ESET would not run on the effected computer,,followed your instructions and it opened a new screen, light blue in color but did not seem to do anything. Light blue page is totally blank except for a tiny white box woth a red x in the upper left corner of the page. Not sure if this is an issue,,,but at this point it appears that I have no Java running on that computer. Was instructed to delete previous versions of Java in preparation for the updated version that has refused to load.

Hi bkeesing,

Was instructed to delete previous versions of Java in preparation for the updated version that has refused to load.

Please run rkill.

Please download the Java install file to another computer and transfer via CD / pen drive to the affected computer and try to install that way.

Let me know if that works and if not what the exact error message is.

finally got Java to load on the affected computer, the Java test says its working now. Checked a movie clip on youtube and those still wont play,,, tried downloading an update to the inbedded player as suggested on the sire, but it returned a message that it could not find the site.

Prior to getting it installed I ran RKILL,,,there was nothing listed on the report.

Kaspersky online scanner is now working,,,running it now and will have a report when its done.

OK thanks for letting me know, post when ready (the scan can take a long time).

Here are the scan results from Kaspersky

Hi bkeesing,

We need to remove the viruses that Kaspersky detected.

Run OTL Script

• Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
• Copy and Paste the following code into the textbox. Do not include the word Code
  

  :files
  
  C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\hQMy.exe
  
  C:\WINDOWS\Temp\jar_cache3301456097426842156.tmp
  
  :commands
  
  [EMPTYTEMP]
  
  

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
• Click .
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.Copy and Paste that report in your next reply.

Outlook

There are infected emails in your Outlook storage file. Please check though your emails to see if there are any emails with attachments and delete any attachments that you do not recognise and cannot trust.

Once this is done then please empty deleted items and then compact the file File - Data File Management - highlight file - Settings - Compact Now.

Next run another Kaspersky scan. This may need to be done several times until the infected email can be eliminated.

These files

C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Antivirus\VSSBBR07.005
E:\I386\APPS\APP24087\src\CompaqPresario_Spring06.exe
E:\I386\APPS\APP24087\src\HPPavillion_Spring06.exe

Are safe and do not need to be removed.

Please let me know how the computer is running now.

On the restart after running OLT,,, the windows screen (the one before the sign-in screen) opened for a few seconds, then went to a full screen of colored boxes, then a second pattern of colored small shapes,, the mouse is working, but it has stopped loading windows.

Hi bkeesing,

Boot into Safe Mode:
Restart your computer and immediately begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear. Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter.

Please run a new scan with OTL and post the contents of OTL.TXT

Was tapping F8 but it bypassed and went directly to a normal boot up,,,which worked normally, not sure what had happened. Below is the log for OLT from just before the re-boot. Do you still want another OLT scan run?
