have activated is stopping her using my printer. Ha. I dont usually have the firewall on as there is a built in firewall in our router, but until she gets rid of that virus my wall is staying up.
As the laptop was cleaned be it only for an evening, any ideas how to make sure it doesn't come back?

You should really consider the idea of running your antivirus and malware scans in safemode with system restore disabled.
Have a read here for why and how you should do this.
http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=115633
If you do not have an upto date antivirus you can start the machine in "safe mode with networking" that will allow you to connect to the Housecall site and do the scans in safe mode.

Tried safe mode

I tried as sugested starting in safe mode after disabling restore, running housecall anti virus and addware but no good.
The antivirus identified the newly copied thi1fee.tmp in temp file and the polall1r.exe virus.
Got rid of them and restarted.
Got the error box come up again saying cannot copy into temp\thi1fee.tmp
The only thing i can think of is this is a boot sector virus in the reg that the virus detectors dont show.
