       faizalb15...... Is your pc connected to the net via a network or as a stand alone ?

      Which operating system are you using ?
      Can you scan your pc with hijackthis and post the logfile here for us to look at .

          Only download Hijackthis and other similar tools from trusted sites!!!!!
          Hijackthis.de is not yet established and download.com is one of the most infected sites on the net!

          In no particular order and apologies to those I've missed out:
          www.spywareinfo.com
          www.majorgeeks.com
          www.tomcoyote.org
          www.castlecops.com
          www.subratam.org
          www.lockergnome.com


          This sounds like an RCT. Whilst it may be a prank, it could carry some very serious implications.
          Carry out the procedures outlined in this post and report back.

            I have noticed that you have made that comment before .........What are you basing that on ........ I and many others have D/L utilities from that location on many occassions and have never had any issues.
            If you could site some reliable sources it would be helpful.

            This is the first link that I found via Google. There are sources which support my statement all over the internet:
            http://www.lifehacker.com/software/spyware-cleaners/downloadcom-congratulates-self-for-filtering-spyware-101399.php
            Those that have been security concious and aware of security issues for some time know well that downloaddotcom is/was an infected rats nest.

            The first rule of malware detection/prevention is to download anti malware utilities etc from the authors site or from trusted security sources only. Go anywhere else and you're asking for trouble.

              Due to a few misunderstandings, I just want to make it clear that this site provides only an online analysis, and [highlight]not[/highlight] HijackThis the program.
              The site has a direct download link to http://www.mmdirect.de/downloads/hijackthis_199.zip

              Hijackthis.de has improved a little of late but do a search on it's history. I don't really care who links to what. Downloaddotcom is/was a cesspit and it's wise to avoid it.
              In both instances, it's a case of leopards and spots. As yourselves this question, would you trust someone who has continually conned you over the years?

                CNET’s Download.com has always been a dodgy place to get software, and today they’ve proved it. As of yesterday, Download.com started testing their software for adware and spyware - and removed nearly 600 products from their index in the process.
                ........ yes perhaps there were issues in the past , however ...... it would appear they have the issue under control. I certainly have no connection to Download.com and as stated before ...... I and many others have D/L utilities from that location on many occassions and have never had any issues.  

                I am giving you first hand experience ...re downloading from that site , not some year old comment .

                As I said, that was the first link I came across in Google. There are well documented accounts all over the net and I have had perhaps not first hand experience but I had to deal with a system that was heavily infected after a trojan downloader was included as an added extra in a file from ddcom.
                This was only about 2 months ago. As I said, leopards and spots.

                If you give advice to users regarding the subject of virus/malware removal and prevention, please direct them to trusted sources only if they need tools etc.
                It's not too much to ask is it? >:(

                  I tend to offer advice or opinions based on first hand experience rather than he said , she said information.

                  There are rules to follow where infection detection, removal and prevention is concerned. If you cannot heed the first and cardinal rule then please do not offer advice on this matter; it's really as simple as that. If you cannot understand that, then users of this forum should be warned to ignore your "advice".

                  I've had many long years of experience in this game and I haven't lost a customer yet! I operate on facts and I abide by rules; rules that are in place for a very good reason.

                  Perhaps you think I enjoy wasting my time slagging off download sites for the fun of it. Well I can tell you now, I don't!
                  I certainly have no hidden agenda, do you?

                    faizalb15...... I know you said you had run scans with your anti virus as well as
                    ad-aware and MCAfee Antispyware and nothing was found.  Did you run these scans from the safe mode ?

                    You mentioned you are connected to the net via a network (LAN) .....is this your network or one at work?

                    You also mentioned that your machine works perfectly when not connected to the network .  This would suggest that the issue may not be resident on your pc.

                    I also notice that you do not have SP2 installed .......Is there some reason you don't , as it has additional security items included which increase your protection.

                    Are you connected behind a router ?

                    I also notice you are using a proxy server ........ any particular reason why ?

                    If you can answer these questions , we can move along .

                    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

                    I can see a possibly very dangerous entry indeed that would cause the symptoms you first described but before I can disclose it I need to know more about the situation in which this computer is used.

                    As usual, there are a few unnecessary but non malicious entries.

                      Firewall?
                      I think your problems come from within your network.
                      Do you have an IT person?

                      SP2 is not an option, it's a vital necessity.

                      This log can soon be amended and cleared but I need to have a chat to someone first.
