I am having some very strange system problems. I noticed that my browser acts strange, I have to restart quite often due to a svchost error. I also cannot run msconfig to determine if there is something in my startup, I get this error :
System Configuration Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I also cannot run a system restore, I get this error:
System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run system restore again.

Once I get the service host error, my browswer starts blinking, my task bar goes from blue to white, and I have to restart the system to get it to work properly again.

I have run Ad-Aware and AVG anti-virus both in regular and in safe mode with only cookies showing in Ad-Aware and no threats at all with AVG.

Thank you in advance for any help I can gather in determining what is wrong with my PC.

Here is my HJT log:

[Rou]

Do I not have enough info here to get some help? Please let me know what else you may need to know. I should also add that I have defragged the system and done disk scans. I am having a great deal of difficulty, someone please help

[LDTate]

Hello and Welcome to the forum.

I suggest you do this:

You can use windows sfc (system file checker) You'd need your XP CD to make this work.
Click Start> Run> type sfc /scannow Note the space.
(Note that there is a space between sfc and /scannow)

[Rou]

Thank you very much for responding. I have done this, and came up with nothing Any other ideas?

[LDTate]

We can try this

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

Next:


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

[Rou]

OK, I ran the cleaner, and ran the ComboFix, but it stalled at the point where I get the prompt that says:
Preparing log report.
Do not run any programs until ComboFix has finished.
I thought maybe something running in the background had stalled it, so I restarted my pc, closed everything in the taskbar checked for any programs still running in task manager, and got the same result.

This is the text file that did save from ComboFix:

Although the ComboFix did not run completely, I can now run msconfig, and found that I had a program called PowerReg Scheduler running at startup...some research tells me that this is a spyware. I disabled it, and deleted the.dat and .exe files with the name PowerReg from my system. I restarted, and did a search for these files, they did not reinstall (good news, I hope).

I would like to know if you see anything else in my logs that you believe are harmful to my system, I will try to re-run combofix with the improvements in the system.


Thank you very much...

Try combofix again Note: Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected, if it does open task-manager > use the processes tab (press ctrl alt and del at the same time) and end any process's of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue. If that happened we want to know and what process you had to end.

My system is running much better with all the diagnostics and cleaners you have suggested I use. And with the removal of the spyware. I have also installed the Explorer update (now that updates will install again).

I very much appreciate your help, you have helped me incredibly! As I said before, I have never run into a problem I couldn't research and fix before. You have given me some great knowledge and tools to help me stay on the ball

As before, please let me know if anything in the log jumps out at you as unusual or a threat...
Thank you very much,
Rou

Just a little cleanup

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a checkmark/tick in the box on the left side on these:

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"



Good job

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
  
  
  • 
• If shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

Here's my usual all clean post

Log looks good


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

Click Start Menu > Run > copy and paste

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it (something you'll remember) and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

• Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
  (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
  Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
  I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
  Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
  This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
  If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
  until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.
  This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection.
  You should also scan your computer with this program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer
  settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  
  
• IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
  
  Using IE-SPYAD to help block unwanted sites and activities
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
  Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
