First of all I'd like to thank you for your time, I really appreciate your help. My responses usually go once a day because of my work schedule, I work every day and don't have time to run scans or check up on this board. I'm at least able to play my games when I get home from work which is enough for me, but my laptop still runs slow and I want to make sure it's virus free before I relax.

I continue to run avast! daily, and it still picks up cookies. I wonder if I should uninstall stumble(even though I hardly use it now), it might be collecting more unwanted files on my computer.

Additionally, there are a few problems I have uninstalling unwanted programs, for example, an old pluggin I used to manage itunes and firefox at once, Foxytunes, won't uninstall from the add/remove programs list, and I don't know how else to remove it since searches come up blank.

Lastly, avast! is continuing to give me a notification of it blocking a file, the one I mentioned earlier, coming from a C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe process. I'm wondering if it's a corrupted file or something. I turned off avast! once and I ended up getting another blue screen, so I'm not sure if it's causing a crash or if it's just a coincidence.

Thanks again for all your time and patience, and I look forward to your next reply.

If you're going on the internet, your bound to pick up cookies unless you set up the browser to not accept them. Not all cookies are bad.

Additionally, there are a few problems I have uninstalling unwanted programs, for example, an old pluggin I used to manage itunes and firefox at once, Foxytunes, won't uninstall from the add/remove programs list, and I don't know how else to remove it since searches come up blank.

It's there in your installed programs but it's probably been uninstalled previously. Let's try this to get rid of it.

Please download: HiJackThis to your Desktop.

• Double Click the HijackThis icon, located on your Desktop.
  
• By Default, it will install to: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
• Accept the license agreement.

•Start HijackThis

•Click on the Open the Misc Tools section

•Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.

•Highlight the entry you want to remove. (Foxytunes)
•Click Delete this entry

I tried calling a friend on skype too and I was unable to use my webcam as well, an error came up saying it was already in use...
Nevermind, just tried it again, it works. This must have fixed something.

How's your computer working now? Any other issues?

[Bubblescoop]

I think we're ok, is the virus clear? I don't want to stop running scans if there's any issues.

Also, are any of the programs you suggested worth keeping around? I want to keep the antivirus software that works best around if I get other symptoms.

[SuperDave]

is the virus clear? I don't want to stop running scans if there's any issues.

I would say that your computer is clean. Let's do some cleanup.

Also, are any of the programs you suggested worth keeping around? I want to keep the antivirus software that works best around if I get other symptoms.

You may keep SAS and MBAM, if you wish. Update them and run them on a regular basis to keep your computer clean. Also there are other suggestions below. As for the best AV. Everyone has their opinion about which AV is best. Avast is as good or better than most.

To uninstall ComboFix

• Click the Start button. Click Run. For Vista: type in Run in the Start search, and click on Run in the results pane.
  
• In the field, type in ComboFix /uninstall
  

(Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)

• Then, press Enter, or click OK.
  
• This will uninstall ComboFix, delete its folders and files, hides System files and folders, and resets System Restore.
  

********************************************************
To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created do the following:
Double click OTL.exe.

• Click the CleanUp button.
  
• Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Note: If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.
********************************************************
Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

* Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
* Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
* Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.
********************************************************
Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
2) Online Armor
3) Agnitum Outpost
4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.
***************************************************************

Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

----------

I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

Ok, I attempted to install the first two firewalls, but they don't seem to work, I think it's the 64-bit OS again. In the comments for the other two I saw the same problems, so I skipped that. I'm not sure if they're really worth the trouble if I'm keeping MBAM, avast!, and SAS.

I'm updating windows, and I downloaded TFC and WoT. I was planning a disk defrag soon, since I haven't done one since I downloaded WoW for the first time on this computer, so after windows finishes updating, I'll do just that.

Thank you again, Dave. I truly appreciate your help.

[SuperDave]

but they don't seem to work, I think it's the 64-bit OS again

Yes, you need to pick one that works with 64 bit machines.

Thank you again, Dave. I truly appreciate your help.

You're welcome. I will lock this thread. If you need it re-opened, please send me a pm.
