    See if you can log on in Safe Mode and do a System Restore.

    Do you have your XP CD?

          It's installing now but i do have a error that has popped up while it's still running. 

          \CF14293.exe 

          "Windows cannot find "\CF14293.exe'.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

          Should i hit ok on this?

          I'm pretty sure that is the ComboFix log that was supposed to come up after the restart. No need searching for it.

          I will be away for a few hours. When you get finished go to C:\combofix.txt and see if the log is there and post it please.

          Also post a new HijackThis log.

          Be back later.

              Yes you should turn on the firewall, also we need to get some antivirus installed now.

              Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

              Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

              O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [combofix] \CF14293.exe /c C:\ComboFix\Combobatch.bat

              Important: Close all windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

              Exit HijackThis.

              ----------

              Now download The Avenger by Swandog46 and save it to your Desktop.
              • Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your Desktop
              • Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
              • Do not change any check box options!!
              • Copy everything in the Code box below, and paste it into the Input script here window:
              Code: [Select]
              Comment:

              Files to delete:
              C:\ComboFix\Combobatch.bat

              Folders to delete:
              C:\ComboFix


              Note: the above instructions were created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, DO NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system


              • Now click the Execute button.
              • Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
              • Click Yes to the "Reboot now?" question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
              • Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
              • A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will pop-up for you to view when you login after reboot.
              • Add the Avenger log in your next post.
              ----------

              Run the Kaspersky Online Scanner

              In Microsoft Windows Vista, you must open the Web browser using the Run as Administrator command. From the Desktop right click the icon and choose Run as Administrator.

              • Click on SCAN NOW
              • Click Accept.
              • The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
              • Once the files have been downloaded locate the Scan Settings and have it scan My Computer.
              • The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it finish.
              When the scan is done, in the Scan is complete window, any infection is displayed.
              There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

              To obtain the report:
              Click on: Save Report As
              • Next, in the Save as prompt, Save in area, select: Desktop.
              • In the File name area use KScan, or something similar.
              • In Save as type: click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
              • Then, click: Save


              Copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next reply.

                Ok, my new problem is my internet explorer isn't working.  I can get to my home page but unable to get to the forum to download the link.  I also can't get to any other site besides what's in my home page.  When i click to go to another site, another browser just opens and blinks.

                Do you have a flash drive to transfer over a program or two? Might need to reset your Hosts file.

                Go to download the program HostsXpert
                • Unzip HostXpert to your desktop
                • Open up the HostXpert program.
                • Make sure that the "Make Hosts Writable?" button in the upper right corner is enabled. 
                • Click Create Back Up
                • Then click on Restore Microsoft's Host Files
                • Close the HostXpert program
                Note: if you use SpywareBlaster, Spybot and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and select Enable all protection. For Spybot run the program and select Immunize. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.

                  I installed spybot and immunized the system.  However, i still can't manuever on the net.  Not to mention, i don't even have the IE icon, it looks like a raw program without a picture.

                  Download Dial-a-Fix by djlizard, save it to the desktop then extract it to it's own folder.

                  Open Dial-a-fix and click the hammer icon. Select Flush DNS and click Go
                  When complete, select Repair Permissions and click Go
                  When complete, select Repair/reinstall IE and click Go

                  If at any time you are prompted for the XP CD, insert it
                  Make note of any error messages and post them here
                  Reboot when complete and let me know if there's any change.

                  Extra steps. <- Might as well run these, it's a quick process and can't hurt anything.

                  • Open the folder and run Dial-a-fix.exe
                  • 2 windows will open. Close the one in the background labeled Restrictive Policies
                  • On the main window, check the box in section 4, labeled SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography. The 4 boxes under it should be pre-checked
                  • Check all boxes in Section 5, labeled Registration Center.
                  • Click Go
                  • Restart the computer when done
                  .
                  Let me know if IE behaves properly.

                    I don't see a hammer but i do have a little round mechanism.  The only thing that says flush is "Flush SoftwareDistribution", is that what i want?
