Hi, I'm new here... anyway I've done everything (or so I know) in the "Do these first" section, and the Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger still pops up.

- CWShredder found nothing.
- Ditto with Ad-Aware SE, About:Buster and AVG Free.

I'm running XP Service Pack 2.

Interesting to note that the error only pops up when I'm connected to the net... dunno why that's the case.

Anyway, here's my latest HijackThis Log.

Oh, and the problem only popped up recently... around the time I switched to Firefox, but that may only be a coincidence.

Hi Metalingus

Please set your system to show all files; see here for how to do this if you're unsure.

Close all programs down, leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com/
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com
F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Update AutoUpdate Client Product] wuauct.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows Update AutoUpdate Client Product] wuauct.exe
O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe
O21 - SSODL: MSSQLMonitor - {15AC5378-6A6B-4590-B48B-BCA56085201F} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\mmsymmgr.dll
O21 - SSODL: MSTskMgr32 - {3E67CB09-19E3-4BE0-9A6B-51E895BE9211} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\mssirsfr.dll


Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Reboot into Safe Mode: see here if you don't know how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\mmsymmgr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mssirsfr.dll


Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look.

Hi Metalingus

Download the ccleaner
I use this Program and is setup like this all boxs are check.

Clean out all temp files in Mozilla, Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer: Tools/ Internet Options/ General/ Temporary internet files/ Delete Files (NOTE, that this may take very long!). You can also set the memory limit to about 80 MB at the Settings.

Mozilla: Edit/ Options/ Extended/ Cache/ Clear Cache

Turn of system restore
Disabling or enabling Windows XP System Restore

Defrag your hard drive turn system restore back on and create a new restore point.

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN :tazz:

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use). Click Here
QUOTE
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox user posted image.
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats. :thumbsup:

Kc ;)
