Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

Hmm, your log looks clean try this:

Please run a free online virus scan here: Needs to be run with Internet Explorer.
http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm

And a free trojan scan here: (you will have to download the 30 day trial of "The Cleaner" here)
http://www.moosoft.com/

Reboot your PC. Let me know if they found anything.

[SIZE=7] ok I think my computer is going nuts. Last night when my son was on it the windows registry checker came up and said there was an error click ok and windows will repair it so we did as it said. We clicked ok a number of times and it wouldn't go away until I hit ctrl+alt+del and end task. The good news is after this happend the malware is gone. I ran ad-aware and it only found 14 things and they were all data miners or somthing like that, befor I would find 100 thing and more than half were malware . All this happen before I sent you this list of what was on running on my computer, I just didn't know it fix everthing until today. :tazz: [/SIZE]

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.

Go to the location of each of the 3 "temp" folders listed above and delete everything inside them. Do not delete the temp folder, just the contents.

Help!! My husband turn on the computer and An error box came up as it usually does, Its the windows registry it says windows will now restart and repair your registry and if you click ok the computer restarts and the error box comes back so I just hit ctrl+alt+Del and end task. Well he click ok and now Norton will not come up so I uninstalled it and restarted my computer and now when I go to control panel there is nothing in there in, the line at the bottom of the page says 31 objects so I went to my computer and nothing there so I went to help and it would never load. I can still get on the Internet and all my picture are still there. I not sure what happened HOPE YOU CAN HELP.
Thanks Wanda

Well I will try to find out what this may be related to. In the meantime, I suggest backing up your important data onto disks just in case. Windows ME is highly unstable and we really don't know what it could surprise us with. :tazz:
