Before we begin, please be sure that HiJackThis is in its own folder. This will allow us to use backups to restore entries if necessary. Please do not put HiJackThis in a temporary folder, or on the Desktop. I suggest using 'c:\program files\hijackthis\' or C:\HiJackThis\, but any name you choose is fine.

Reboot.
Run HiJackThis again and post a new log in this thread.

The computer hung again on start up at the Welcome screen. Also, when I ran HijackThis to check the items noted in the previous post, all of the "R" series items were gone and the O2 - BHO (no name) entry was also missing.

He is the latest log after rebooting

Nothing we have removed would cause a delay at the welcome screen. Is the dealy before or after logon?

Also, we need to remove those O15 entries with a script since HJT seems to be having trouble rmeoving them.

Download DelDomains.inf from here:

www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf

Right-click on the deldomains.inf file and select 'Install'

When its finished your IE Zones wil lbe reset. That will make it necessary to re-install protection using SpywareBlaster and to re-install IE/Spyads, if you use them.


Run HijackThis again and post a new log in this thread.

Downloaded DelDomains.inf twice. Hover, the program will not install.
Error Message - installation failed

Check the event log to see if there is any more information on why that failed.

OK - I don't see an entry in either the Application or System log. I have attached an image of both. I did a reboot and tried to install Deldomains.inf again, but got the same error message. This was done after the reboot.

Also, in an earlier message you asked about if the computer hung before or after the login screen. Funny you should ask. Since this problem started about three days ago, I don't get a login screen any more. I am running MS Net Frame work V1.1 and did an update at the MS site on Saturday. I don't know if any of the security updates may have disabled the login.

Here are a coiple of sceen shots using the event viewer for the Application and System sections.

Here's one for the System

First:
Launch Notepad.
Copy/paste the text in the box below into a new text file.
Save it as fixme.reg on your Desktop




Locate fixme.reg on your Desktop and double-click on it.

You will receive a prompt similar to: "Do you wish to merge the information into the registry?".

Answer 'Yes' and wait for a message to appear similar to "Merged Successfully".


Second:
Run HiJackThis again and post a new log in this thread.

I don't have any suggestions for the hang up problem, Perhaps cleaning the temp files/folders and defrag may help. Your log is now clean and here are some suggestions for keeping it that way.


At last, your system is clean and free of spyware! Want to keep it that way?

Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future.

1. Visit Windows Update:
Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and Internet Explorer. The first defense against infection is a properly patched Operating System.
a. Windows Update: http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

2. Adjust your security settings for ActiveX:]
Select Internet Options from the Control Panels, or from Internet Explorer (Tools -> Internet Options)
Press 'default level', then OK
Now press "Custom Level."

In the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section set these options:
'Download singed ActiveX controls' - Prompt
'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' - Disable
'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not maked as safe'- Disable

(All other options accept the default)

3. Download and install the following free programs
a. SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
b. IE/Spyad: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm
c. BHODemon: http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
d. Bugoff: http://tools.zerosrealm.com/bugoff.zip

4. Install Spyware Detection and Removal Programs:
You may also want to consider installing one of the following:
a. Microsoft AntiSpyware: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx
b. Spybot S&D: http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
c. AdAware: http://www.lavasoft.de/ Due to AdAware's recent decision to remove WhenU from its detection database, only to quickly add it back in response to public outcry I can no longer recommend this product as a first line of defense. For those interested, here is a link to discussion regarding this: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12665642~mode=flat

Use these programs to regularly scan your system for and remove many forms of spyware/malware. I recommend and use Micosoft AntiSpyware.

If you use, or plan on using, additional spyware/malware detection and/or removal programs, please check Items 8 and 9.

5. Install 'Spoofstick"
Spoofstick is a simple browser extension that helps users detect spoofed (fake) websites. This extension is free and installs in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
a. http://www.corestreet.com/spoofstick

6. Reset System Restore
If you are using Windows ME or Windows XP, please reset your System Restore. See Windows help for information.

7. Clean Temporary Files and Folders
Double Click My Computer (WinXP: Navigate to Start --->My Computer)
You will see an icon representing your harddrive (most likely C: Drive) Right Click on the hard drive icon and click Properties at the bottom of the fly out window. On the very first tab (General) you will see a button labeled "Disk Cleanup"...click that button.

Make sure the following are checked:
Downloaded Program Files
Temporary Internet Files and
Recycle Bin

Click OK and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you.

8. Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware
Before using or purchasing any Spyware/Malware protection/removal program, always check the Rogue/Suspect Spyware List. It will save you a lot of grief, as well as money if you are thinking of purchasing. Here is the link: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

9. Anti-Spyware Programs Compared
Want to know just how effective your anti-spyware program is? Wonder how well any of the "rogue" programs listed above work? Check this link for an independent comparison of several anti-spyware programs: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/asw-test-guide.htm

10. Alternate Browser
Consider using an alternate browser as your default. I recommend and use Firefox as my primary browser. It is still necessary to keep Internet Explorer current and protected in order to use Windows Update.
