    Just joined MajorGeeks. Have used your advice in the past, so thank you. I now suspect I have a bunch of malware so have been following the XP cleaning process. Logs from ComboFix and MGtools are attached. Advice on what I should do next would be most appreciated!

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You need to put your system into Normal Startup mode with MSconfig as requested in step 1 of the READ ME.

    Then you need to run SUPERAntispyware as requested in the READ ME and attach a log from it.

    Did you knowingly install ALOT eMusic Toolbar. See this: http://www.castlecops.com/tk36882-alot_dll.html We do recommend uninstall it in step 1 of the READ ME. You should uninstall this.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.

    Then attach the below log
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Also explain what malware problems you are having, if any!

    Thanks chaslang... i'll go back over the Read Me and reattach logs. I had not intended to install the eMusic tool bar... so i will delete it (hopefully!)... not sure about any specific malware issues, other than a slow running system. also, panda's activescan showed lots of spyware and hacking tools installed on my machine (currently running).

    Hopefully you meant to say uninstall it. Deleting is not the same thing.

    Attach a log. Many time these things are not issues and are just legit tools that could be used for other purposes.
