    I started getting wonky error messages in November 2007, thought it was just WinMe quirky behavior. It soon got so bad I couldn't print or get on line.Had to start and stay in safe mode. I reinstalled windows on D drive and have been booting from D: ever since. Now I am getting the same behaviors: seemingly random font changes, incomplete or mixed frames, restore sizing peculiarities, references to programs not in use, and home page hijacks. I went through the procedures: CCleaner, then SpyBot Search and Destroy, Then SuperAntiVirus, Then MGTools.
    I thought my worries were over when SpyBot found and killed Alexa, ThenSAS found and killed or isolated Trojans KLO5, PSA3d, Downloader SUCHOSTX and D And Gen/Numerology. Then I ran Bitdefender and was shocked to find 42 more trojans! My 'puter has more malware on it than software!
    I am including three attachments for analysis, Logs from bitdefender, Mgtools, and SuperantiVirus.
    Thanks to all the wizards at Majorgeeks! I would probably shoot my computer if not for you guys

    Your BitDefender log is not helpful since it really only a log summary rather than a full log which would show exactly what and where problems were found and would report whether they were fixed or not.

    SAS shows no problems. And neither do your other logs.

    I would suggest that you delete the below folder from using Pocket Killbox
    C:\!KillBox\


    Whatever remaining problems you are having do not appear to be due to malware.

    You're welcome. You may wish to writeup something more technical than "wonky error messages" and then post in the Software Forum to get some feedback. Give exact word for word error messages. Do not translate.

    Thx again Chaslang. Error messages were like popups when i made a change on screen, such as closing a window or minimizing a screen. One I remember was "Program cannot paint object", obviusly a reference to macpaint, which was not running. I also thoght I would tell you that i downloaded pocketKillbox and I'm missing .ocx file and won't run.

    You need to get the EXACT messages and also exactly when do they occur and post them in the Software Forum. This is not malware.

    Again incomplete error messages are of now use to us. According to your previous logs, you did run Killbox at some point; however it really does not matter at this time because you don't have any malware that we need to remove and if you did we probably would not use Killbox anyway since it fails to remove most of the current types of malware that exist.
