Well, it's just not going very well. ;) I deleted the C:\ Partition, then formatted it and reinstalled XP Pro, installled only my spyware/virus programs and was able to get online to update things for about 1 hour. The connection just crawled, less than 100 bytes (not Kb or Mb, bytes) per second... Now I can't even ping my router or anything...

Most interesting thing though was that I had to do a restart after installing one of the programs and upon the restart, I got a Program not Responding box for something called 'should not see me' I chose End Now (before I really thought about it, dangit, I should have seen if I could see where it was runing from, etc, but nothing I have Not Itty Bitty Process Manager or anything saw anything abnormal running on my machine... So I have a few more tricks I've located to show hidden processes, and port information also, so I will not plug it into my router and try to get online again until I can figure out what's up... :tazz:

Hi joyfulgirl72

Welcome to geekstogo!

You are running an out-of-date version of HijackThis; can you please download a new copy (there is a link in my signature), unzip it, and replace your existing copy with the new version.

Please run the following free, online virus scans.
http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm
http://housecall.tre.../start_corp.asp

Please post the logs From both virus scans and HJT.log we will need them to remove previous infections that have left files on your system.

Is there a way to run those scans without getting online? I can download and burn updates, that's how I've been getting my other antivirus/spyware removal tools updated... :tazz:

Hi joyfulgirl72

Sorry but both the anti-virus scan need to be directly connected to your system.

The panda scan is very good and will give you a lot off information if you save the log.

Sorry for taking so long, I finally just had to get an ethernet card and install it to get online. It appears that my onboard ethernet card had driver issues I could not resolve. So I am running the scans as we speak. I believe this machine is now clean, but want to make sure. I ran KillDisk on the partition that was giving me problems and have since run clean scans with AdAware, SpyBot, AVG Free and SpySweeper... Boy, after all this I think I should share what I've learned by becoming a Geek In Training... I feel great having learned so much, however frustrating it was! :tazz:

Oh and as a sidenote, that 'should not see me' program I was seeing upon restart at times is supposedly "Sloppy Microsoft Code" after doing some research about it... Whew, I surely hope that's true!

Hi joyfulgirl72 :)

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN :tazz:

Download the Microsoft Antispyware

Download the CCleaner unzip the file to install.
Open CCleaner.
Place a check by everything in the Applications tab.
Place a check by Internet Explorer, Windows explorer, and System in the Windows tab.
Run the ccleaner

Clean out all temp files in Mozilla, Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer: Tools/ Internet Options/ General/ Temporary internet files/ Delete Files (NOTE, that this may take very long!). You can also set the memory limit to about 80 MB at the Settings.

Mozilla: Edit/ Options/ Extended/ Cache/ Clear Cache

Turn of system restore
Disabling or enabling Windows XP System Restore

Turn system restore back on and create a new restore point. Defrag your hard drive

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use). Click Here
QUOTE
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 http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ 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 user posted image.
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

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

Kc ;)

WHOOO HOOOO!!! :tazz: I followed all your instructions except I hate to say it, but since this is my boyfriend's computer and he is not quite as handy with a computer (hence this nasty infection), I can't switch to Mozilla just yet without showing him a thing or three about it... This has definitely been an experience and I am signing up as we speak to be a Geek In Training so I can help others!!! ;) :) Thanks so much thatman, you rock!!! ;)
