  7. Kind of in reverse order. Host Intrusion Prevention like System Safety Monitor or Kaspersky's Proactive Defense Module Yep..one note on the 'usage speech' I inluded...each time you save one of the results you need to change name else it will overwrite previous result--it does NOT append. I see in my previous reply some how my link for Blacklite didn't get included. http://www.f-secure.com/exclude/blacklight/index.shtml Then follow instruction in last post. Just make sure to get the GRAPHIC and not the commandline version. It's QUITE possible that your high CPU usage is NOW due to the fact

  10. Let's look a little deeper Download Combofix to your desktop. Doubleclick combofix.exe Follow the prompts. Don't click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang. When finished and after reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it should open a log, combofix.txt. Post this log in your next reply

Open HJT one final time and put a check mark next to O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [spywareBot] C:\Program Files\SpywareBot\SpywareBot.exe -boot O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [spywareBot] C:\Program Files\SpywareBot\SpywareBot.exe -boot Make ALL other programs and windows and click Fix Checked. At some time between now and till just after Reboot; Spybot's TeaTime is going to give you a warning about a change to the registry.....Make sure to ALLOW the change.

  14. actually if you are still having popup probs...let get a new one now.... What type of pops are you getiing specifically....ads for cleaning type of products or just random...non-related type popups?? Any info you can give will help us track it down..

Doubleclick combofix.exe Follow the prompts. Don't click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang. When finishe

  16. I have (in the past) upgraded skipping a version along the way. worked for me but prolly NOT the best method to use...I tend to agree with shanenin ..back up your /home/username and do a clean install then replace your home and you should be fine and lose no info that way.
  17. Log is actually looking really good, seems we may have done it with one fell swoop. I do have a couple of question about 2 of the programs you show installed. WinVNC4 Did you install this?? If so that's fine I just remember it (or a version of it) used to be installed by some trojans for THEIR manipulation of the computer. If YOU installed it and it's used properly/securly it's a fine program. SpywareBot...Not a lot of info specifically on this but many reference as "program of dubious origin". It seems it and another program that this is/was based on were, IN THE PAST, listed as rougue/s
  18. Well it does seem you've picked up an infection or two. You should print this out or copy it to Notepad for reading while doing the fix since you may NOT have IE or any other browser open during the fix, else the fix won't work. Please go to C:\Documents and Settings\snookedoggydog\Mes documents\Computers\Computer safety\HJT\ and right click on HijackThis.exe and rename to something like HJT or whatever you choose. You also have Tea-Timer running, which is a wonderful program, but it also will block our fix so we'll need to temporarily disable it till you are clean. Please disable TeaTimer fo
  19. Yeah what they said... HAPPY BIRTHDAY
  20. I'm still looking into the user switching....Please post a current HJT log. Sounds like you have been reinfected again..... we'll see... Which folder? Along with the HJT log please post the following also. Please download Rootkit Revealer (link is at the very bottom of the page) Unzip it to your desktop. Open the rootkitrevealer folder and double-click rootkitrevealer.exe Click the Scan button (bottom right) It may take a while to scan (don't do anything while it's running) When it's done, go up to File > Save. Choose to save it to your desktop. Open rootkitrevealer.txt on your deskto
  21. Please download Look2Me-Destroyer to your desktop. Close all windows before continuing. Double-click Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to run it. Put a check next to Run this program as a task. You will receive a message saying Look2Me-Destroyer will close and re-open in approximately 1 minute.

  22. First of all, you will need to print out this post and/or save a copy as a text file in Notepad; that way you have a hard copy of these instructions; you can not have IE/Firefox/any browser open during the fix. You've got a couple of different major infections so it may take a few steps to clean up..just follow the post as written without skipping any steps and we'll get thought it just fine. Download Brute Force Uninstaller to your desktop Unzip it to a folder of its own (C:\BFU). BFU needs to be on your root. In most cases this is C:\Help with unzipping files is HERE [*]Right click on
  23. Well I don't see anything out of line there...I'll look a little deeper into the user switching issue..... In the mean time would you do me a favor? Create a NEW user..set to administrator and see if you can switch user with the NEW account.
  24. It MAY have to do with your running services, I'll take a look at those when you post again... Those are "saved" virusessessssess (virii) in your SystemRestore..we'll clean those out in one of your final steps. They are of NO consquence UNLESS you do a system restore. They can't be activated OR cleaned as they are now. Good choice in MY opinion. NO... WinXP sp2 has a built in firewall, which will protet you against things comming IN to your computer. A personal Firewall such as Zone Alarm...Kerio...Sygate etc will protect both incomming and OUTGOING connections. More on this issue HERE
  25. First of all, you will need to print out this post and/or save a copy as a text file in Notepad; that way you have a hard copy of these instructions; you can not have IE/Firefox/any browser open during the fix Please stick with one thread. You are running two(or more) Anti-Virus programs..while one is a MUST have...running more than one is NEVER ACCEPTABLE. They will 'battle' for control of your system and resources; causing slowdown, errors and shut down. I see you have installed AVG7 since last post.....In my opinion this is a GREAT choice..it uses much less resources than MacAfee. You need
