Hi,


This computer had a lot of viruses and malware/adware installed prior to this log.

After running Spybot, AVG, Adaware and Windows Defender and installing comodo Firewall Pro, they all finally stated there was no residual problems.

I tried to run Trend Micro online scan but it would not connect to the Trend Micro page and had to download hijackthis from another source.

The computer cannot connect to Windows update, and search pages (like google and live.com) redirect to random advertisement pages.

Also, I tried to update to Internet Explorer 7 and Windows XP SP3 but I could not get to the pages.

Finally, the start menu and the My computer were missing all their icons, they have all come back apart from the C drive (the only hard drive) and the log off button.

Here is a hijackthis log:
