Hi, Sorry I forgot to add that part in after I posted log.

The computer is running better, it's not shutting down any longer and the desktop isn't black anymore either. In my All Programs listings I still have the HDD Control listed there, and a button that says uninstall (which I have not done fearing what it may do on the back end). The only other thing is that although my desktop isn't black, none of the short cut buttons that were listed on the left had side are showing any longer, it's just a clear blue screen with a start button on the left and the time and virus scan listing on the right.

Thanks!

Hi jsthomas928,

In my All Programs listings I still have the HDD Control listed there, and a button that says uninstall (which I have not done fearing what it may do on the back end).


Please delete all references to HDD Control in the Program listings and then empty the recycle bin.

The only other thing is that although my desktop isn't black, none of the short cut buttons that were listed on the left had side are showing any longer, it's just a clear blue screen with a start button on the left and the time and virus scan listing on the right.


It may be that you will need to recreate any desktop shortcuts that you previously had. Please try to drag a shortcut from the start menu to the desktop and let me know if that works OK.

Please run a new scan with OTL and post just the OTL.txt log file.

Re: Black Desktop/HDD Control

Unread postby jsthomas928 » November 28th, 2010, 4:51 pm

Dragging them to my desktop didn't help, it just created a short cut in the file for Desktop, but not actually on it. I tried right clicking desktop and restoring defaults on the properties tab, but that did nothing as well.

deltalima wrote:Hi jsthomas928,

The only other thing is that although my desktop isn't black, none of the short cut buttons that were listed on the left had side are showing any longer, it's just a clear blue screen with a start button on the left and the time and virus scan listing on the right.


It may be that you will need to recreate any desktop shortcuts that you previously had. Please try to drag a shortcut from the start menu to the desktop and let me know if that works OK.

Please run a new scan with OTL and post just the OTL.txt log file.

Can you create a new shortcut or document on the desktop?

Hi,

I figured it out, when I right clicked on the desktop, there was a button to push that said show desktop icons, and once that was clicked they all showed up (even the ones I had tried to drag there previously).

Good.

Any other issues? The logs look clean now.

Hi jsthomas928,

Now that you are clean, please follow these steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure.

You should Download and Install the newest version of Adobe Reader for reading pdf files, due to the vulnerabilities in earlier versions.
All versions numbered lower than 9.4 are vulnerable.
  • Go HERE, UNCHECK any Free Add-Ons, and click Download to install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  • After it completes the Installation, close the Download Manager.

Update Java Runtime
You are using an old version of Java. Sun's Java is sometimes updated in order to eliminate the exploitation of vulnerabilities in an existing version. For this reason, it's extremely important that you keep the program up to date, & also remove the older more vulnerable versions from your system. The most current version of Sun Java is: Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 22.
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Here

Hi,

Thanks so much for your help. I think I've done everything you recommended and what was suggested. At some point I'm sure we will just have to get a better security program to prevent some of this from happening again.

Again I really appreciate your assistance in this and getting us back up and running. :o)
