    Hi

    my computer is suffering. First I couldn't connect to the net - couldn't obtain IP wired or wireless and I tried a number of ipconfig tricks and the winsock dos thing. Nothing worked. Then I started getting BSOD's and in an attempt to thoroughly root out the malware I tried to get into safemode which proved impossible. Luckily I still have access to Windows but not being able to get on the net is making the cleanup task frustrating.

    Based on some materials I gathered about what you require here's my logs and computer info:

    Acer Travelmate laptop 8200, 2 gig ram, Centrino Duo
    Windows XP SP3
    a 120 gig hd partitioned in two

    I had alot of trouble with the cleanup steps,

    Neither superantispyware nor malwarebytes found anything.
    MGTools did not produce the zip file. The UAC diable command didn't work properlyu so I couldn't "Run as Admin"
    The combofix thing also failed...

    You are not running Vista and should not be following the instructions for Vista. Please follow the proper instructions for your Windows XP system and attacht the log from MGtools. Shutdown your antivirus 1st to make sure it does not get in the way.

    Did you shut down all of your protection software first.

    There is a strong possibility that your problems are not due to malware.
