This is my first attempt with GTG, however, I have mucked with this issue for tens of hours now - rebooting, turning off sys restore, safe mode - running battery of prog.s against disk (AdAware SE, AVG Anti-Virus, CWShredder v2.14, current spybot version, etc...

I use AOL. When I start up my computer, the first double click I do launches AOL automatically (even though I may be dbl clicking My Computer). Then AOL freezes up my whole system. I tried uninstalling all files like AOL, an then reinstalling from CDROM, but problem perists.

The SE.dll is a recurrent problem - but maybe I have more.

Need help, badly.

Hi, trickedagain. Welcome to Geeks to Go!

Before moving on to HJT, let's see if we can remove any of those findings. If not, we'll move your entire thread to that forum for the HJT experts to take over.

If you would like to clean your machine, please click on the gear to access the Configuration Menu. Click on Tweak > Cleaning Engine > UNcheck "Always try to unload modules before deletion". Then, please follow the steps listed below.

Run CCleaner to assist in this process. [D/L CCleaner] (Setup: go to >options > settings > Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours" for cleaning malware files!).1. C:\Windows\Temp\
2. C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ <=This will delete all your cached internet content including cookies.
3. C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
4. C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
5. C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
6. Empty your "Recycle Bin".
Let's run Ad-Aware SE just a bit differently, using the command line below:1. Click "Start" > select "Run" > type the text shown in bold below (including the quotation marks and with the same spacing as shown)

"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal\Ad-Aware.exe" +procnuke

Click OK.

Note: The path above (between the quotes) is the default location of Ad-Aware SE, if this has been changed by the user, please adjust it to the location that they have installed it to.

For Ad-Aware SE Personal, you will need to select the Full Scan when the GUI launches.

2. When the scan has completed, select Next.
3. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary" tab.
4. Check the box next to each "target family" you wish to remove.
5. Click next, Click OK.
6. Shutdown/restart. Do not open any other programs
7. Launch Ad-Aware SE and run another full scan.
8. Please post the results as a reply unless critical objects are found, in which case, please follow the instructions below.
If additional critical objects are found, please do the following: 1. Restart the computer in Safe Mode ( http://service1.syma...001052409420406 )
2. Launch Ad-Aware SE and click Start and choose the Scan volume for ADS
3. Click "Select" and click on the C:\ so all folders are checked
4. Uncheck "Search for negligible risk entries"
5. Scan and again select all critical objects found that you wish to remove
6. Shutdown/restart and run another full scan, posting the results as a reply.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you.
