I formatted my hard drive a few days and re-installed XP. Of course as soon as I plugged my ehternet cable in I was bombarded with every form of worm and spyware out there. I tried to install Windows Updates and Mc Afee updates ASAP but I lost the race. It took only a matter of seconds. Anyway I was able to remove most of it, but something is still there. After being on the interenet for about 10 minutes strange things happen. Pictures are not able to be displayed then things get worse until I get a blank page and have to re-start to get back on. Plus my ethernet light on my modem is blinking wildly. This tells me something very bad is happening. I've tried every free spyware remover and this keeps happening. Occasionly Ad-Aware picks up DyFuCa but usually it finds nothing. Here is the HJT log.

Please Help! :tazz:

Hello and welcome to GeeksToGo Forums. We hope you enjoy your stay here! ;)

You definitely have a worm here. We will get rid of it though. :tazz:

You may want to print out these instructions or save them to your desktop as a text file with Notepad because we will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet.

Place a checkmark next to these entries, close all browsers and windows, and have HijackThis fix them by clicking Fix Checked:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Network Controller] WinxPupd.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows Network Controller] WinxPupd.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [Windows Network Controller] WinxPupd.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows Network Controller] WinxPupd.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [Windows Network Controller] WinxPupd.exe

Reconfigure Windows XP to show hidden files:
Click Start. Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options. Select the View Tab.

Under the Hidden files and folders heading select "Show hidden files and folders".
Uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)" option.
Uncheck the "Hide file extensions for known file types" option.
Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.

Boot into Safe Mode:
Restart your computer and immediately begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear. Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter.
To return to normal mode just restart your computer as you normally would.

Please delete these files using Windows Explorer(if present):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinxPupd.exe

Now you can restart the computer normally.
Please run HijackThis again and post a fresh log, just so I can make sure that all the malware was deleted according to plan. :thumbsup:
