Hi all,
I am new here, but I have a little problem:

I cant run internet explorer from desktop, and access links on both email or webpages.

My PC has been running quite slow for some time, but yesterday I clicked on a link that I should not have and before I knew it my PC was crawling with virus's.

AVG seems to have got rid of most of them (not all).

Here is the HJT log file of what it has found (Please HELP):

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

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

folders...

c:\windows\system32\dllcache\win32

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 by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

Reboot.

How is the PC? All looks good here.

How is the PC? All looks good here.

Hi Crunchie,
It seems about the same as it was before I stupidly clicked on that link, but is still running quite slow.

Any recommendations?

PS - The proxy.small that it found had been found before when I ran the AVG 7.5 full edition before I posted on here for help. Does that mean it is not deletable?

Regards

Laurence

Could mean that you picked it up again :).

Go here and download then run Silent Runners.vbs. Right click on the download link and select Save Target As. Save it to the desktop or to a folder in a permanent directory. It generates a log which will be created in the same folder you are running it from. Please post the information back in this thread.
If you have a script blocking program, please allow the file to run. It is not malicious.

Here is the log:

Hi Crunchie,
been away on another course until yesterday, switched pc on and windows loaded etc, but while on desktop it froze.

Rebooted and then it came up with message something similar to:

WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is either missing or corrupt. Try using recovery console to repair.

So I went into recovery reconsole and firstly backed up SYSTEM and then used the repair command.

It now boots back into windows but I am getting messages saying it has recovered from a serious error every 5 mins.

Any ideas?

Try this from the M$ website;

  • Click Start.
  • Right-click My Computer.
  • Click Properties.
  • On the Advanced tab, in the Performance section, click Settings.
  • In the Virtual Memory section, click Change.
  • For Paging file size for selected drive, click No Paging File, and then click Set.
  • Click Yes after the following warning appears:
    If the paging file on volume X: has an initial size of less than xx megabytes, then the system may not be able to create a debugging information file if a STOP error occurs. Continue anyway?

    (X is the drive letter and xx is the amount of RAM installed on your computer minus 1 megabyte.)

  • Click System Managed Size.
  • Click OK four times, and then restart the computer when you are prompted.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi Crunchie,
That seems to have speeded things up slightly but I am still getting these error messages flashing up every 20 secs, heres what it looks like:

[IMG]http://i23.tinypic.com/2rxg11w.jpg[/IMG]


And here is what appears when I click to see what error report contains:

[IMG]http://i22.tinypic.com/2zsb81s.jpg[/IMG]

And then when you click to view technical information, I get this:

[IMG]http://i21.tinypic.com/2vs0lyq.jpg[/IMG]

What should I do?

Ran my AVG Internet Security just now and found:

Worm.Nulprot.a Family

Things are going from bad to worse, lol

Download CCleaner and install, then run it.

  1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
  2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
  3. Close when finished.

When you have run it, check the Temp folder that you gave a screenshot for here http://i21.tinypic.com/2vs0lyq.jpg and make sure it is empty.

Hi Crunchie,
The folder was not even there.

Their were folders that were similar but not that one.

Something is still not right, I could not get my USB connections to work earlier, I had to uninstall USB in device driver and let PC find them again.

Regards

Laurence

No, I have system files unhidden.

Hi Crunchie,
Sorry I did not get back to you, but I decided on a re-format and fresh install, but that has resulted in new problems with SP2.

If you can help, I have posted a new thread with details:

http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post468469.html#post468469

If not thanks for all your help on this one!!!
