shelf life, Thanks for the help you've been giving me, i apprieciate it. Anyhow, i did what you said and had the same results. it goes the motions of entering Safe Mode. Eventually the screen goes black and it say's Safe Mode in all four corners of the monitor with the windows info. across the top. The arrow appears in the middle of the screen then it just sits there and nothing happens. I've left it like that over night and nothing changed. I know you don't think the wireless problem is related to this problem but it seems that both problems started happening at the same time. One more bit of information. i recently replaced my video card and increased my RAM. Had no problems installing either one and the computer was running fine. Don't now if either one of these could contribute to my problems but just thought i'd let you know. Also, the computer with the problem belongs to my 13 year old daughter who thinks the world is coming to an end without having the internet. So if there's any way to work on both problems together that would save me from my daughter. Thanks, Deadshort

hi deadshort,

download atf cleaner and use it ocassionaly, good for cleaning stuff out:

run ewido once and save the log file it generates. post the ewido log in your next reply. you can edit out the cookies.

download and run Winsock fix on the computer in question:

dont think the added RAM or video card had anything to do with the problem.

let me see if i can find anything out about the safe mode problem, although it looks like we wont be needing it now, that last hjt log looks ok.
i can understand your daughters feelings, i start to feel lost when my goes out for any length of time.

hi deadshort, ewido came up clean and the log dosnt look bad at all. did you try running the winsock fix. so the computer functions ok other than no internet connection and no desktop in safe mode? shelf life

shelf life, I'm not sure what i did but after rebooting everything seems to be fine. Got the internet back and was able to enter safe mode and run all the utility programs again. Pretty strange huh. Anyway thanks for all your help and fast response to my posts. You have been a great help. Thanks again, deadshort

hi deadshort,

good. glad to help, some info for you:

Be careful of what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with extra software.You may be installing more than you think. Learn more about the program, Does it come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? If you search hard enough you can always find a "clean" alternative to any software. Stay away from warez and crack sites. Becarful what you download from file sharing networks. If you are not sure, scan it with your Antivirus app. A small file (in KB) is probably not what you think it is. DO YOU TRUST THE SOURCE? Check this database:Spyware Guide or this: Library before installing free/shareware.

Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update
occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. These patch flaws/bugs that can be exploited.

Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more:
Working with Internet Explorer 6 Security
Many exploits are directed at Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it. Try a different browser. You can have and use more than one browser on your computer.
Like Firefox,


Install a Firewall:A firewall will help to control what comes in from the internet and what leaves your computer to the internet. Zone Alarm is a free and easy to use firewall, that will provide in and outbound protection. XP firewall dosnt block outbound traffic. Its important to know/learn what routinely needs a internet connection.
Zone Alarm
OutPost Lite
Jetico Personal Firewall
Look n Stop

Outlook Express with the default settings is not secure. It will run scripts, download images etc, just like a browser, but this was the old Outlook Express. Service Pack 2 has made huge improvements to Outlook, but just like with Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it.
try Pegasus E-Mail.

Make sure you have and keep updated Antivirus software
Free for home users:
avast! 4 Home Edition Download
AVG free version 7.0
AntiVir Personal Edition
Clam Win

Download one or two of these, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make changes to your browser and or your habits)
CounterSpy Free trial version
Spybot Search and destroy
Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Microsoft Windows Defender
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"– there are many "rogue/suspect" programs that "claim to remove" spyware.Check here first.


AntiTrojan software to fill in the gap:
a2 free
Ewido Anti-Spyware
Trojan Hunter
Tauscan trial version

Other programs to consider:
Process Guard stop events/processes with user intervention
SpywareBlaster add security to IE
IE-SPYAD adds adware peddlers sites/domains to IE restricted zone
ATF cleaner (W2K,XP only) cleans out temp files,history, cookies etc.
