Hello Geiseliam, Welcome to the forum.

This is what I suggest you do.

Download CWShredder from my signature below. Unzip it on the desktop.
Open CWShredder and with ALL other windows closed, click fix.


Go here and run at least one of the online scans, allow them to delete whatever they find:

TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan
Note any thing that can't be fixed
Reboot when done.

Next:

Even if you've already run these, make SURE they're up-to-date and run per instructions.

Make sure you have the up-to-date versions of Spybot V 1.3 and Ad-aware SE Build 1.05 . All are free and available below.

Download Spybot, install and update. Then download Ad-aware, install, and update.

Spybot:

Install the program and launch it.

Go to Start > Programs >Spybot > Search & Destroy and choose Spybot S&D

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" (RED) entries "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.

Ad-Aware FULL SCAN:

Install the program and launch it.

First in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From main window :Click Start then under Select a scan Mode check Perform full system scan.
Next deselect Search for negligible risk entries.
Now to scan just click the Next button.

When the scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose select all from the drop down menu and click Next)

Empty Recycle Bin

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Hi LD Tate,

This has turned up a few things and blasted them. New logfile below, awaiting your comments. I have one side-issue: can you recommend a forum where I can get help with MS Internet Connection Sharing, which has been problematic since I installed XP SP2 on both machines concerned?

Thanks

Geiseliam

Post #4

can you recommend a forum where I can get help with MS Internet Connection Sharing, which has been problematic since I installed XP SP2 on both machines concerned?

We'll see what we can come up with after you're clean.


I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

Post #5
Hello again.

I've done as you suggested. Log file below.
I see that I hadn't responded to your request for a description of current behaviour. Nor am I certain what 'at the moment' means in this context, so here's a brief summary (if you want more specifics, please ask).

Pre 2 weeks ago: the only thing that really bugged me was an inability to use 2 PCs on a single DSL connection as I had been able to do pre XP SP2.
About 2 weeks ago up till finding TomCoyote: my internet connection started to drop, with all details being wiped from the PC. Also, my cookies were all disappearing, requiring me to re-login to subscribed sites, etc.
Since performing the first set of your recommendations my cookies seem to be staying put.
Rebooting to post this, after the second set of recommendations, I noticed that the icons on my desktop took longer than usual to assume their final forms, going through a generic MS box first. I've seen that before, and I must confess that I'm not very observant of such things. I know that some days everything seems to go slower than others, but I can't say with confidence that it's been worse during the last two weeks than the preceding two, or twenty!

Thanks anyway. I await your reply with interest.

Best wishes

Geiseliam

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D

Thanks for all your help. I had a lot of trouble with your free firewall so I uninstalled it. Can I get by with Windows Firewall?
