Hi,


Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds file to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    • DDS.txt
    • Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
Here are the logs, thanks :) DDS.txt DDS (Ver_10-12-12.02) - NTFSx86 Run by [removed] at 13:25:42.26 on Sun 02/06/2011 Internet Explorer: 8.0.6001.18999 Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Basic 6.0.6001.1.1252.1.1033.18.3573.1551 [GMT -5:00] AV: McAfee Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware *Enabled/Updated* {86355677-4064-3EA7-ABB3-1B136EB04637} SP: Windows Defender *Disabled/Updated* {D68DDC3A-831F-4fae-9E44-DA132C1ACF46} SP: McAfee Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware *Enabled/Updated* {3D54B793-665E-3129-9103-206115370C8A} FW: McAfee Firewall *Enabled* {BE0ED752-0A0B-3FFF-80EC-B2269063014C} ============== Running Processes =============== C:\Windows\system32\wininit.exe C:\Windows\system32\lsm.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k DcomLaunch C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k rpcss C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k GPSvcGroup C:\Windows\system32\SLsvc.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalService C:\Program Files\Dell\DellDock\DockLogin.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService C:\Windows\System32\WLTRYSVC.EXE C:\Windows\system32\WLANExt.exe C:\Windows\System32\bcmwltry.exe C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\AAWService.exe C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNoNetwork C:\Windows\system32\aestsrv.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k bthsvcs C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\Iaantmon.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\mfevtps.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k NetworkServiceNetworkRestricted C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\bin\sprtsvc.exe C:\Windows\system32\STacSV.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k imgsvc C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k WerSvcGroup C:\Windows\system32\SearchIndexer.exe C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\xaudio.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\mfefire.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Mcafee\McSvcHost\McSvHost.exe C:\Windows\system32\wbem\unsecapp.exe C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe C:\Windows\system32\Dwm.exe C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\Dell\DellDock\DellDock.exe C:\Program Files\DellTPad\Apoint.exe C:\Windows\System32\igfxtray.exe C:\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\IAAnotif.exe C:\Windows\System32\WLTRAY.EXE C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Program Files\Dell\MediaDirect\PCMService.exe C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\AAWTray.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\mcagent.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmpnscfg.exe C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\BTTray.exe C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe C:\Windows\system32\igfxsrvc.exe C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmpnetwk.exe C:\Program Files\DellTPad\ApMsgFwd.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Program Files\DellTPad\HidFind.exe C:\Program Files\DellTPad\Apntex.exe c:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\BtStackServer.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\ymsgr_tray.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\mcshield.exe C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.exe C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe C:\Windows\system32\wuauclt.exe C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe C:\Users\Katey Koo\Downloads\dds.com ============== Pseudo HJT Report =============== uSearch Page = hxxp://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sp/msgr9/*http://www.yahoo.com uStart Page = hxxp://www.yahoo.com uWindow Title = Internet Explorer provided by Dell uDefault_Page_URL = hxxp://www.google.com/ig/dell?hl=en&client;=dell-usuk&channel;=us&ibd;=6080828 uSearch Bar = hxxp://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sb/msgr9/*http://www.yahoo.com/ext/search/search.html mStart Page = hxxp://www.yahoo.com/ mDefault_Page_URL = hxxp://www.yahoo.com/ mDefault_Search_URL = hxxp://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/su/msgr9/*http://www.yahoo.com mSearch Page = hxxp://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sp/msgr9/*http://www.yahoo.com mSearch Bar = hxxp://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sb/msgr9/*http://www.yahoo.com/ext/search/search.html uInternet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local uSearchURL,(Default) = hxxp://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/su/msgr9/*http://www.yahoo.com uURLSearchHooks: Yahoo!
