You didn't do everything on the "read this before posting" thread! We need you to download Service Pack 1a. Click here: http://www.microsoft...p1/default.mspx
Apply the update, reboot, and post a fresh Hijack This log.

[NocTeRnOsPiRiTeD]

oh yeah, forgot to tell you, when i wanted to install service pack 1a, it said something about c:\windows\system32\ and some system program is either open or being used by another program. And when i want to install service pack 2, they said i have an invalid id. do you know any other ways to approach this problem?

[NocTeRnOsPiRiTeD]

I tried it again for the third time, still didn't install.. error box saying: "The file c:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys is open or in use by another application. Close all other application and then Retry." I quitted every program i was running and it still didn't work, maybe it was a certain process that's running but i don't no which one to end process to. Thanks.

[NocTeRnOsPiRiTeD]

EDIT: i tried installing it in safe mode and now i realized i purchased a pirated version of windows xp. is there anything i can do besides installing the service packs.

[Michelle]

Ah, I see. Hmmm, I strongly recommend getting a real version of XP because without the Service Packs your computer is wide open to re-infection. I'll see what we can do.

[NocTeRnOsPiRiTeD]

yeah, well too bad i can't buy another computer until this one wears down so i can't get a real version til next time. I hope this will teach me to make sure i get the real deal next time i make a purchase, thanks for your help.

[Dragon]

hi I will help you to get your system clean so you can at least get SP1a.

First off please do the following

To clean some of it out already, please download Spybot: Search and Destroy from http://www.safer-net...?page=download . Check for Updates first, download ALL Updates and Do a Scan. When finished, make sure ALL RED items have been ticked, and click the "Fix Selected Problems" Button.

I'd Also Recommend you Download AdAware, Another good Antispyware Program From http://www.lavasoftu...port/download/ . Install The Program and Run it. Make Sure You Click the "Check for Updates" Button before starting a scan. Do a scan on AdAware and Remove Everything it suggests.

Next post a fresh Hijack this log

[NocTeRnOsPiRiTeD]

umm..i already did that already.. the thing i didn't do was dl sp1 and sp2 becuz i brought a pirated version of xp.. oh well. nonetheless here's the hi jack log.. i went to that author site about hijackthis log and which to delete and deleted some.. let's see what else is bothering ..

thia is why you can't download SP1a.

look over the Following Entries I have listed, run Hijack This again and check them and then, making sure you have No Internet Explorer Windows open, including this one, Press the "Fix Checked" Button with HijackThis.

Reboot If I have specified below, and Post a Fresh HijackThis log.

R3 - URLSearchHook: URLSearchHook Class - {37D2CDBF-2AF4-44AA-8113-BD0D2DA3C2B8} - C:\Program Files\NZSearch\SearchEnh2.dll
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Qdnk] C:\WINDOWS\System32\w?auclt.exe

After this, Reboot and Delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\w?auclt.exe

Note: Make sure you have Set Windows to show Hidden Files & Folders before you Start Sending Them to us For Analysis, or you're deleting them. This can be done by looking at the instructions at This Webpage http://www.xtra.co.n...1916458,00.html

To Delete These Files/Folders, You Will need to Boot into Safe Mode. This can be done by tapping F8 while your machine restarts.
