    Hi.

    I must be distracted by all these popups and such Because I thought I posted an original topic, but I stupidly posted my original request in a thread for some other poster. I apologize to that person and I hope a moderator moves or clears out my errouneous posts.

    Anyway, I'm having some trouble with popups, occurring even outside IE without a browser open.

    I'm also getting weird hacks to my Outlook Express. Something has filled out a new email with a sender and message body, ready for me to click "send" as a solicitation for some virus software.

    Also, every time I right click something on my desktop (my documents, let's say) my computer starts installing software. The installer says it's "configuring Symantec Antivirus" or something, but I can't imagine a legitimate piece of software acting this way.

    I have followed all the "read first" instructions to a "T" except for Counterspy. For some reason, I was unable to quarantine anything in Safe Mode, so I ran Counterspy in "Normal" startup.

    I'll post my files without further adieu. I can recognize a lot of the bad stuff in the logs, like the BHO's and files tapped into Winlogon, but I don't know the best way to delete them or if they're the root problem in the first place.

    Hmm. Since I already uploaded the report files in the wrong thread, it won't let me repost them. I renamed them and tried it again, to no avail. Is it cool if I link to that other thread? I hope so. If not, I'd be happy to change them to allow reposting if someone gave me direction on how.

    Everything is here;

    I have answered your other thread which was mistakenly combined with another users thread. You did not do that. We did it by mistake due to similar user names being seen.

    Please post in the other thread which is now accessible here: Infected Computer, requesting assistance please.
