hello luckybirdedie,

you come back to this forum and check for replies.also respond using the add reply button. you have quite a collection. i would limit my time on the internet until your computer is clean. lets try this; first go to one or two of these and do a scan as i dont see a active antivirus app on your computer:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default…id=ie&venid=sym

http://www.mwti.net/antivirus/free_utilities.asp

http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co…n_principal.htm

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php

http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx
————————————————————————————————
next go to one of these for a free av application;install update and run:
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
http://www.avast.com/
————————————————————————————–
ok i would print the rest of this out or copy/paste it to notepad, call it something and save it to your desktop as we will be in SAFE MODE soon
also could you move HJT to its own folder somewhere.

first look in add/remove panel and uninstall the following if present;
Wintools
VBouncer
SED
any toolbars that you dont use, web search tools etc

next:
Run HJT and check the following items:
Close all open windows except HiJackThis and press 'Fix Checked'

http://www.lavasoft.de/

afterwards post a new HJT log in this thread, use add reply button as there will be more to do………………..shelf life

i continue to have multiple problems. i've been working on this computer for 7 yrs w/out incident until last week when i was doing reserch on a chemistry site. suddenly a zillion pop ups appeared.
the computer locks up in the middle of programs, and can't finish some commands at times, such as copy/paste. something is eating up the RAM, and there is almost no drive space left. there are many files in the windows folder that i don't recognize.
i have run a-squared, spybot, ad-aware, grisoft and HJT, but none will delete
or fix everything.
at startup, it gives an error with Rundll.
there are errors on the hard drive, but when i try to run ScanDisk, it keeps restarting. so i also can't degraf the drive. it says there's another program running and to close it.
Below are the programs shown running when i do Ctrl+Alt+Del.
i don't know which to close.
below the programs running is the logfile of HJT.
thank you so much for your help. ~edie

hi
yes, i did everything you first recommended.
then i downloaded Spybot and AdAware as you recommended.
i have been trying to clean this mess up almost constantly, but run into the following problems:

Spybot runs but it sends the following msg after the scan:
"Error during check!: Cabrotor (Datei C:\WINDOWS\win.ini kann nicht geöffnet werden. The process cannot access the file because
it is being used by another process) ()".

Ad-Adware locks up on deleting items, so i can't delete anything there and i can't save the log either. it also locks up the computer so i have to reboot.

at startup, i get the following msg. "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\BXXSS.DLL System Can't find specified file".

there's a process or something running in the background that eats up the memory and i don't know what it is so i have to constantly reboot.

OK… thanks, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Below are the results of hijackthis and spybot (which I didn't fix).

phew! it took forever (over 2 hrs) to download, install, update and run mcafee av, spybot sd and adaware. i had to keep running a little program (MemMax) to force maxing physical memory.

i've been trying to update windows since this whole problem started, but it opens a window in the following link: says "thank you for your interest in windows update" though i couldn't update it.

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5Co…us&thankspage;=2

mcafee av found no virus, but later said it found downloader as a trojan virus. it couldn't define what downloader is, and couldn't get rid of it.

spybot found 2 identical entries that couldn't get rid of: gain.gator in c:\windows\GatorPlgin.log.

there are 15,507 files in the C\WINDOWS program taking up 1.77 GB of the c drive. can i get rid of some of these? how do i know which ones? the hard drive is partitioned. drive c should only have program files, and drive d data. drive c only has 439 MB free space (of 305 GB). i don't know what's taking up so much space on this drive.

i know this is computer is old, but i've gone back to college and have to do with this one for a while longer. it is also my work computer, so it's indispensable right now. i can't do back ups because it runs out of memory and i fear it's going to crash. help!
below is the latest HJT log:

yes, thank you. the load did lighten when i got rid of the 4 items you said didn't need to run at start up, but the computer was still running out of memory. Popups were continuing even though I had run ad-aware and spybot and grisoft av. also, scan disk would not run saying that it had restarted 10 times because Windows or another program had been writing to the drive, though i didn't see any unusual programs running. so… i ran adaware again and noticed that there is an add-on that runs independently of adaware. i installed it, and unbelievably, it got rid of whatever was running in the background, let me run ScanDisk, freed up 1.38GB of drive C, and system is running at 83% now.
the only "problem" i see is that when i restart it comes up in bios mode with the L2 cache ECC support ENABLED, so i just go on and accept it. it's not a problem for me, but i don't know what that means.
i'm attaching the latest HJT log to see if you see anything unusual. if not, thank you sooooo much for walking me through all these problems and helping me fix them. godspeed ~luckybirdedie~
