    Ms-dos window pops up every few seconds
    « on: January 12, 2008, 05:38:07 PM »
    A command prompt window appears for a half of a second every 3 seconds - continuously. This happens for a few days and then stops to my relief but comes back again after some weeks. Restarting or scanning the computer for viruses don't seem too work.

    The command prompt window says "The syntax of the command is incorrect"  I was able to catch what it said when the computer froze. Anyway, I have an HP computer running Windows Vista. Help?

       1.  You will notice that the "Start" button is grayed out. Place a check mark at "Yes, I accept the Terms of use". The "Start" button will become visible. Click on it.
       2. If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
       3. You will be asked to install an ActiveX, click the "Install" button (Note: If you have a Firewall install you may have to approve the installation)
       4. Once ActiveX control is installed click on the "Start" button to initialize the scanner
       5. After initialization is complete uncheck\untick "Remove found threats"
       6. Check\tick "Scan unwanted applications"
       7. Click the "Scan" button
       8. Once the scan is done, you will find a log in C:\Program Files\esetonlinescanner\log.txt
    Post ESET's log.

          OK.
          Your log is fairly clean, but...
          I can't see any antivirus, nor firewall running. What's up with that?
          I can see some Norton leftovers, and other unnecessary startups, which we'll have to clean up, eventually.

          I'd like to also ask you to upload launcher.exe file, located in C:\WINDOWS\SMINST folder to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ for security check.

            This scan found nothing. Anyway, the MS-DOS program no longer appears, though I am not sure if it is due to the programs that you recommended. The reason I say this is because it usually last a few days, then comes back few weeks later. Even though it stopped for now, I would like to know what is causing it and how to prevent it.

              I have Windows OneCare running. Onecare provides both those services.

              1. Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

              2. Close all windows, except for HijackThis.

              3. Put a checkmark next to the following HijackThis entries:

              - O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

              4. Click on "Fix checked" button.

              5. Restart computer, and post new HJT log.

                  I got a blue screen of death after doing that, should I be concerned?
                  If it happens again, write down the error message.

                  Now...
                  Go Start>Run, type in:
                  services.msc
                  Click OK.
                  Services window will open.
                  Find following three services:
                  - Symantec Lic NetConnect service
                  - LiveUpdate Notice Service Ex
                  - LiveUpdate Notice Service

                  In each case, right click on service, click Stop
                  Right click again, click Properties, and set it to Disable.

                  Restart computer. Post new HJT log.

                    Only LiveUpdate Notice Service Ex had the option to be stopped, the other two appeared to be stopped.
                    On the properties, there is a disable option only on the "Log on" tab and I disabled the hardware profiles for all three services, is that right? Here is the new log -
