    It all started when AT&T sent me a bad security update......
    « on: January 11, 2008, 05:43:17 PM »
    Okay AT&T sent an update to the sbc online protection. It was corrupt I called them and we took off the online protection and the yahoo browser. Well the tier 2 support person told me if they sent me more updates do not install,ha wth. So every since then I cannot play yahoo games it gives a cannot find server or theres a stale cache page or your internet connect is messed up. I try poker stars it says internet connectivity problem. When I try to acces my e-mail I get in for a second sometimes or just not at all and I get this page, http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh159/dasuperbitch/computerhope.jpg 
    I get this page on a fwe other pages as well e-bay is one,but it mostly connected to yahoo or my yahoo or when I try to go to the sbc healp page.

    When I am in safe mode I can acces poker stars and the e-mail and I can't remember if I tried the games or e-bay. So I have ran Ad-aware Housecalls AVG windows defender none of them seem to find nothing more than a few cookies. I have used my windows maintence I have done the internet options thing clearing cookies and such.   I also cleared the SSL slate and removed certificates just in case I let something in I didn't mean too. I am at a loss here please help.

    System info:microsoft xp sp2
    emachines T3418
    AMD Semptron(tm)Processor
    3400+
    2.01 GHz. 384MB of Ram


    P.S I knew I was forgetting something,I am using IE and when I click diagnose problem it says windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP HTTPS ofr FTP this is probaly caused by the firewall setings on this computer   check settingd HTTP port 80 ,443 and 21.....But  my firewall is off ??? ??? ???

          Thank you for responding so quickly. I have a question,do you think having firefox over IE would resolve connectivity issues? and sorry for 3 posts in a row but it would only  allow so much text.

          It's OK.

          The reason, I'd like you to try Firefox is, that I want to know, if it's connectivity problem, or IE problem.

          I'll check your HJT log, now.

          You need to clarify couple of things for me...

          Quote
          I called them and we took off the online protection
          What exactly that "online protection" is?

          I can see some antivirus from McAfee:
          O23 - Service: McAfee Real-time Scanner (McShield) - McAfee, Inc. - C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcshield.exe
          but also Norton antivirus:
          O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ccApp] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccApp.exe"
          O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [osCheck] "C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\osCheck.exe"

          I can't see any firewall running, unless you have Windows firewall up?

          Your HJT log is clean of malwares, though.

            I do not have the windows firewall on. The Norton doesn't work and the norten tool did not take it off due to a freind sent me that trying to help any suggestions trying to take it off? Also when I try to use McAfee  from programs it does nothing but yet it is running because site advisor didn't let firefox dowload properly or something Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.siteadvisor.com  so I closed out and tried again and got this Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start2.mozilla.com.


            the online protection I was reffering to is comes with the att&t software,if I could figure out how to download the software w\o getting kicked I could show you how the option to dowload the at&t virus and spyware protection is down until Jan 15th. I am really annoyed here! I usually can solve issues myself but this is beyond my realm of general computer maintence. Thanks

            We need to clarify further...

            The Norton doesn't work and the norten tool did not take it off
            Did you use Norton Removal Tool: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039 ?

            Also when I try to use McAfee  from programs it does nothing but yet it is running because site advisor didn't let firefox dowload properly
            There are two different things, here.
            - McAffe antivrus, which I can see running on your computer
            - McAfee Site Advisor is simply browser plug-in, rating web sites security, has nothing to do with antivirus, and we're not interested in it now.

            the online protection I was reffering to is comes with the att&t software
            I realize that. I'd like to know what tools it uses (antivirus? firewall?)

              Is it this: http://promo.yahoo.com/att/yop_learnmore.html

              That is the one doesn't work,that is the one is they sent out weeks ago but it isn't ready til the 15th at midnight. But that is what I had without all the Norten added.

              i got the Norten you see from a peer sharing place from a freind the tool hasn't worked yet.He uploaded it last night ran it on his computer and it worked but of course it didn't work for me.


              I know I have McAfee but i haven't been able to access it properly thats why I ran House calls to check for viruses instead.

              I wouldn't  like to have Norton on my computer, so you may stop worrying about it, but...

              That was really bad idea!

              Now, my picture is much more clear, and we can try to clean up all that mess.
              To start with...
              I'd like you to go to Add\Remove, and uninstall anything what has McAfee, Norton, or Symantec name in it.
              Let me know what was there, and what youe were able to uninstall.

                    firefox won't run I uninstalled and rebotted and tried again and i still get this Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start2.mozilla.com.
                    it seems to me there is something not letting me connect to certain sites. I was wondering by looking at these logs can you tell if I have a virus,that my scan didn't detect?

                    Your HJT log is clean.

                    Download, and install AVG free: http://free.grisoft.com/
                    Download, and install Comodo free: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

                    BEFORE, you start Comodo installation, make sure, your Windows firewall is OFF:
                    1.   Click Start, click Run, type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
                    2.   On the General tab, make sure it says OFF

                    When you're done, download, and run WinSock XP Fix: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html

                        Okay i ran AVG no threats detected. But before I go on I just wanna let you know I have turned that stupid windows firewall many many times and everytime I go back to check it it is always back on,so i was wondering is there a setting that turns it on automatically at maybe start up or what?

                        Do you have UAC (User Account Control) on?
                        If so, turn it off: http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm
                        Most likely UAC is turning firewall on.
                        You must restart your computer for changes to take effect.

                                    Restart.

                                        Let it self extract to C:\Windows\system32 folder

                                        If your operating system is Windows XP Home click on this link:
                                        http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spencer.greys...XPHomeFiles.exe

                                        If your unsure if your running Home or Pro
                                        Go to start>>run>>type in winver

                                            Then, restart, and try cmd

                                              When you doubleclick on XPHomeFiles.exe, it should open unzip window like below:

                                                Then click Unzip, and you're done. Make sure "Overwrite files without prompting" is checked.
                                                Restart, and try cmd again.

                                                    I am sure I do somewhere. So I need to re-install windows? If so How can save my music files I have tons and if I lose those people in my house will go nuts. I have done a sytem restore a long time ago,so it seems like everything is on here twice my regular files and c:mybackup files. I don't know how all that works but I don't wanna end up with 3 sets of files it already takes 3 hours for a virus scan due to the fact it runs through the back ups,the regular and the music (there is a lot of music on media player!)

                                                    When you insert Windows CD, it'll give you "Repair" option. That will keep your data in tact.

                                                      Yes. Reinstall over the top would be the next step.

                                                        I got that cmd window to stay open long enough to see it said   successful  I can't remember what else it said but it said successful. And I can't find my windows disk right now because I hide stuff an don't remember where I put it. :P

                                                        It said successful after you executed some command?

                                                          I guess, you'll have to find that Windows CD
