computer keeps rebooting ... while I'm doing important stuff

Here is my HiJackThis log. Please note I ran it AFTER I deleted Prevx1. Prevx1 does not show up in Windows Explorer …but there it is. I deleted Prevx1, because I was getting a small Prevx1 window in the lower right corner of the screen just before the computer rebooted. I had previously deleted AVG because at first glance I thought it was causing the problem. The small window is up for about half a second.

Two weeks ago I had troubles and used Prevx, AVG, AdWare, CCleaner, ewido and Windows Explorer to clean out dozens of viruses, worms, Trojans and god knows what. I've spent two weeks dealing with problems and had my first real case of hysterics this morning, I believe.

Prevx1 ran earlier today and did not find any problems. The last time I ran ewido, it said I was clean (sorry, I don't have the energy or brain cells to run again before I post.)

Does anyone see anything here that doesn't belong?

OK, guilt got to me after I calmed down. I've tried to run ewido, so I could post a log. The computer does not stay up long enough. I'm a freelance writer with all my work and assignments on my hard drive. Deadlines are approaching, and I'm dead in the water. Anyone?
Welcome to the forum :wavey:

Download combofix.exe from the link below:

Combofix.exe

Save it to your desktop.

Run it.

When finished, it will produce a log for you.

Post that log in your next reply, along with a new HijackThis! log.

I'm at work at the moment, and may not be able to reply for a few hours.

Hang in there, I think we can salvage the ship before it sinks.
:)

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
Here are the requested logs. Gotta hurry, before it reboots. LOL

Disable Microsoft Windows Defender:
We need to disable your Microsoft Windows Defender Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.
  • Open Microsoft Windows Defender. Click Start, Programs, Windows Defender
  • Click on Tools, General Settings.
  • Under Real-time protection options, unselect the Turn on real-time protection check box
  • Click Save
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\windows\system32\msrredir.exe <— file

c:\windows\system32\w730eff7.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\stonedrv.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis! log file into this thread. :)
Just up from a nap. Have to do the fixes later–off to set up the polls for our primary tomorrow. It looks promising, though. Hope is starting to raise his timid, tiny head.
I don't want to "rain on your parade", but….

This may not be a good sign:

Rootkit driver pe386 is present. A rootkit scan is required
:o

We'll check for that at the appropriate time, and see what comes…
;)
I ran HiJack This and told it to fix the items. Went into Safe Mode and could not find msrredir.exe, w7303ff7.dll or stonedriv.exe. Hidden files should have shown up (I said I wanted to see them).

I won't even ask about the newest thing you had to say. One step at a time.

Here is the latest HiJack This log

Just got HJT two weeks ago. How quickly the world changes, eh?

Yeah, I've uninstalled Prevx1. Let's get rid of the artifacts, please.

Just got HJT two weeks ago. How quickly the world changes, eh?

Yeah, I've uninstalled Prevx1. Let's get rid of the artifacts, please.

I'm working at a polling place tomorrow. Have to be there at 5:00 a.m. Not sure if I'll be back on tonght. If not, it will be at least 24 hours before I can get back to the computer. FYI, so you don't think I've abandoned the project. Thanks again. I don't want to take an axe to the machine tonight.

So far so good. :thumbup:

You're still using the "outdated version":

Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.2

Can you use the latest, and post a new log, so I can be sure.

How's the machine running at this point?
