[sheezes]

i could not find C:\WINDOWS\System32\hqpzkqx.exe. through APT

[tampabelle]

Hi,

It happens sometimes that you wont find the entries pointed out. This happens because different infections can display similar symptoms but need to be fixed in different ways.

Please continue with the fix to the extent possible.

After completing the fix, please post the required logs and let me know of any deviations. I will then decide how to proceed

[sheezes]

thanks so much for your help!!

Hi Sheezes,

I seemed to missed this earlier.


The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP, or Service Pack 4 if you are running Win2k. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.

Click here

Apply the update, reboot, and post a fresh Hijack This log.

[sheezes]

ok hopefully i did this right. sorry about that. thanks again.

Hi,

Did you have any problems in getting the SP1a installed ????

[sheezes]

oh hi! umm i downloaded security updates from windows, then it restarted, i was going to dl the service pack1,unless it was with the security updates, but i had to go so i didn't check if the security updates also included the SP1. i tried to turn on my laptop this morning and it says "Non-System disk or error replace and strike any key when ready". i never had a disk in there, and so i pressed any key to ignore it and my computer won't load into normal mode. it just stays there with that message. anything i could do to fix it?

Edited by sheezes, 16 August 2005 - 11:18 AM.

[tampabelle]

Do you have one PC or two ???

[sheezes]

I'm using a laptop, which is the one that i wanted to stop the malware and then installed security updates, but i do have another computer that's a PC.

Edited by sheezes, 16 August 2005 - 12:54 PM.

[tampabelle]

So the laptop is the one for which you posted the HJT log earlier and tried to install SP1a ??? and it is now refusing to boot up ???

[sheezes]

yes to all of your questions, is there something wrong???

[tampabelle]

Do you have Windows CD ???? It has to be the same version of Windows XP (i.e. Home or Pro as was previously installed).


We need to do a Repair Install of Windows on your laptop. Please do not start the Repair Install. I will give you detailed instructions on how to do the repair install.
