Hello,

I'm brand new to these forums, but in an extensive search I have found that Hijackthis is the biggest anti-hijack company out there.

I was surfing the web one day and I clicked a link and a popup came with a blank bookmark window that had some pretty harmless text... looked like a simple java script. I don't remember where I was, because it was during some research for school. Anyways... after closing this bookmark window 5 times *it kept popping up* my browser closed. I tried to re-open it and I got "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application." I can take a screen shot if needed. I am running windows 2000. I have since run Hijackthis, Xoftspy (self proclaimed best anti-spyware program), InoculateIT and Microsoft AntiSpyware.

I caught a lot of data miners... little cookies and things, but nothing harmful. I even caught a few trojans, deleted all of those, but my error still exists. My log is as follows:

Oh yeah, just to add: There is a critical update that it says to do, and every time I do it, and reboot, the same update exists. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing IE, no success. This same silly vanilly update is there.

Hello,

I'm brand new to these forums, but in an extensive search I have found that Hijackthis is the biggest anti-hijack company out there.

I was surfing the web one day and I clicked a link and a popup came with a blank bookmark window that had some pretty harmless text... looked like a simple java script.

I have since run Hijackthis, Xoftspy (self proclaimed best anti-spyware program), InoculateIT and Microsoft AntiSpyware.

I caught a lot of data miners... little cookies and things, but nothing harmful. I even caught a few trojans, deleted all of those, but my error still exists. The other problem that might be related, is there is a critical update always getting noticed by windows critical update manager or whatever for IE, and it reads as follows:
Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 (KB823353)
Size: 1.9 MB

A vulnerability exists in Outlook Express that could allow an attacker to cause Outlook Express to fail. You can help protect your computer by installing this update. After you install this update you may need to restart your computer.

Anyways.... No matter how many times I reinstall that update, its still there before I even reboot. I hope this helps.
My log is as follows:

Even if there is no answer, can I at least be told that I have to wipe my drive and start over before I keep going? Thanks

A vulnerability exists in Outlook Express that could allow an attacker to cause Outlook Express to fail. You can help protect your computer by installing this update. After you install this update you may need to restart your computer.

Anyways.... No matter how many times I reinstall that update, its still there before I even reboot. I hope this helps.
My log is as follows:

Kuval,

Welcome to the forum, please reply to this thread only by useing the Reply Button and not start a NEW Thread Button. Be advised that we are all volunteers and we do this out of the goodness of our hearts, the amount of posts being posted everyday goes into the hundreds and at times we don't get to logs as fast as we would like to. Another point is that all our Malware fighters look for logs with ZERO replies, by replying to yourself, you took yourself out of that catagory.

If you have not resolved your issue and still need my assisstance, post a new HJT log please.

Ken

Kuval,

This program used to be on the Rogue Spyware Programs list, G:\Program Files\XoftSpy they seemed to have cleaned up there act a little but they are still somewhere in the gray area. The programs we use and endorse are free and do a much better job getting rid of spyware. So I would suggest uninstalling this program, but its your call. You can remove it from the Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel. If you do uninstall it, open HJT Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows, put a checkmark in this entry and click on Fix Checked.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [XoftSpy] G:\Program Files\XoftSpy\XoftSpy.exe -s

Outside of that, you log is not showing any evidence of any Malware or Viruses, not to say with the garbage these idiots are writting nowadays that something could be hidden. I am going to have you download and install a few programs, the first two are free and the third Spy Sweeper is the trial version. Its important that after you scan your system with one program, you need to reboot your system before you run the other. After you run the scans, I am going to have you clean up your system a little. At that point, if we deem that your system is free of Malware or Viruses, then it may be a windows Issue and then I can recommend some sites that specialize in that sort of problem.

Please use the links in my signature to download and install both of the following free programs that are highly respected from the people in the Malware Removal Community.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4

* If you have the older version 1.3, remove it via ADD-REMOVE PROGRAMS in the Control Panel.

Go to Start/ Control Panel/ Add-Remove Programs scroll to that program and click on Remove.

* During Installation, just follow all the defaults.
* Go to Mode and click on Advanced Mode
* Then to Updates Search for Updates
* If you get a Bad Checksum Error, just choose a different download location.
* Then to Settings/ File Sets and take the checkmark out of Usage Tracks
* Then to Tools/ Hosts Files click on Add Spybot S&D Hosts Files.
* Then to Tools/ IE Tweeks and put a checkmark in Lock the Hosts Files
* Then to Immunize. Up at the top by the GREEN SIGN, click on Immunize.
* Then to Search and Destroy/ Check for Problems
* Let it scan your system
* Then to Fix Problems and fix all it finds.

RE-BOOT your computer.

AD-AWARE SE PERSONAL 1.06

If you have an older version of Ad-Aware, no need to uninstall it, it will prompt you to uninstall it during
the set up process

* During installation, follow all the defaults.
* Start the program and Check for Updates
* Choose Perform a Full System Scan
* Take the checkmark out of Search for Negligable Files
* Run the scan
* When it is done, Right Click on One of the Entries/ Select All/ Next and let it remove all that if finds.

