Ok, fix these in HiJackThis for now:

O9 - Extra button: ComcastHSI - {669B269B-0D4E-41FB-A3D8-FD67CA94F646} - http://www.comcast.net/ (file missing)
O9 - Extra button: Support - {8828075D-D097-4055-AA02-2DBFA9D85E8A} - http://www.comcastsupport.com/ (file missing)
O9 - Extra button: Help - {97809617-3937-4F84-B335-9BB05EF1A8D4} - http://online.comcast.net/help/ (file missing)

Check them for removal, close ALL open windows except for HiJackThis and hit FIX CHECKED. Reboot. There's one more entry I really don't like, but I'm not sure how to go about taking care of it. I will have an reply tomorrow for you, if not later today, please be patient with me. :tazz:

Could you also post a fresh log after fixing those 09's.

Rawe,

I went ahead and fixed that AOL enrty in HJT. Here is the fresh log.
The system seems pretty clean. Im not sure why the log in screen is still missing at boot up. Is there an option to enable it or does the log in screen always come up in XP?

Not sure about the entry at-all -- :tazz:

Please download WebRoot SpySweeper from HERE (It's a 2 week trial):
  • Click the Free Trial link on the right - next to "SpySweeper for Home Computers" to download the program.
  • Double-click the file to install it as follows:

    • Leave the default installation directoy as it is, then click "Next".

    • On the following screen you can leave the e-mail address field blank, if you wish. Click "Next".
    • Finally, click "Install"
  • Once the program is installed, it will open.
  • It will prompt you to update to the latest definitions, click Yes.
    Disable SpySweeper Shields
    • Click Shields on the left.
    • Click Internet Explorer and uncheck all items.
    • Click Windows System and uncheck all items.
    • Click Startup Programs and uncheck all items.

Hi Rawe,

I wanted to thank you for all your help. The log in screen didnt appear after boot up because there was no password set for the user. My bad...:tazz: I think everything is running smooth. We will see.

Unfortanately I have to return this PC today, so I just wanted to say thanks. I learned alot from all your suggestions. I have my personal PC to clean up next. I think I will be able to bang out most of the junk. I probably will still need help to decipher which HJT entrys to fix. I hope I can count on you malware amsters for help.

Cheers,

Hollandz

Fix this entry in HiJackThis:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SNInstall] C:\winstall.exe

If you need some more suggestions..

Here's some tips for future to prevent spyware;

Detect and Remove Programs:
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
Prevention Programs:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed. (My favourite)
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
Other necessary Programs:
  • AntiVirus Program <= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kaspersky, this is a must have.
  • Firewall <= A firewall is definatley a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.
  • More Secure Browser <= Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox.
And also see TonyKlein's good advice;
So how did I get infected in the first place? (My favourite)
