    SuperSpyware and Malwarebytes removes about 300 programs but things
    are still not right. Here is the Hijackthis log. It is a kids' computer and not
    taken care of properly...

    Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
    Scan saved at 2:48:45 PM, on 1/1/2009
    Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)
    Boot mode: Normal
    Edit by chaslang: Inline HJT log removed. READ & RUN ME sticky not followed.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    Helpful Notes:


    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. To avoid addtional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advise that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!. Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    I don't know how this even got posted. When it popped up and said to
    not post a log until requested to do so, I didn't post it. I ended up formatting
    the drive and reinstalling everything. I had no access to the CD drives and
    had to use a USB floppy to get anything on the pc.

    It does not say that anywhere in the READ & RUN ME. It tells you to run the steps and attach the logs. The only thing the READ & RUN ME states in not to post a HijackThis log because we don't need them, but you posted one anyway inline in your first message.

    Since you formatted, you should work thru the below:
