HI,
last year you have been very helpful in solving my computer problem.
I think I have caught something nasty again. I have run Malwarebytes and it picked up two things which I have removed. However, after the restart it didn't seem to have solved the problem (weird warning boxes popping up repeatedly), so I ran Hijackthis. I have attached both the malwarebytes log and the hijackthis log. Please advise me about the next steps.

Oh, one more thing: malwarebytes picked up the two infected files in things called Explorer and somthing. I am not using explorer, and would be happy to delete it if you suggest so...?

Thanks a lot!

Can you tell me what is "v" drive? It shows in your HJT log. You also are running two or parts of two anti-virus programs McAfee and Sophos, a big no-no. One of these must be completely uninstalled. Also uninstall Windows Defender. It really isn't "all it's cracked up to be".

What do these warning boxes say?

After you have replied concerning the "v" drive and the warning boxes and removed the extra anti-virus program and Windows Defender please follow the steps given on our Read Me first sticky and post back with those requested logs.

HI,

thanks for the feedback. I will get rid of the anitvirus McAfee and Windows defender - somehow people here suggested to run those, too. Will get back with you soon.

HI again,

I am not sure whether I am running P2P programs. My computer is networked within my workplace. Does this mean I would have to start it in standalone mode for the repairs?

Thus also the v drive, which is part of the networking system and contains programs.

While I am networked at my workplace, there is no sufficient computer support available, and that's why in the past your help has been so valuable. If you feel that I shouldn't be contacting you, I appreciate that.

The error messages I get are as follows:

swi_service.exe – Application Error
The instruction at ‘0x00415ac0’ referenced memory at ‘0x653c3458’. The memory could not be ‘read’. Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

Proxy configuration
Proxy configuration has encountered a problem and needs to close. WE are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. For more information about this error, click here. Debug / Close

Sophos Web Intelligence
Sophos WEb Intelligence has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something...[same as above]

Well to be honest this is quite difficult. I am only "guessing" here. Some of this may be connected to the fact that you are networked with other computers. Does each computer in the network have it's own separate av program, all different or are all of them using Sophos? Does the network have security programs also? Do you know if any others are having these difficulties or errors?

HI,

I had a chat with a colleague today who doesn't seem to have some of the error messages (He doesn't get the one about Sophos), so I am assuming that part of the problem has to do with my computer.
I feel really bad taking up your time. My computer works fine, except that I get these messages, and I am always a bit worried that they could indicate something is hidden somewhere, doing something bad.

sorry, I told you something the wrong way around - my colleagues gets the Sophos message, not the others.

Sorry I can't help more but this does appear to be connected to your office network and the anti virus program they have chosen for you. I would hesitate telling you to do something or use something which could cause problems on your work network.
Since they are all networked then your employer needs to address these problems.
You all really need to band together and demand assistance.

HI again,
thanks again for your help/time. I did get some help from my work place after all, and they suggested to wipe the PC hard drive, which I ended up doing. It was quite time consuming, but now almost everything is up and running again. I hope I won't get into virus difficulties soon again.
One last question though: I have had some quite conflicting information from several people that there are some virus protection/scanning programs that can be run together on a computer... which would contradict your response earlier. What is the situation here, and if you don't want to get into too much detail, where can I find some guidance? I feel a bit lost at what I hear I should or shouldn't be doing!

Otherwise my case is closed. Thanks!
