    Hi all,

    That's sad, but my WinXP is sick. Malware? Spyware? Who makes this stuff... :mad:

    Typical behaviour, but hard to kill:
    - running programs at sturtup: if i found one and delete it, it is replaced with new one, but it has another name and is again put into HKLM/.../Run (found examples: c:\windows\system32\netyw.exe, C:\Windows\ntlt32.exe, C:\Windows\System32\sdkki32.exe, c:\winstal.exe, )
    - another IE search assistant,
    - another IE start page,
    - suspicious running processes,
    - unexpected popups in IE, while browsing,
    - underlined and linked words "free" on WWW pages - linked as "goto:free",
    - I've found one strange system service ("C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntpo32.exe /s"), but i'm not sure is it only one or more.

    I've fight some programs (found and deleted). I've pass thru http://forum.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38752 - this helps, but not at all. It helps with:
    - remove strange programs from "Add/Remove programs": Search Extender, Shopping Wizard, Home Search Assistent
    - uninstall SpySheriff.

    Still can't uninstall system service, replace start page and search assistant with default, and protect system from running programs at sturtup.

    My actual HijackThis! log:

    ====================================================
    • Edit by bjgarrick: Unrequested, Inline HJT log removed!
    ====================================================

    Thanks for help.

    If you had followed the READ ME completely you would know why I cut it out. All logs are supposed to be attach to your post.

    If you have completed the READ ME, you would have attached the 2 logs from the online scans listed in the READ ME and a HJT log.
