I have recently come down with this problem where I noted that the outgoing data on my dial-up connection was vastly higher than what I was downloading. Since I hadn't been sending files or pictures, I figured that I had a virus or malware.

I checked out the suggested programs, and I cleaned up the extraneous files. I ran Spybot and I ran a virus scan thus far.

I am still getting the empty dos box/window calling for cmd.exe. I have multiple occurences of svchost and I think my AVG scanner is either not working properly or it has been disabled by a virus or malware. The window doesn't always go away on it's own, and the opening of the black window is also accompanied by the opening of a browser. Fortunately, I am using Firefox as my default browser so the address calling for an update doesn't continue in Firefox.

Presently I'm running XP Pro, SP1.

Here is the Hijack This log that was generated after the initial stages of clean up:

Hi and welcome go Geeks to Go. Start by working your way through the malware removal guide at the top of this forum where it says "Do you suspect a malware (Spyware, Virus, Trojan) infection?
