Computer just started giving me these errors after it messed up while using WMP and then froze so i reboot the computer then wouldn't load everything and my network connection icon in the task bar no longer shows up either...

Apparently my disc defrag and other things aren't working either

Post exact error, please.

[Corwin_Trueblood]

I think I fixed it but now I am getting:

Windows cannot find 'RECYCLERS\S-1-8-75-100014935-100029681-100019658-8479.com Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.

I get this error when i try to open the C:\ etc in my computer

[Broni]

For now, download, and run Autorun Eater: http://www.softpedia...run-Eater.shtml
but.....

I suggest that you start a new topic in the Malware Removal - HiJackThis™ Logs Go Here area.

using that program worked its not doing that anymore

Not sure how i would of gotten malware only use the computer for music and download through Vuze.... guess Vuze could of gave it to me

Thanks for the help should i still do the malware topic?

[Broni]

The check is free. Better safe, than sorry, right?

[Corwin_Trueblood]

Yeah it is I just wonder how it happened especially since i formatted and installed the C:\

[Broni]

Look, I'm not gonna argue here.
If you think, your computer is fine, fine.
If it was me, I'd double check, so....all up to you.

[Corwin_Trueblood]

trying to double check but I can't get the malware program to run after installing it.... plus my anti virus program won't update

[Broni]

I strongly suspect, your computer IS infected, then.
Try to rename malware program, you're running.
If that doesn't help, ask people at malware forum.

[Corwin_Trueblood]

Yeah it looks that way to me as well

[Broni]

You didn't want to believe me...LOL

[Corwin_Trueblood]

Never said I didn't believe you

Just haven't had anything survive a complete format before like this

[Broni]

It depends, what happened right after format. If you connected computer to the net before you put any firewall up....it takes only minutes to compromise unprotected computer. I know, because it happened to me, and I was even behind router firewall.

[Corwin_Trueblood]

Yeah behind a router firewall as well thought i put up the firewall right away though just wish i could get the malware remover programs to work i've tried 2 one installs but won't run the other won't install
