Thanks for your reply and offer to help, little eagle

My new log is below.

In Notepad, word wrap is unchecked.

I ran Spybot again today. Got same "Error During Check! BackOrifice.B [Datei C:\WINDOWS\Wininit.ini kann nicht geoffnet werden. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by…"
This has happened with every check since sometime last year, perhaps around the same time as i lost all Explorer dependent applications.

The frequent explorer-related error message is "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library X Runtime Error! Program:C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

An error message i get right after startup, on desktop before any windows are opened is: "KHost.exe - Unable to Locate Compoment This application has failed to start because klws.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.

I deleted a new program detected by Watchdog - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\usrv80-a.exe

The first thing i did today was to download,install and run Ad-Aware, per the forum tutorial instructions. It froze up during every Deep Scan, always stopped at a benign folder of text documents - basic letters written by me in a folder titiled KONG. So i did a Smart Scan, quarantining 1 trojan downloader agent and 67 lesser threats. Then i attempted Deep Scan again but same result of unresponsive computer.

I hope this information helps you to help me. Thanks in advance, from nonlinear

Okay i did all you suggested. Upon startup, it takes a long time for icons to appear on blank desktop. Then i get the Khost.exe error message to install klws.dll. Tried to open Explorer and got same Runtime error.
But pages load faster since i ran all those anti-spy programs.

Odd recent problem is when i go to a new page and click on it , instead the url addresses drop down, until i click on page several times. Some features of touchpad still disabled, since i got message that computer had detected another device.

Thank you again. Here is my new log.

The khost.exe process is used by the kontiki 'delivery management system' (DMS). The Kontiki DMS system is used to share and track files across a network or the internet. If you access data that is provided using the Kontiki DMS system you should leave this process running. Otherwise, it can be terminated.

the file klws.dll can be found here http://www.afreedll.com/dll/info/klws_dll.html

Or you can kill O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [kdx] C:\WINDOWS\kdx\KHost.exe with hijackthis and delete the file.

Any ideas as to how to regain use of internet explorer? Not only for web browsing; the runtime error message comes up whenever i try to open saved documents, email photos and several other actions where it is involved by default. So that is my priority now. If you want to recommend a program to block popups, please do. I have not posted another HJT log since no changes have been made - hope i am correct in thinking that. I did download the file dlws.dll but i see from the last HJT log that i already had 04-HKLM\..\Run:[kdx]… i don't understand why i would get the KHost message before i even tried to open a window or do anything, having just turned the computer on. The computer is definitely less sluggish than it had been. I can't thank you enough for your help with my computer, and everybody else's thank you again, little eagle

Tried the obvious (to me) things long before i found my way to this forum. The microsoft pages do not address my particular problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling INTERNET EXPLORER does not help, and it does not help to reinstall Sp2. There are entries on google with my specific RUNTIME ERROR message, but none of them i found had the same situation or system… anyway nothing applicable has come up.

***Spybot still gets :"!Error During Check! BackOrifice.B [Datei C:\WINDOWS\wininit.ini kann nicht geoffnet werden." that it cannot access because this phantom file is supposedly in use.

and still the Khost error message and it is not looking for klws.dll on my behalf, like i said it happens on startup before i have a chance to initiate anything. Today Spycatcher intercepted "Wild Tangent" adware twice, immediately after restarts, and since then i have had several restarts without the message

Click start > control panel > user accounts > change the way users log on or off > uncheck fast user switching > restart you computor.

Download, unzip and run 'RootkitRevealer' from Sysinternals:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevealer.html
Once the program has started, press Scan and let it run.
When the scan is done, use 'File > Save' to place the logfile in a convenient location (such as the desktop). The default filename will be 'RootkitReveal.txt'.

Save your Log File
Copy/Paste the contecnts of that logfile into your next reply

NOT touch the PC at ALL for Whatever reason/s until it has 100% completed its scan, or attempted scan in case of some error etc !

That way you should have a much simpler and clearer log file in which to peruse and evaluate.

Thanks, it was very interesting to read about rootkits. There were some complications saving my logfile. And then it had to be both found again and not be missing shortcuts. What finally worked was to save in SYSTEM32 (default option, i think) and find again via Notepad on Start Menu. Here is my RootkitRevealer logfile. 18 discrepancies found: HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Epoch\Epoch 3/11/2006 11:55 AM 4 bytes Data mismatch between Windows API and raw hive data.

Click \start\run\then type in or paste in

sfc /scannow


You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to run sfc.

If sfc discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect file.

Try this link if you have any trouble.

sorry there had to be such a long lapse, breaking the continuity of this repair process which i so appreciate your going through with me. When running scannow, Windows file protection demanded i insert the XP cd, which i don't have, just the 3 Compaq QuickRestore disks. So i tried suggestions at updatexp.com . Explored the Restore cds but none of the folder or file names meant anything to me, no folder named 1386. There is a folder in my computer called C:\1386. In regedit i went to HKEY_LOCAL.MACHINR\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup and the source path was C:. Changed it to C:\ per the advice at update.com. No difference when i ran scannow again. Wondered about some registry entries: .dl_ folder and PersistantHandler subfolder in both .dl_ and .dll folders. ***Since last week, when i press F8 for advanced starting options it just pauses startup. No advanced start options and that is the only way i know how to get into Safe Mode. I had left a Compaq QuickRestore cd in the drive and when i resumed windows from hibernation there was a stark screen with message that i would lose all data on my computer if i continued and to immediately eject the cd to prevent this. So i am a little scared of those cds now and i don't know how to reclaim necessary files from them. Of course it didn't work to insert one when asked for the XP Home Editon CD-Rom. Anyway, i think i exhausted the suggestions at the web link and i don't know how to utilize the rstore CDs i have so that scannow can do its thing. What do you suggest?
