It's running perfectly. Thanks again!

Please disregard my last post, it is now working! You're the man!

I ran it successfully, but unfortunately I still can't connect to the internet.

Hi, The computer still has some problems. When I try to use the ReG-Backup feature with winsockxpfix, it gives me this message: error saving file c:\erdnt\security. If I continue on to the next file, it keeps giving me the same error message for every file. So what I did was, I saved a new system restore point and then proceeded to run the winsockxpfix. Unfortunately, I still can't connect to the internet, even after resetting the connection settings. Also, my computer is still taking a long time to boot up, and I've noticed that the taskbar at the bottom of the screen periodically "blinks". I

The Anti-Malware scan found 34 infections, and was able to fix them all. But I still can't seem to connect to the internets.

Update: For the first time in 3 or 4 days I got the computer to successfully boot into normal mode. I can't connect to the internet at all in normal mode. I also got two error messages while booting up. Windows had an error loading these two files, because they could not be found: c:\windows\system32\aewchmtc.dll c:\windows\system32\hxpqbkwj.dll And I was able to do a scan using hijackthis in normal mode: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 12:27:53 PM, on 5/11/2008 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180) Boot mode: Norma

Hello, My computer is seriously screwed up. It can no longer boot up in normal mode, only safe mode.

So I can't do anything at all if I boot in normal mode. There are 2 saved system restore points, but when it tries to load them, the same thing happens, just a blank desktop. I don't know how this is happening, because the computer was working (at least mostly) fine on the days that the system restore points were

Ok, my computer is seriously screwed up. It can no longer boot up in normal mode, only safe mode. When I try to boot in normal mode there is just my desktop with the background picture and the cursor, but no other icons, and no start menu, taskbar, or anything else. I don't know if it's possible to fix this computer while only working in safe mode.

Before the problem became this severe, the computer was badly infected with malware. It had win32trojandownloader.agent, and sever
