Since afternoon today, my desktop computer with Windows XP won't start normally. I get to the login screen, but after typing my password, it just hangs (it doesn't even bother to check whether the password is right). I suspect it must be malware.
It starts fine in Safe Mode, and when I use Diagnostic Startup with msconfig, but neither of those gives me network connection. As far as I can see, there are no files lost.
When looking in Event Viewer, there were a few suspect errors earlier today, just when I started it. Here's the message:
The X service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
where X is one of
adfs
mzho
cmplrkyx
fezp
These messages have not occured since.
I ran CCleaner, and removed/fixed everything it wanted to.
I ran Malwarebytes, and it actually found a few things, which I removed:
Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\SVCWINSPOOL (Backdoor.IRCBot) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\SVCWINSPOOL (Backdoor.IRCBot) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
Files Infected:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt2.dll (Trojan.Donbot) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
These things were deleted from the quarantine, and according to Malwarebytes, my computer is clean.
SuperAntiSpyware says "The system admininstrator has set policies to prevent this installation".
gmer.exe (which has helped me before) says "gmer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." But for some reason, I can't get gmer.exe to run on this laptop either. I suppose there must have been some Windows update that prevents it from running.
What more can I try?
Obviously, this log is made in Safe Mode:
