That all looks clean. Can you do this for me?

• Download the Registry Search Tool.
• Unzip the contents of RegSrch.zip to a convenient location.
• Double-click on RegSrch.vbs.
• If you have an anti-virus installed it might prompt you about a running script. Please ignore this warning and allow the script to run.
• In the "Enter search string (case insensitive) and click OK..." box paste this string:
  • saap
• Click "OK" to search the registry for that string.
• Wait for a few minutes while it completes the search.
• Click "OK" to open the results in WordPad.
• Copy and paste the entire results into your next post.

No "saap" found, I scanned my registry with Registrar Lite too...actually, 180searchassistant isn't an issue anymore, but the problems i have with explorer.exe, probably caused by Bube virus.

Bube isn't present anymore either or Kaspersky would have found it.

Can you describe in detail what problems need to be fixed?

After Windows repair, I downloaded SP2 again and reboot...then explorer.exe crashed again displaying my desktop background with no icons or taskbar so I had to use system restore and uninstall SP2, other malfunction comes when i try to set a desktop background from windows picture and fax viewer...background picture doesn't change automatically, i have to right click desktop and set manually.

So we suspect something is still trying to hijack explorer.

Can you download this customized version of HijackThis:
HJT + extra

and follow the instructions here to post a both.log

Doubleclick the file and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

Now update to SP2 again and let me know.

[guy_x]

Again, explorer.exe didn't work. However, I managed to save a both.log in normal mode to look for a remaining problem, before going back to SP1.

[Metallica]

Although I am well aware that this is a legitimate entry for Microsoft Com+, I can't shake the feeling that it is causing your problem:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: ComPlusSetup - C:\WINDOWS\System32\catsrvut.dll

Can you see if fixing it helps?

Regards,

[guy_x]

Didn't help
What else could be done?

[Metallica]

I want to find out from which user profile the problem originated.

Copy the part below into notepad and save it as sidusracc.vbs

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objAccount = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_SID.SID='S-1-5-21-3723258459-2602887392-952214208-1008'")
Wscript.Echo objAccount.AccountName

Doubleclick the file and you will get a prompt with the useraccount name that belongs to the user with the SID: S-1-5-21-3723258459-2602887392-952214208-1008

Let me know if this is a account that you can login under.

Regards,

[guy_x]

Got this window after i clicked:

Edited by guy_x, 09 July 2005 - 04:49 PM.

[Metallica]

Can you log in as Adminstartor on that computer?

If so, run the script from that acoount.

[guy_x]

Yeah, indeed I'm the only user...logged in as administrator in safe mode and got the same message.

[Metallica]

If that is really true, I'm afraid you will have to re-install Windows.

You have been locked out of the Administrator rights and using a computer where someone has managed to do that is not something I would advise to anyone.

Regards,
