I'm having some bizaare problems, but, was wondering if anything was causing a problem,like a monitor going off, where I have to reboot system to get monitor back. It does this maybe 4x a week. seems really random.
And also havea right click problem in explorer.

But who knows whats the cause of tehse problems.

[coachwife6]

I want you to read this concerning trusted zones (from bleepingcomputer.com) and then you can decide whether you want to delete them:

Internet Explorer's security is based upon a set of zones. Each zone has different security in terms of what scripts and applications can be run from a site that is in that zone. There is a security zone called the Trusted Zone. This zone has the lowest security and allows scripts and applications from sites in this zone to run without your knowledge. It is therefore a popular setting for malware sites to use so that future infections can be easily done on your computer without your knowledge as these sites will be in the Trusted Zone..

Which key, Domains or Ranges, is used by Internet Explorer is determined by the URL that the user is trying to reach. If the URL contains a domain name then it will search in the Domains subkeys for a match. If it contains an IP address it will search the Ranges subkeys for a match. When domains are added as a Trusted Site or Restricted they are assigned a value to signify that. If they are assigned a *=4 value, that domain will be entered into the Restricted Sites zone. If they are given a *=2 value, then that domain will be added to the Trusted Sites zone.

Adding an IP address works a bit differently. Under the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges key you may find other keys called Ranges1, Ranges2, Ranges3, Ranges4,... Each of these subkeys correspond to a particular security zone/protocol. If you add an IP address to a security zone, Windows will create a subkey starting with Ranges1 and designate that subkey as the one that will contain all IP addresses of a particular security zone for a particular protocol. For example, if you added http://192.168.1.1 as a trusted sites, Windows would create the first available Ranges key (Ranges1) and add a value of http=2. Any future trusted http:// IP addresses will be added to the Range1 key. Now if you added an IP address to the Restricted sites using the http protocol (ie. http://192.16.1.10), Windows would create another key in sequential order, called Range2. This would have a value of http=4 and any future IP addresses added to the restricted sites will be placed in that key. This continues on for each protocol and security zone setting combination.

If you ever see any domains or IP addresses listed here you should generally remove it unless it is a recognizable URL such as one your company uses. The most common listing you will find here are free.aol.com which you can have fixed if you want. I personally remove all entries from the Trusted Zone as they are ultimately unnecessary to be there."


You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure.

Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.runescape.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.jagex.com

Please delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself) like for example
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
C:\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\
Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select delete all offline content.

Reboot and post a fresh log.

Thanks for the tips, and I did what you asked.
Hopefully it will help.
Also, what do you know about the 'R0 tags?'

R0 is for Internet Explorers starting page and search assistant.

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use) Click Here.

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox .
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.

[Soul Bleed]

Well, I use spyblaster, so thats cool.
My systems up to date at Microsoft.

I run ie explorer for cybertown since no other browser runs well there and usually crashes. I found Sun's Java to be a troublesome component, and I been thru many different versions of it with w98. It happens to run really quirky with a PII.
Microsoft's java, is much better and less buggy, surprisingly. I will use Microsoft for this instance.
I have tried Opera, Mozilla, Firefox, MyIE2, and others.
But will stick with ie explorer since it actually runs the best.

On hijack this I been using it for a while now, I just put it all on ignore.

But thanks for the suggestions..

My PC Monitor still shuts off sometimes, and it seems to do it when I multitask.

[Soul Bleed]

My monitor occassionally still does this, and only way to get it back is a ctrl-a;t-del, reboot. But sometimes it can be annoying.
I unplugged the cable to the graphics card and was able to turn on the monitor. But as soon as I replugged it in, it would shut the monitor off.
So, does this mean its a graphics card or windows control problem?
I think doing that eliminated the monitor as the problem.
