It's so bad, I can't access the internet from home to access the download links provided in the "You Must Read This Before Posting A Hijackthis Log, Required steps before posting your log" folder.

I updated my MacAfee, and it asked me to restart my computer, like it normally does after an update. Ever since I restarted. I cannot access the internet from home. I know something is using all my bandwith. I have run the virus scan and Spybot S & D and have discovered and removed (??):

Downloader KL
Adware-abetterintrnt
DSO Exploit

Somehow I still cannot gain access to the internet or email. Here's my latest log:

Get a copy of winsockxpfix.exe before you do anything. This is just a safety
item in case you can't get on the internet afterwards. You just run it and
things should work OK after it reboots your system. It will fit on a floppy and you can run it from the floppy too.

http://www.iup.edu/h...net/winfix.shtm



Now shutdown and reboot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when you see the PC
maker's logo.
Keep tapping until it tells you it is going to Safe Mode or you see the Safe
Mode menu. Select the top option.

Run HijackThis and just do a Scan only. Check then Fix
Checked the following:

Wait 60 seconds and repeat the scan. Did any of the above come back? IF so
leave HijackThis up and right click on the clock and select Task Manager. Then
Processes. Find Explorer.exe, right click on it and select End Process. The
desktop will disappear but HijackThis should still be there. IF you don't see
it switch to Applications in Task Manager and highlight it there then press
Switch To or just double click on it. Check and Fix Checked the above again.
Restart Explorer by Task Manager, File, New Task(Run), explorer.exe, OK.


Reboot into normal mode and run another HijackThis log and send it to me. Let's
see how we did.

If you still can't get on the internet run the winxpfix.exe.

I should mention that your system is what we call a sitting duck. You have not ungraded from the basic original XP. You should at least get SP1 and the security updates. http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Make sure your firewall is working before you try to go to the internet again. These are massive updates so you need a fast link or you should order the cd from Microsoft. A dialup would take all night if it worked.

Thanks Ron

The benefits of being able to go home to lunch...

I did what you said and removed the check items in Safe Mode. When I rebooted in normal mode, none of the checked items came up. That's good.

As far as the internet is concerned (I still can't get on), where do I find winxpfix.exe?

[RKinner]

Spyware appears to be gone.

If you go to the link in the first post and click on the blue WinsockXP.exe it will start downloading or you can go directly to:

http://www.iup.edu/h...insockXPFix.exe

Save it to a floppy. It will just fit. Take it home and stick it in your PC and run it.

Start, Run, a:\winsockxpfix.exe, OK

Ron,

I am emailing you from home.

Can't thank you enough for all of your help.

You were quick and you figured out everything promptly.

Success!

Thank you again.
