Hello. When I'm working on someting (mainly in internet explorer or msn) - My windows will randomely close or lose focus.

I ran adaware, Registry-Fix, TDS-3, SpySubtract, and a virus scan - and I'm still getting the problem. These programs fixed a few of my other error messages but windows still close or lose focus at randome. Here is my Hijack log. Thanks.

Welcome stephen_hayne to Geeks to Go!

You are running HijackThis from its zipped archive; please create a new folder for it and unzip the program into it. It is very important you do this before anything else!

***

Download Pocket Killbox.
Unzip the files to a folder like c:\killbox\
Don't run the program, we'll do that later.

***

Open HijackThis
Go to ‘config’
Go to ‘misc tools’
Press ‘open process manager’
Select the process, press ‘kill process’ (and repeat this if necessary):
ptask.exe
press ‘back’ and 'scan'.

***

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

O2 - BHO: SDWin32 Class - {F3E8BFE7-D6F6-4897-B745-2AA9228D7CEA} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\otvns.dll (file missing)

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BDF6CE3D-F5C5-4462-9814-3C8EAC330CA8} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Parallel Tasking] C:\Program Files\Parallel Tasking\ptask.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [xdopk] C:\WINDOWS\System32\xdopk.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [233g39i] msfbr.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [J0smRVG7W] mscptdlg.exe

O9 - Extra button: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\Program Files\PartyPoker\PartyPoker.exe

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\Program Files\PartyPoker\PartyPoker.exe

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

****Restart the computer.
*as soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
*Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode menu item
*press Enter.
***

Delete the following folders:

C:\Program Files\Parallel Tasking\

C:\Program Files\PartyPoker\

***

Run Killbox (doubleclick Killbox.exe).

Run it, and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot. For each of the files you could not delete, paste them one at a time into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.

The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say No each time until the last one has been pasted in whereupon you should answer Yes.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\xdopk.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msfbr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mscptdlg.exe
Let the system reboot.

***

Please do an online scan, 2 would be better,

Trend Micro Housecall
Panda online scan

Make sure that you choose "fix" or "clean".

***

Reboot the computer and post back in this topic using 'add reply'.

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nhut] C:\WINDOWS\system32\nhut.exe

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.neededware.com

O16 - DPF: NDWCab - http://www.neededware.com/NDWCab.CAB

O16 - DPF: {88D758A3-D33B-45FD-91E3-67749B4057FA} (Sinstaller Class) - http://dm.screensave.../sinstaller.cab[/B]

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

***

Reboot into Safe Mode.

***

Run Killbox (doubleclick Killbox.exe).

Run it, and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot. For the file you in the box, paste it into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nhut.exe
The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say Yes.

***

Let the system reboot.

Post back here with a fresh log. How are things now?
