... Because my computer is running much better, but still much slower than prior to my infection with some Trojan that I still don't know the name of.
Anyway, I have XP and Office 2003 and I am on a wireless system at a hotel in San Diego. Some of my symptoms were popups, fake system infection warnings, etc. My AVAST was useless against it. It wouldn't allow AVG to run at all. And I have barely been able to use Microsoft LIVE ONE CARE against it, which seems to have at least partially done the job.
I think it involved OFFICE so I had disabled it at one point and that's when I started to make progress with LIvE ONE CARE. LIVE ONE CARE wants me to install 8 OFFICE vulnerability updates but although I have tried to about 15 times it still won't let me. As well, although it is running far better, I still have symptoms.

So without further ado, here is my hijack this log:

Hello! :hello2: and welcome to the Malware Removal forums.
I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. HijackThis logs can take a while to research so please be patient while I work on your log and I will post back here with any recommendations.
As I am still training, everything that I post to you, must be checked by an Admin or Moderator. Thus, there may be a tiny bit of a delay between posts. While it shouldn't be too long, you can be assured you will get the best possible advice.

  • I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Step 1:
You are running an older version of HijackThis.
It is important that you uninstall any previous versions by using Add/Remove programs in your control panel before installing a newer version.
  • Download HJTInstall.exe to your Desktop.
  • Doubleclick HJTInstall.exe to install it.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Do not scan with it yet, you can close it at this point.

Don't use the Analyse This button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.


Step 2:
Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
  1. Close all applications and windows.
  2. Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  3. When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
  4. Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and the extra.txt in your reply.

Due to lack of response this topic is now closed.

If you still need help open a new thread in the Malware Removal forum and wait for a new helper.
