Hiya everyone I'm new to this forum. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I hope this is the correct section to post. Not sure what the problem is but I've done a Hijack This log.

I am having several problems that all began at the same time.

1) I cannot log in to MSN messenger 7.5. I get error 80048820. I clicked
troubleshoot and the repair button that followed, which failed to fix
the problem,
but did generate a 2nd error code: 80072efd. I have checked my PC date
and
time and it is correct. I also tried to use the time synchronize button
from "date
and time properties", this failed to synchronize. I have run the various
regsvr32
*****.dll commands and all were successful, but didn't help. I did a
winsock
fix. I have compared my proxy settings with a friend running the same
OS and
that checks out ok. I ran the MSN messenger repair, then uninstalled MSN
messenger and reinstalled it. Still cannot log in.

2) Internet Explorer opens but will not connect to anything. Just hangs with
a white
screen saying connecting.

3) The add/remove programs on the windows control panel opens but hangs with
a white screen saying populating list. Everything else from the control
panel
seems to work fine.

4) I can not get any windows updates from "microsoft.com" On the page
"searching for updates for your computer", I get this error:" 0x80072EFD
- The
website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are
trying
to view. " This has gone on for the last 5 days, so surely it isn't a
problem with
the website.

This began after a program called spy catcher by Tenebril ran a spyware
check.
After the check was complete my PC would freeze up completely for 2 minutes
then work again for 4 minutes, and continually repeat this cycle. I have
manually
removed most of spy catcher and ghost surf by the same company. This solved
the
freeze up problem but the other 4 problems listed above continue. It seems
to be
that MSN messenger and internet explorer "think" I am not connected to the
internet. Does anyone have any idea as to what is causing this?

Thankyou

Hello and welcome to the forum. Sorry about the delay in responding :( If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
Hiya LDT and thankyou for replying. The situation is the same as I posted first off. I have posted it again with a new log below. Hope this helps.


1) I cannot log in to MSN messenger. I get error 80048820. I clicked troubleshoot and the repair button that
followed, which failed to fix the problem, but did generate a 2nd error code: 80072efd. I have checked my
PC date and time and it is correct. I also tried to use the time synchronize button from "date and time

successful. I did a winsock fix. I have compared my proxy settings with a friend running the same OS and
that checks out ok. I ran the MSN messenger repair, then uninstalled MSN messenger and reinstalled it.
Still cannot log in.

2) Internet Explorer opens but will not connect to anything. Just hangs with a white screen saying
connecting.

3) The add/remove programs on the windows control panel opens but hangs with a white screen saying
populating list. Everything else from the control panel seems to work fine.

4) I can not get any windows updates from "microsoft.com" On the page "searching for updates for your
computer", I get this error:" 0x80072EFD - The website has encountered a problem and cannot display
the page you are trying to view. " This has gone on for the last 5 days, so surely it isn't a problem with the
website.

It seems to be that MSn messenger and internet explorer "think" I am not connected to the internet. Do you have have any idea as to

Many thanks for trying to help

I'm not seeing anything really bad, but lets see what we find.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.


(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.

Next:

Download ComboFix from Here to your Desktop.
  • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you, combofix.txt. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick while its running. That may cause it to stall
Hi again,

Sorry for the delay. I thought Combofix wasn't working properly, it said it takes about 10 minutes and it was actually over an hour. Thankyou for your help.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
proxyfirewall was program I downloaded and used to try and resolve this myself. It didn't work and I uninstalledit, but it seems something from it is still left on mt computer. the R1 line isn't on the hijack scan I just did. There is a similar line with the proxy setting 127.0.0.1:7212. should i delete this?

That one might be alright. Post the new HJT log.
I deleted the O2 and O4 line then rebooted. When I ran HijackThis after the reboot, the R1 line you had asked me to remove was now on the scan. So I removed that and rebooted again.

Other than still not being able to log in to msn messenger and to IE my computer seems to work fine.

msn says gateway appears to be offline.
