explorer.exe keeps crashing winXP - Page 2

[zbizzy]

In going through your logs to see what files were running and which could be stopped using Task Manager I discovered that you are running TWO firewalls, at least, three if the Windows firewall is enabled.
This is an absolute No-No. ONE firewall on a computer is the rule.
This may very well be one reason your MBA-M scans are taking so long...multiple firewalls blocking it's action and causing it to stall, especially Zone Alarm. Get rid of Zone Alarm, uninstall it since the McAfee Firewall is part of your security suite from them.

the zonealarm is on there because i have a couple music software programs that like to dial home and the mcafee actually allows them to do so... the progs are legit software so it isnt that i dont want them detected, i just dont care for the fact that they try to call home with each load up, and zonealarm is the only one ive been able to actually use to block them from doing so... and i dont have windows firewall running, cuz it is a pain in my ass haha

[zbizzy]

here's the quick scan log file from mbam, nothing to remove... should i reboot first then run HJT, or go ahead and run it since nothing was said to be removed in mbam?

ok, brb :)

[jholland1964]

zonealarm is the only one ive been able to actually use to block them from doing so.

Then you have to disable the McAfee one, this would be one reason for the infections, more than one firewall running can lessen protection not increase it.
I would bet a nickel that the Zone Alarm is the reason for the long MBA-M scans it is most definitely something that the MBA-M people are studying right now....it slows or freezes the scan...therefore making the scan run much longer than it should.

i actually tracked down the infections, it was from a uk news website that i frequent, that was itself infected...

and you are quite possibly right with the zone alarm thing - i disabled zonealarm to run the quick scan and it only took like 5 minutes or whatever it showed there...

[jholland1964]

I will report this to the MBA-M site.

[zbizzy]

so am I clean? good to go? nothing else to remove? id like to mark this thread solved and hand out some rep points if so :)

[cohen]

From what i can see, yes you are clean...

But what for either Judy for Crunchie to come along and confirm it.

But one more thing, you have viewpoint manager installed, and i recommend you uninstalling it.

Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs > Remove Viewpoint Manager.

Once you have done that, reboot, and post back with a fresh HJT log, so then i can make sure that is completely remove.

Thanks,

Cohen

Cohen is correct about Viewpoint, it is considered foistware and should be uninstalled. Also your Java is way out of date and must be updated. Go HERE and download the Offline Install file and save it to the desk top.
Once you have done the download go to Add/Remove and Uninstall ALL previous versions of Java that you find there. Once that is finished then go to that install file on the desktop and double click to install...be careful some installs offer the yahoo search bar which you don't need so be sure to remove the check mark from that if you see it there. Once the new Java is installed then go back to the download page and on the right side you will see Verify Now. Click that to verify the installation was successful.
Once that is done then you should set a new and now clean System Restore point.

To do this do the following:
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" as shown in this illustration:
5. Click Apply.
6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
7. Click OK.
Wait a few minutes and do the same thing only this time take OUT that check mark and System Restore will turn back on with a new and clean restore point.
Judy

[zbizzy]

ok done... so that's it?

[cohen]

ok done... so that's it?

Pls run HJT again and post back with a fresh log, so we can check that everything is fine.

Alright, everything looks up to date and Viewpoint is removed and gone.

That's a nice clean log :)

[zbizzy]

ok to delete the c:/ComboFix folder now too? isnt there some run code like combofix /u or something i need to do now?

[zbizzy]

i mean c:/qoobox - where the quarantined stuff is, etc

[cohen]

Yes, pls uninstall Combo Fix by going Start > Run > Type "combofix / u" (without the "") Then Continue.

If you need further help, visit here.

That will remove the quarantined folder as well.

Thanks,

Cohen

To uninstall ComboFix.exe And all Backups of files that it deleted

* 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.
When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"
Glad to see you updated the java. Also must caution you again about running two firewalls at the same time. Why not disable the McAfee Firewall in services and then only one will be running. This really can leave your system at risk running both.

Sorry Cohen, didn't see you there.
