Alright, there was an additional entry added to my startup via registry; MSServer rundll32.exe C:\Users\Dylan\AppData\Local\Temp\byxwu.dll,#1 Also, I cannot remove this file from temp.. MSServer c:\users\dylan\appdata\local\temp\byxwu.dll Whenever I attempt to remove or disable the registry key it returns, and it will not let me delete the file in my temp folder. Any suggestions Acidic

Hey, it worked! I'm surprised I never thought of that before, too strange it worked absolutely fine on vista until very recently Just FYI DEP is a bit harder to locate in Vista versus XP;Start > Run > Control Panel > System > Change Settings > Advanced TAB > Settings > Data Execution Prevention TAB Acidic

Not to worry, I already figured it out. Scanning has been in progress for perhaps half an hour now. Phew, hope its done soon Should be good.. I scan with Avast and AVG every day o_0Acidic Edit: Forget to mention, I'm scanning with F-Secure Online Virus Scanner Version 3.2 beta.. hope it'll do the trick

Hellllllo! I attached a thumbnail Enjoy, Acidic

Alright, I've already removed all that junk with Hijack this(services could not be removed it seems, so i did that manually ). Rebooted in SafeMode, although could not find Windows Sidebar in the Add/Remove Programs list. As if to make it worst, my system will not allow me to delete the directory in Program Files. Okay then, onto the next procedure.. I visited the online virus scanner and run into yet another collision, I'm prompted to install several ActiveX IE add-ons and such..yes..yes.. Click accept, prompted with another error dialog; --------------------------- Windows Internet Explorer

Yes, sir. I also took a quick look at the FAQ on their support website.. no luck to my dismay Hehe, sorry for so much trouble but do you think its alright to also remove the following? R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157 R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName = R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://go.micr

Good point, and thank you for the quick reply. Is it safe to proceed? Acidic ^^ btw check out snippet at the bottom of my previous post ^^

Thank you for your high level of professionalism, although I should mention something before we press on. Several of the startup programs you suggested to remove I use on occasion.. Thanks for your time,Acidic Edit: I'm hoping you have some knowledge of SpywareBlaster, experiencing some difficulties.. I've been using it since I bought this notebook in late September without a problem, but only a few weeks ago it refused to launch. I've tried re-install/Run as Administrator, turning off UAC off, etc. Any suggestions?

Your thoughts on the subject please, keeping in mind I'm more of a minimalist Anything a tad bit excessive is trash.
