Hey guys, I'm having a lot of problems with my computer. First off, there is this constant pop-up for windows installer, and I just cant get rid of it. Every time I hit cancel, it says its cancelling and just stays. I have done a system restore to before it was there, and still it pops up. And no, there is no CD in the drive. I think it may have stemmed from some external bluetooth and software I installed, but still I uninstalled it completely and its still there. This is one of many problems that occur, such as the taskbar disappears, I can see the taskbar but nothing stores on it, etc. I have an anti-virus program (symantec anti-virus) provided for me by the university, but its now disabled (for no apparent reason!). Also, I still cant install that external bluetooth without it messing up my entire pc the second I restart. I am running Windows XP on a laptop which I recently purchased off eBay. I am starting to rage, and often contemplate throwing my computer against the wall, so any help and advice would be much appreciated. Also, I am not great with computers, so please spell it out for me if possible. Thanks again guys. Here's the Hijack this log:

Hi I looked at your hijackthis log and in my personal opinion there doesnt seem to be anything to be wrong but you should get a second opinion from a administrator or trusted tech, if this turns out to be a malware problem you need to post this in the malware section in the forums.

[sgibbs]

yeah, theres defintely something wrong but I posted it in malware as well, hopefully someone will help me.

[bobletman]

I ran a quick check on your hijack this log and there seems to be no malware on it, if you do have malware hijack this isnt finding it.

[sgibbs]

I think i know partially what it is. I usually use firefox so i didnt notice, but every time i open a new window in internet explorer it pops up, and the window takes forever to pop up. HOWEVER, this is not the only cause of it. sometimes it iwll just pop up...hope this helps

-Gibbs

[bobletman]

run an ad-aware scan, spybot and avg anti-spyware and see if they find anything

[sgibbs]

Ive tried all but spybot so far. Will do, i'll tell u how it goes. thanks

-Gibbs

[bobletman]

try running panda scan as well

[sgibbs]

Tried spybot, no changes. Will try the panda scan. where do I get that from?

-Gibbs

[bobletman]

just google panda scan you need to use internet explorer to run it and let active x be installed on your computer

[sgibbs]

Thanks, only problem is internet explorer isnt working for it. I can open the site, but i cant initiate the scan. this whole situation is driving me crazy....i never knew how frustrating just one laptop could possibly be! How else could I get panda scan to work?

-Gibbs

[bobletman]

Do you know why it wont run? When you try and run it right below your toolbar a message should appear saying it is blocking active x you should tell it to install it and then it should initiate.

hello and welcome, to g's2go.

hopefully you have this resolved by now, however if you are still having issues and suspect that it is malware related I would start with our malware forum and see if they can make sure you don't have any malware installed.
