Dear Geekstogo,

I wonder if you could help me. I've been trying to fix my aunts computer and I thought I wouldn't have to much trouble with it, however things are in complete chaos on her computer.

She has all the nescesarry antivirus programs installed like Grisoft antivirus, Symantec and norton. But none of them work! They stop functioning during installation or can't be executed if they're already installed. I tried opening them from their respective folders, but the folder-explorer vanishes when I try to get into them. Same thing with spybot search and destroy and a number of other malware removal programs. Internet seems to be impaired as well, since I can't open the geekstogo webpage on her computer, nor can I enter my own hotmail account. The only page it seems to open is google and a number of other searchpages.. internet explorer just vanishes when I try to open anything else. Messenger also won't start up. I've never seen anything this bad. Basically there is little to nothing she can do with her computer now.

I was able to download hijackthis and copy the file to a floppy (nero seems to have been irrepairably damaged, so no cd-burning). I hope there is something you can help me with because it seems the only thing we can think of is to do a complete reinstall.

Here is my Hijackthislog:
