Hijack This Log

Hi Slaser, I'm looking over your log file now and will get back to you shortly. Thanks, Sky

Hi Slaser,

You need to update both Windows XP and Internet Explorer as they are both well behind in updates. They are both missing Service Pack 1 which is leaving you open to all kinds of problems.

I DO NOT suggest you update to Service Pack 2, at this time.

Service Pack 1 for XP

Service Pack 1 for Internet Explorer.

Also it appears you have No Antivirus Software on your system.
Please go here an do at least two on line scans:

Next download Adaware
Download the latest version of Ad-Aware:

After installing AAW, and before running the program.
Please be sure to update the reference file following the instructions here:
http://www.lavahelp.net/howto/updref/

Close all Windows Except Adaware

Reconfigure Ad-Aware for Full Scan:

Launch the program, and click on the Gear at the top of the start screen.

Click the "Scanning" button.
Under Drives, Folders and Files, select "Scan within Archives".
Click "Click here to select Drives + folders" and select your installed hard drives.

Under Memory & Registry, select all options.
Click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Log-file detail level", select all options.
Click the "Tweaks" button.

Under "Scanning Engine", select the following:
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under "Cleaning Engine", select the following:
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Click on 'Proceed' to save these Preferences.

Run the Ad-Aware scan and allow it to remove everything it finds and then REBOOT to allow it to finish.

I see you have Spybot Search and destory
Open Spybot
In the Menu Bar at the top of the Spybot window you will see 'Mode'. Make certain that 'default mode' has a check mark beside it.

Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D

Click the button to ‘Search for Updates’ and download and install the Updates.
Next click the button ‘Check for Problems’

When Spybot is complete, it will be showing RED entries BLACK entries and GREEN entries in the window

Make certain there is a check mark beside all of the RED entries ONLY.

Choose ‘Fix Selected Problems’ and allow Spybot to fix the RED entries.

REBOOT to complete the scan.

To remove the WARNING You're in Danger message showing up on your Desktop, Do This:
Go To Start - Control Panel - Display
Select Desktop
Then Select Customize Desktop
Select The Web Tab
Uncheck what is currently there and delete it.
Click OK
Then Apply, OK

You still have issues that need to be fixed. Post a new HJT log file into this thread.
Please make sure you run HJT while your computer is in regular mode, NOT in safe mode. Also make sure all windows and browsers Except HJT are closed.

Thanks,
Sky
