[crunchie]

I wouldn't imagine you would have to reinstall for these problems. Sorry that your last thread was overlooked. It get's pretty busy around here.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\MYTZENC.EXE

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {70668828-A43B-D960-70D2-82B478392A64} - C:\Program Files\cdmdownld\cojppsugpj.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Sysnet] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\snuninst.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [seeve] C:\WINDOWS\seeve.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [motoin] C:\WINDOWS\mm15201518.Stub.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [exp.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\exp.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [2ca4d36019e4] C:\WINDOWS\system32\aaaamon0.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MYTZENC] C:\WINDOWS\MYTZENC.EXE

Now, with all windows closed (including Internet Explorer) except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\MYTZENC.EXE
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\snuninst.exe
C:\WINDOWS\seeve.exe
C:\WINDOWS\mm15201518.Stub.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\exp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\aaaamon0.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Let me know how everything goes.

Crunchie...HELP!!! :cry:

I did everything you instructed me to do. The only file I was able to delete from the C: was C:/windows/mytzenc.exe

The rest were not present.

When I tried to reboot, my pc will no longer work. I can't get into Windows. I tried it via Safe Mode, but it always freezes when it shows the "Windows" icon. I don't get past that.

What now???

I'm writing to you from my son's computer, but I need to access files that are on mine.

Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

[crunchie]

Hit the F8 button whilst booting and choose "Last Known Good Configuration." See if that allows you to get in.

[rkerner]

Did as you suggested. I got an error message:

One of the system's registry files had to be recovered....everything ok.

I clicked "OK", then it froze at the Windows icon again :(

[rkerner]

Crunchie:

I appreciate your helping me with this. :)

[DMR]

Before doing a full reinstall, you can try a Repair install. The repair process will replace your damaged/infected/missing Windows system files with fresh copies from the CD, but will (or at least should) leave your programs and data intact.

Step-by-step instructions for doing the repair can be found here:
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

[rkerner]

I was not able to do a repair install, but the link led me to a fix for booting up windows XP. I seem to still have spyware issues though. here's my HJT log:

Any help is appreciated.

Your latest log is clean. :)

I seem to still have spyware issues though

What exact issues are you still experiencing?

Your latest log is clean. :)

What exact issues are you still experiencing?

Well, I had popups when I logged onto the internet, but I reset my Internet Settings to block pop ups and things seem ok with that.

BUT, after doing the fix to Windows XP yesterday, my computer seems to think I no longer have a CD drive. It used to be drive D. Now, I have an "F" drive that is labeled "removable disk". I noticed this today when I tried to burn a cd.

Everything was fine yesterday and I used my Windows XP disk to restore some files (as per the link to the website you sent me.).

Also, I had a subscription to MusicMatch, and it appears that I still have the program, but it won't load. It just flashes for a split-second and then disappears.

Any idea what happened?

Thanks for helping with this.
