Please help me and thanks in advance! Obviously I need help! Maybe a week ago, my IE started having some minor problems, nothing big and everything else was fine. Then, Sun, when I started IE a message box popped up warning me about my security settings, etc. I was told ActiveX wouldn't be allowed with these settings, I needed it so I went to Tools-Internet Options-Security, and voila, my zones are a blank box and my little lever is on custom but no info is viewable. When I click to change this, the comp freezes, pops up with IE has encountered an error box and must close, then Dr. Watson's PostMortem Debugger has encountered and error and must close. I restarted the comp and tried again, same thing. So I do a little research about this Dr. Watson and it seems he is a sign of a virus or something bad. Meanwhile, my comp is progressively getting worse, when it starts up it pops up with a bunch of chinese/japanese symbols that are apparently the name of a program and says it can't be found. Then when I start IE, some sites seem to be forbidden, it won't let me search on Google, won't let me access my webmail (error message says cookies are forbidden from being sent/received on my settings, which are screwed up), if I try to do an online virus scan, comp freezes, try to login anywhere, I can't, etc. and good old Dr. Watson still pops up reliably. So I followed some advice, started in safe mode, scanned with Ad-Aware, which found only a couple of cookies, then with Spy-Bot, which found a few pretty harmless programs that I removed, then scanned with Avast in normal mode, found nothing, then I did a boot-time scan, which found 37 viruses/malware things, which it deleted. The problem seemed to be solved for about 10 mins, then everything was back to normal. So I started in Selective startup using MSCONFIG, which the virus doesn't seem to affect me when I do this (only system services running) and do some more research, d/l Killbox and HiJack This, start the comp in normal mode and run HiJack this. Saved my log, and now I will post it since I'm back in selective mode. I REALLY need your help, I'm totally lost and ready to throw the comp out the window! I need step-by-step instructions since I can be slow. Thanks so much!