Reboot your computer

Download the trial version of Spy Sweeper from Here
Scroll to the bottom of the page and intall the 4.5 trial and not the free online scan.
Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address,
it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)

You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
(This may take several minutes)

Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives. Check Local Disc C.
Under What to Sweep, check every box.

Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next

From 'Results', select the Session Log tab. Click Save to File and save the log somewhere convenient.

Exit Spy Sweeper.

Download and install Clean Up

* Click on Options
* Move the slider to Custom Scan
* Put a checkmark in the following ONLY

* Empty Recycle Bins
* Delete Cookies
* Delete Prefetch files
* Cleanup! All Users

Restart your computer, and then please copy and paste the SpySweeper log into this thread, along with a new HJT log. If something is hidden on your system, it will show up here.

Xoftspy is anti-spyware material that I paid money for, and it has removed many spyware utlities from my computer. I've had it for a year, and this IE problem is recent. I doubt the problem lies in Xoft.

Kuval,

If your happy with Xoftspy, then by all means keep it. I was just trying to make you aware that there are better programs out that are free and do just as well or better. You can read these two articles if you like.

http://www.infopacke...ate_or_scam.htm

http://www.reviewcen...views75821.html

Your Java is out of date and it is leaving your system vunerable. you can get the updates from Sun Microsystems HERE
Scroll to the middle of the page and download Download JRE 5.0 Update 6
After it is installed, you can VERIFY the installtion.

I dont see any evidence of Malware or a Virus on your system that would be causing you the problems that you are having. Here is another site with windows information

http://www.microsoft...s/IEtopten.mspx

Here are some sites that specialize in windows problems, we have an excellent forum right here at Tom Coyote. Just post with your problem and be sure to mention that you posted in this forum and that your HJT log was clean.

Tom Coyote
Windows Helpnet
Hardwareguys

Here are some free programs and tips for keeping your system up to date, and to help keep all the riff raff out of your system.

Now that your clean, we need to erase all possible older infected files that may still be lurking on your system.
* Clean out your TEMP FILES
* This procedure should be run from SAFEMODE for better results.

To Enter SAFEMODE

* Go to START/ SHUT OF YOUR COMPUTER/ RESTART
* As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly, this will bring up a menu.
* Use the UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS to scroll up to SAFEMODE
* Then press the ENTER KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD

* Go to My Computer/ C: Drive/ Documents and Settings/ Local Settings/ Every User on this Computer
and delete all the contents of the Temp Folder

* Go to My Computer/ C:/ Windows/ Temp and delete all the contents of the Temp Folder

* Go to My Computer/ C:/ Windows/ Prefetch and remove all the contents of the Prefetch Folder.
But not the Prefetch folder itself.

NOW RE-BOOT NORMALLY

* Open INTERNET EXPLORER
* Click on the TOOLS MENU
* Then INTERNET OPTIONS
* At the GENERAL TAB (which should be the first tab you are currently on),
* click on the DELETE FILES BUTTON and put a checkmark in DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENT.
* Then press the OK BUTTON . This may take quite a while, so do not be alarmed with how long it takes.
* When it is done, your Temporary Internet Files will now be deleted.

Now Empty your Recycle Bin

System Restore makes regular backups of all your settings, if you ever had to use this program to restore your
system to a previous date, you will be infected all over again so we need to clean out the previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore.

* Right-click My Computer.
* Click Properties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot your System

Turn ON System Restore.

* Right-click My Computer.
* ClickProperties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* UN-Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.

* Go to Start/ Control Panel/ Performance and Maintenance/ System Restore/ Create a New Restore Point
You can name the restore point anything you like, something that you can remember

* Make sure that your ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE is up to date and run a full scan at least once aweek.

* Here are Free Anti-Virus Programs if you need one

AVG Free Edition
AntVir Personal Edition

* Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4
Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.

* Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
Check for Updates and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.

* Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.

* Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

* Win Patrol This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and
give you the option to deny the change.

* IE- Spyad IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains
in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed,
although you will still be able to connect to the sites.

* Firefox Browser
It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use
them both. When it asks you if you want it to be your default browser, say NO and take the checkmark out of the box to ask you again. After you use this
for awhile, you will want to make it your default.

* Thunderbird Mail There companion mail program was highly favored in PCWorld Magazine,
this has a good spam filter and is more secure than Outlook Express.

* Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't
access the internet without it.

* WINDOWS UPDATES - Enable Automatic Updates
Right click on MY COMPUTER/Click on PROPERTIES/ AUTOMATIC UPDATES and put a mark in the radio button
DOWNLOAD UPDATES FOR ME BUT LET ME CHOOSE WHEN TO INSTALL THEM.

* Go to START/ CONTROL PANEL> PERFROMANCE AND MAINTENANCE> REARRANGE ITEMS ON YOUR HARD DISK TO MAKE PROGRAMS RUN FASTER
This is the Windows Disk Defragger, run this maybe once or twice a month to keep your system running good. The first time you run it, it may take awhile.

I hope you find the answers to your problems, this forum is for the removal of Malware so I cant help you any further, we just do malware and virus removal.

Thanks for using Tom Coyote
