Her machine is randomly restarting at times. Her ISP is PeoplePC and her computer throws errors any time she tries to connect to them, so she was stuck offline. After spending a long time on the phone with PeoplePC tech support they said they suspect malware on her machine. They were able to get her machine to connect to the internet but apparently using some kind of temporary back-door method.
I've had her download AdAware and Spybot. She ran AdAware already and cleaned up everything it found, but Spybot throws errors whenever she tries to execute it. Her virus scanner also throws errors. I directed her to use the free online scanners at TrendMicro and Panda, but she said trying to use those threw errors and wouldn't work either.
Here is her HijackThis log. Please let me know if there's anything in here that could be causing these problems. Thanks in advance!
