Any idea why I lost "Bootguard" ( a password security program to keep my kids off the computer)?

Not sure what happened to it. Reinstall it when done cleaning the malware. :tazz:

None of the files were in my C drive- assuming that is a good thing!

Are you talking about this?

C:\WINDOWS\wupdt.exe


That's not windows update. It's this.

wupdt.exe is added to the system as a result of the IMISERV virus. It is a backdoor Trojan used to control a target computer from a remote location. This program is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately. If found on your system make sure that you have downloaded the latest update for your antivirus application.


How is it running?

Thanks for the explanation!

Two remaining problems:

When rebooting, I get a message as System Configuration Utility which says, "You ar using the Selective Start-up for Troubleshooting Your System". This is probably something I did, but I have no idea what!

The second problem is that I kept receiving a message that said "Runtime error 226 at 000056CD" everytime I clicked on a link!! After clicking okay about 20 times to get to different links, my desktop disappeared and all I had was wallpaper. I held my breath and rebooted and everything was fine.

I really can't say thanks enough for all your help!!

You are running some programs that are open for discussion. whether they are reputable or not.

About the error, I don't know.

I have used this program in the past called ccleaner. You can find it on Major Geeks. You might try that. It cleans out a lot of trash. You'll lose a lot of cookies, etc.

Could you please be more specifc regarding your comment that I am running some programs that are up for discussion regarding being reputable.
I've been using Internet Options to clear cookies frequently. I thought clearing cookies was a good thing?!

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Pop-Up Stopper] "C:\PROGRAM FILES\PANICWARE\POP-UP STOPPER\DPPS2.EXE

Pop-Up Stopper Companion from Panicware. Pop-up blocker integrated into the IE toolbar. Note that the Pro version doesn't load in startup as it is installed as an Internet Explorer toolbar. Can cause problems with IE if you use WinXP and uninstall Service Pack 1. Uninstalling the software leaves it in the startup group


Do you use the following two?

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Define - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Reference 2001\A\ERS_DEF.HTM
O8 - Extra context menu item: Look Up in &Encyclopedia - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Reference 2001\A\ERS_ENC.HTM

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Viewpoint Search - res://C:\PROGRAM FILES\VIEWPOINT\VIEWPOINT TOOLBAR\VIEWBAR.DLL/CXTSEARCH.HTML

If it was my computer, I would put a check mark next to everything I have listed up above.

It's up to you. Google the items and see what you think. :tazz:

My Pop-up stopper is in the toolbar. I use WinME. Why would you delete it? What would you use instead?

All of these are suggestions. You can google any entry and read up on any item that we suggest to delete.

I went ahead and copied and pasted information on each item. That way you can make a decision on what to do.

You said you were still having problems with your computer....we eliminated all the stuff we knew was bad. Then, we started applying different fixes to see if there were other problems.

Now, we're onto the borderline stuff.

I use firefox and I added the google toolbar helper. Since I've had firefox, I haven't had one pop-up.

If you delete the viewpoint toolbar (02, 03), then delete the 08 viewpoint toolbar.

The 08s - extra content items are no big deal.

Bottom line: if your computer is running fine now, don't worry about doing all this extra stuff. How is it running?

When rebooting, I get a message as System Configuration Utility which says, "You ar using the Selective Start-up for Troubleshooting Your System". This is probably something I did, but I have no idea what!

This message means you've disabled startup items using MSConfig. Click Start -> Run, type msconfig, and enter. Tick the "Normal Startup" button.

Post a new log when finished.
