If you want to see what was replaced, right click My Computer > manage, expand event viewer > system.


Was anything replaced? Are you still having problems with your computer?

Pleas answer and post (reply) with a new hijackthis log.

There are "warning" flags next to all the DCHP files, as well as one "error" sign. There is also an "error" next to a file called IPNATHLP, and one for RemoteAccess, cdrom, and Service Control Manager. There is an "information" flag next to the files labeled TCIP. – Those were all from the event viewer. So far, I haven't recieved any worm/vb.dw warnings today, and the computer is running at normal speed.

Ok. I just re-ran sfc, and it only came up with 7 items in the event viewer, none of them warnings or errors. Just "information" tabs on TCpip, Browser, and Windows File Protection.
Post #36
No luck with IE. Everytime I try to open the browser, it tells me that it can't locate IEXPLORE.exe. I am also still having problems with Paint. It opens, but freezes every time.

I located Iexplore.exe, and the file ran successfully….or so it seemed…I can only locate Internet Explorer through the search option, and when I click on it, it doesn't run right. I managed to restore Paint, Calc, etc. on my own with the Windows XP disc. There was an option to "Install Additional Windows Components", and I clicked them all, including Accessories and Internet Explorer. Well, the accessories worked, but IE still is just an "about blank" screen. I have tried new addresses in the toolbar, but nothing happens…just a white screen.

Now, I recognize the name of the files that came up. They all also came up when I did a search in Windows. When I clicked on them to open, they all did the "about:blank" screen in the IE window.
