We have a frustrating one. Originally, we noticed the notorious balloon popup associated with hclean32:
And Norton AntiVirus detects the hclean32 on each reboot. So we ran a NAV scan and NAV repeatedly fails at the following folder and then crashes:
So, the following steps we tried and all failed:
1. Reboot in safe mode, perform NAV scan again, it still crashes
2. Disabled System Restore, perform NAV scan, it still crashes
3. Performed Ad-aware scan, it too crashes at the same directory
4. Performed SpyBot scan, it too crashes
5. Opened Windows Explorer, it crashes on the Content.IE5 folder:
6. Tried deleting this folder from a DOS shell, it crashed
7. Booted off the XP CD into Recovery Console, could not access this directory
8. Ran CleanUp! from your website, it too crached at the same folder.
Here is the HijackThis log. Are there any other suggestions I should try to delete this pesky directory? Would you agree that our attempts to delete those temp internet files is the next step? Do you think we will have this same problem if we tried deleting the directory using an NTFS for DOS utility???
Thanks for your help! You guys rock!
