Download Security Check by screen317 from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.

Link 1
Link 2

* Unzip SecurityCheck.zip and a folder named Security Check should appear.
* Open the Security Check folder and double-click Security Check.bat
* Follow the on-screen instructions inside of the black box.
* A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt
* Post the contents of that document in your next reply.

Note: If a security program requests permission from dig.exe to access the Internet, allow it to do so.

    The ComboFix log shows that you have MicroSoft Security Essentials installed. Did you re-enable it after you ran ComboFix?

      Did you get an error when you tried to install it again? Can you see MSE in your Add/Remove programs? If you can, uninstall it and download another version from here and tell me if you are able to install it.

          Only if you're using it to write code.

          Download and install one of these until we can get the problem with MSE sorted out.


          Remember to only install one antivirus!
           
          1) Avast! Home Edition
          2) AVG Free Edition
          3) Avira AntiVir Personal
          4) Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows Vista\Windows 7 - 64 bit Download
          4-a) Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows XP
          5) Comodo Antivirus (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
          6) PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition

          It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.

              Just one more item to fix with HJT.

              Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

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

              O2 - BHO: WormRadar.com IESiteBlocker.NavFilter - {3CA2F312-6F6E-4B53-A66E-4E65E497C8C0} - C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG9\avgssie.dll (file missing)


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

              Once completed, exit HijackThis.

              If there are no other issues, it's time for some clean-up. You can try downloading MicroSoft Security Essentials later if you still want it. You had it once and should be able to get it again. I've attached a link to run a Windows Installer Cleanup Utility below to completely uninstall your MSE. Perhaps, that's why you can't install a new one. If you still have no success, you can get more information on the MSE website concerning your particular problem. I cannot see any reason why you're getting an error. If the error has a number, you could try googling it. You can uninstall HJT but you can keep SAS and MBAM. Update them and run them about once a week.If you do manage to install MSE don't forget to uninstall Avira.

              If necessary for any antivirus or other program try the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility - Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.

              * Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys for the Run box.
              * Now type Combofix /uninstall in the runbox
              * Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /Uninstall
              * Then hit Enter

              * The above procedure will:
              * Delete the following:
              * ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
              * Reset the clock settings.
              * Hide file extensions, if required.
              * Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
              * Set a new, clean Restore Point.

              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.

              Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

                I'm sorry if I was misunderstood. The Cleanup Utility was to remove any traces of MSE which may be left on your computer thereby preventing the new installation of MSE
