Needing Help With Error Mssgs, Apps Not Running, Etc.

[az_critter]

Below you will find my Hijack log from my Admin Account, I also have a copy from my User Account as well, if you request it.
I have had a series of problems happening for a while, and now a couple of new ones as well.

The newest problems;
1. Concerning my Yahoo Mail account: I log into my mail and at random times (while I'm trying to check mail or send mail, etc.) all of a sudden it kicks me back to the log in screen, where it still has my name, but is requesting my password again. It's happening too soon after logging in, for it to be the typical cookie timeout. The page looks legit, and if I put in my password, it takes me back into my mail, but then repeats the cycle within a couple of minutes again.

2. Logging out of my Admin account: When I try to log out, I get a message that ieexplore is not responding and it refuses to end, unless I click the "end now" button.

The other problems have been going on for a while now, and I have tried thoroughly cleaning my system in various ways, but the problems persist.

1. My Ad-Aware closes due to application errors and leaking memory errors. My Ad-Watch will close with errors, if I have the "load ad-watch on start up" button checked in general settings. I have tried to end these problems by uninstalling and reinstalling Ad-Aware and Ad-Watch through my Admin account, but it only works for a little while, and then the problems come back.

2. When I run a scan with my Ad-Aware, my Norton starts picking up and quarantining viruses. This only happens when I run the Ad-Aware, usually. I have deleted those viruses, in an attempt to free my computer, but to no avail. As soon as I run Ad-Aware, Norton picks up more.

3. I get win32 errors at all hours of the day and night, which results in various programs, software, and hardware not running at all, or not running correctly. For instance, I keep losing my sound, like something is disconnecting my sound card or something.

I uninstalled SpyBot from my system, because it was interfereing too much, and it wasn't finding any problems anyway.
I've tried to scan my computer through Norton's Online Scan Page to find out if I have any Internet leaks or threats, but it doesn't finish the scan. It tells me the server has a problem. I don't know if it means thier server, or mine.

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi az-critter,
Sorry for the delay in responding. We have more logs than we can handle at this time.
If you still need help and are not receiving it elsewhere, please start with the following:
--------------------------------------------------------
You should download and install the newest version of the free Adobe Reader for reading pdf files, due to vulnerabilities in earlier versions of reader and acrobat.
All versions numbered lower than 8.1.2 are vulnerable.

• Please uninstall all versions of Adobe Reader before installing the latest version.
• Go to Start, Control Panel or Start, Settings, Control paneland double click on Add/Remove Programs.
• Locate every instance of Adobe Reader, one at a time, and click on Change/Remove to Uninstall each one.
  --------------------------------------------------------
  
  • Click here to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  • Select your Windows version and click on Download. Save this file to your desktop and run it to install the latest version of Adobe Reader.

If you prefer a simple reader, without plug-ins, that is smaller and faster, take a look at the free Foxit Reader here : http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
-----------------------------------------------------------
Retrieve the List of Installed programs Using HJT
Open HijackThis, click Open The Misc Tools Section. Then scroll down the list if you need to, click Open Uninstall Manager and Save List...
The List of installed programs will automatically be saved as uninstall_list.txt in your HiJackThis folder. In addition, the list opens in Notepad so you can also save as another name in another location if you wish. Please paste the contents into your next reply.
Click the "X" in the upper right corner of the HiJackThis window to close it.
