Hey, I followed all your last steps & had no problems. The pc is running fine now, no issues so whether it was malware or not it is sorted. Thanks so much for all your help I really appreciate it!! K-Dog

Hey, Yes the netbook is running much smoother. No freezing problems for the last while anyhooo, it is starting up quicker & it actually accessed Windows Update today & downloaded & installed updates which it has been unable to do for months. I ran the last few scans you suggested & the results were as follows: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Results: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.50.1.1100 www.malwarebytes.org Database version: 5706 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 07/02/2011 22:40:32 mbam-log-2011-02-07 (22-40-32).txt Scan type: Quick scan Objects sc

Hey, Thanks again for all your help so far. I followed your last instructions, (& searched unsuccessfully for AVG & tried to disbale it but i got nowhere again). Ran combofix as you said, after draging and dropping the text above into it. The log is as follows: ComboFix 11-01-31.02 - miss madigan 04/02/2011 14:51:20.2.2 - x86 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.1.2600.3.1252.44.1033.18.1015.588 [GMT 0:00] Running from: c:\documents and settings\miss madigan\Desktop\schrauber.exe Command switches used :: c:\documents and settings\miss madigan\Desktop\CFScript.txt AV: AntiVir Deskto

Hi, I have followed these steps... firstly I disabled Avira (not a problem), then ComboFix said that AVG Free was running, which I thought it wasn't. I couldn't find a running AVG program, so I ran AVG removal tool, & ComboFix still said AVG was running. I assumed it was a glitch so I ran ComboFix (you will see from the report that it DOES say AVG is running, I just couldn't find the location). First few steps went fine, the Windows Recovery Console was not installed so it connected with the Microsoft site & downlaoded 100% but then didn't install the console. I don't know why thi

Hi again Tom, I got nowhere with the Rootkit Unhooker, basically i spent all night trying to get it going to no avail. It downloads fine, installed fine but when i clcik it to open a small box saying " Please wait a few seconds.... Initialising" appears & then nothing more happens. The computer totally freezes on that screen, cannot open anything else, the clock doesn't even change & i have to hold the power button to shut the pc down. I removed the program & installed another version but same thing happened. SO no results there for ya...

Hey Tom, Thanks for your response. Prior to your post I had run a spybot search & destroy scan but I won't run anything else until i have completed your instructions. The results of the OTL scan are as follows: OTL.Txt Extras.Txt

i have a netbook with Windows XP which has had some problems for a while. Freezing, slow to run, windows explorer takes approx. 5 mins to open when computer has started. Windows installer keeps popping up when random buttons are clicked. I cannot acces Windows update or manually install any updates. I cannot install AVG or another anti-virus as it always fails due to "another installation already in progress". I have managed to install tune up programs to no avail, & windows defender or one care scanner are not finding any viruses. Hijack this is my last resort. Hopefully someone ca
