        Whew.  I really appreciate your help SuperDave.  As clearly as you post instructions, I must admit I still struggle getting things lined up right.  ( ! )

        Here we go:

        Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.  This turned into a big mess for me.  I can paste the two logs into Notepad.  When I save as onto desktop the resulting icon I've never seen before.  Something like a gear.  All this done on this, my desktop machine, as laptop still cannot access the Net. 

        If I click on resulting, "gear," icon, I get a black window with a lot of different stuff in it and the file name ends in, "cmd.exe."  It also seems to scroll quickly, and exit. 

        I have to leave for a while.  When I get back I'll begin all over again.

        Dennis

        The logs are already created in Notepad. All you need to do it copy and paste them in your reply. If that doesn't work, just attach the logs to your reply.

          Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

          Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

          Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

          Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

            Beginner
            Hi:
            Out of caution, I decided to post this with a question.

            First, when attempting to go on-line to the Net, I had once recently seen, "can't find proxy server," when trying to open IE.  In town yesterday I asked my ISP about proxy server and he said they don't use it and I shouldn't have it.  So in IE Tools, I found it checked; I unchecked it. I couldn't remember what I should have in the first place.

            I can now access the Net. 

            Next I just did everything on your last list stopping just before ComboFix.  (Deleted Messenger, removed old Adobe Reader and installed the latest version)  Using the laptop itself to do downloads.


            I cannot find ComboFix on the BleepingComputer site at all.  I looked at GeeksToGo and found it under an alternate download site.  While doing that I noticed some forum comments, etc., that warned about not using ComboFix unless under highly trained supervision, (but that's you.)  And, as you admonished, warnings about turning off AV and spyware, etc.  Apparently someone was using ComboFix and thereafter could not boot up their computer.   

            Now that I'm nervous after reading that, I am thinking of going into Control Panel and doing Removes for HiJack This and the other programs you suggested so far.  The restarting my laptop.  Then I'll, "turn off AVG and SpyBot." 

            After all that I'll download ComboFix from an alternative site. 

            As a side comment, now that I can go on-line to the Net, were I not otherwise aware, I'd think this laptop is running fine.  A long time ago I decided that even when I think a machine is running clean, I STILL don't trust that something hasn't inflitrated and is sitting in there waiting to do harm.  So I agree with continuing to purge this laptop, no matter how good it's beginning to look.

            So should I fully delete your earlier download suggestions and continue with ComboFix after that as I stated above?

            Dennis

            When you click on the first download link you should just get a download box. What browser are you using? You may have to use Internet Explorer but I just tried it with FireFox and it works.

            You can uninstall HJT. We are finished with it. Please run ComboFix and post the logs.

              Whew; again...

              I'm using IE.  (I downloaded Firefox a day or so ago in case IE was un-fixable)

              I disabled AVG for the 15 minutes, (which appears to be the maximum)  By the time I got under way, that time expired during ComboFix, but CF saw it and put up a warning.  I simply un-installed AVG.  Then I brought ComboFix back up and proceeded as you directed.  It came to a blue box with, "preparing to run."  I waited, and it asked to download Recovery Console, which I did.  Then, before I could type in the line you wanted ending in, "stepdel," it went into AutoScan.  Ran through some 50 processes.  I just let it go.  The end log is included here:

              So did I do wrong by not finding a place or opportunity to type in that one line? 

              Presently I have un-installed ALL my protection programs in preparation for ComboFix.  So when we finish, I'll need to begin all over to download everything I, or YOU suggest, I need.

              Since this is now a defense-less laptop, I'll turn it off until I hear from you again.

              I'm glad YOU understand these logs.  ?????????

              I simply un-installed AVG

              Before we continue download and install a free antivirus.

              Remember to only install one antivirus!
               
              1) Avast! Home Edition
              2) AVG Free Edition
              3) Avira AntiVir Personal
              4) Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows Vista\Windows 7 - 64 bit Download
              4-a) Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows XP
              5) Comodo Antivirus (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
              6) PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition

              It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.

                Good Morning.  I'm home again and back to work.

                Yesterday I downloaded AVG 2011, installed it and updated it.  Then I re-booted, brought up AVG and updated it again.  I stopped when there were no more updates.

                Here is the SysProtLog:

                  OK:

                  I brought up this forum on the laptop.  Held control key and clicked the link once.  After a while nothing happened, so I did that over double-clicking.  Then I noticed an eset something running on top along the tool bar.  Now I have two of those listed up there.  (Probably should have walked away the first time and looked later to see what was happening)

                  Not sure I should hit, "back."  So I'll wait a while.

                  Using IE here, apparently I have two functions to perform:  Get the link up and click on the green ESET bar.  Then nothing I do until log appears. 

                  So far, I see no green bar.
