Problem:
Over the course of the past 12 hours, my wife's computer (Dell 4550, WIN XP Home SP1+) seems to have been infected by what I believe may have been the Remote Code Execution exploit . The computer is behind a FW, has virus (NAV) & spyware (Counterspy) protection, security patches, hotfixes, etc.. I it also networked (via cable) with my computer to the internet (cable) through a 4 port router. My system was not affected.
Last night all was well. But this morning several MS programs produce the same error message, "Microsoft ® HTML Application host has encountered a problem and needs to close". We are sorry for the inconvenience...". The programs affected are IE6, OE6, Services, System Restore, User Accounts, NAV, etc. I also found the Remote Assitance box checked under System Properties, when I know I had unchecked it some time ago, and disabled the associated services. Presently, I can't access th internet, user accounts, or create new HD folders.
While following "the do this first steps", I found no mal or spyware. I did find FunWeb products & My Web Search Toolbar items that I removed - that did not affect (improve) the original problem. Since I can't go online with that computer, and NAV would not work, I removed NAV, D/Ld AVG, and ran their virus scan - none found.
I then used HJT. Here is the log file:
