I don't know what happened. One day XP Anti Virus 2008 was installed and all my stuff stopped functioning normally. I can't download Flash, and my Task Manager is locked up. It tells me that the Task Manager has been disabled by my admin.?? I'M THE ADMIN!?

Plus on start up it LOVES to try and run my Quicktime player and sometimes my Bitcomet starts up and want me to download an update.

Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

I suggest you do this:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

We strongly suggest you do this first.
ERUNT - Download - Homepage
This ensures we have a valid registry backup. ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore if needed. Removing modern malware infections often requires making changes to the registry, and a corrupt registry can prevent a system from booting. Compatible with Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 32 & 64-bit versions.
  1. Download ERUNT
  2. Double-click erunt_setup.exe to run.
  3. Follow the prompts and install using the default configuration (setup language, install location, shortcuts...).
  4. Say No to the portion that asks you to add ERUNT to the start-up folder, if you like you can enable this option later.
  5. Start ERUNT
  6. Choose a location for the backup
    The default location C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\[today's date] is preferred
  7. The first two check boxes are ticked by default (System registry and Current user registry).
  8. Press OK
  9. When prompted, click YES to create a new folder.
  10. Progress bars will show backup status.
  11. A confirmation window will popup when complete. Click OK to close.


Next:

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Next:

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected .
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
  • Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot.

Also "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
