Could This Be Hardware Related?

My fiance's pc is connected to my home network and previously had access to a shared internet connection via my linksys router. This morning he ran a virus scan with AVG because the pc was acting kinda quirky. My son got up after the scan finished, while we were sleeping, and removed some viruses. He says he was able to access the internet since he completed the virus cleaning, but as of now. I can't access the internet. I am able to access both of the other computers via the linksys router, just not the internet. Also, I reran AVG and it didn't find anything at all, but after the scan no matter which icon I clicked on the desktop it only would open one folder. As well, the pc wouldn't allow me to just do a restart - the choice kept changing to standby on the reboot window. Its like I have no control of the mouse. Finally, I just did a log out and got to the log in screen and powered off the pc. Upon reboot, this issue seemed to disappear. I am wondering if it could be related to the Zboard keyboard or the Reaper mouse that he uses for gaming. I did run an HJT log, with my limited knowledge, I didn't see anything to be concerned about. After rebooting, I downloaded the trial version of TrojanHunter and attempted to scan with that. I kept getting warning messages that it didn't have enough space to scan certain files, so I stopped the scan. I am not sure what that means. Looking at hard drive space and checking the amount of ram via system properties showed no changes. What would cause TrojanHunter not to be able to scan certain files? Is this normal? What suggestions do you have for me to try to restablish my internet connection? I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks a ton! –> Update: PC now will connect to internet after running a WinXP network diagnostics tool. Still not sure what is up with the trojanhunter messages. Any ideas?

Here are the strange messages from the TrojanHunter demo version: Registry scan No suspicious entries found Inifile scan No suspicious entries found Port scan No suspicious open ports found Memory scan No trojans found in memory File scan Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stephen's Documents\battlefield\DesertCombat_0[1].7_Full_Install.exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stephen's Documents\battlefield\Star Wars Mod\galacticconquestr4setup.exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Fear Demo\fear_spdemo_en.exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Downloads\Thief3Setup(2).exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Other Stuff\KhanFullInstallV220.exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Steve's Folder 2\battlefield\DesertCombat_0[1].7_Full_Install.exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Steve's Folder 2\battlefield\Star Wars Mod\galacticconquestr4setup.exe: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) Error: Error while calling IsValidPeFile: Failed to create FileMappingView Win32: Not enough storage is available to process this command (8) No trojan files found Please let me know if this is normal for the demo version or if there is a problem with my computer.

Thanks!

Your Pit Test Results offers several important Tune-Up recommendations.
Please complete those recommendations.
___________

You have multiple versions of JAVA Runtime environment, all of them out-of-date and containing vulnerabilities:

Completely Uninstall all versions of JRE, including all of the following and any others that may appear:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9 Sun Microsystems, Inc. Nov 25, 2006
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8 Sun Microsystems, Inc. Aug 24, 2006
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.1_03 Feb 17, 2005
Java Web Start Feb 17, 2005

Next:
Go here to download the most recent version of JAVA Runtime environment:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
about half way down the page you want: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1
Click Download, then accept the License Agreement
I recommend that you use the "offline installation version"
Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language jre-6u1-windows-i586-p.exe 13.16 MB

(updating your JRE "may" allow Trojan Hunter to run correctly, but if not, you already have AVG AntiSpyware installed on your machine. (it is equally good for your needs, and maybe just a bit better )
__________

Update your AVG AntiSpyware

Reboot your machine into SAFE Mode
Run AVG AntiSpyware
Run your other antimalware utilities (while still in SAFE Mode if you chose to)
________

Other optional but probably beneficial changes listed below:
________

Optionally, you may benefit from "disabling" the following via MSCONFIG - StartUp (probably performance benefits!)

NVIDIA driver helper NVIDIA Corporation C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvsvc32.exe
Debugger Microsoft Corporation C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG\MDM.EXE
Rhapsody RealNetworks, Inc. C:\Program Files\Rhapsody\rhaphlpr.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Ideazon\Reaper\Reaper_Settings.exe
ideazon, Inc. C:\Program Files\Ideazon\ZEngine\Zboard.exe
wmpnscfg.exe Microsoft Corporation C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\WMPNSCFG.exe
__________

Optional - Owner/user choice:

You may benefit from uninstalling the following Yahoo toolbar and utilities:

Yahoo! Toolbar Aug 10, 2006
Yahoo! Messenger Explorer Bar Feb 20, 2006
Yahoo! Toolbar Jan 29, 2007
Yahoo! Internet Mail Jan 29, 2007
