Please Help, Potential Malware

Other than what was already removed, your logs are clean. It does not sound like your problems are related to malware. I will have you run another scan just to did a little deeper but I don't expect it to find anything that would be related to your problems.


Download TDSSKiller from Kaspersky to your directly onto your Desktop

• Now double click the TDSSkiller.exe file to run it ( if using Vista or Windows 7 do not double click on it but rather, right click and select Run As Administrartor. )
• If TDSSKiller does not run, try renaming it. To do this, right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. 123tdk.com).
  • If you do not see the file extension, please refer to: How to view hidden, system files & folders!
• Allow the application to run if prompted by Windows or any security programs you have installed
• It will start the scan and run rather quickly and will notify you of whether anything is found or not.
• Follow the instructions to delete/quarantine if asks you what to do when if finds something.
• Whether an infection is found or not, a log file should be created on your C: drive ( or whatever drive you boot from) in the root folder named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

 

Not really. But you are not having malware problems. HAL = Hardware Abstraction Layer which is a necessary part of your Windows system software. Bacially it is the interface between the hardware and software ( for more detail, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer )

Sounds like you have some hardware issues or driver issues which you will have to work on in the Hardware Forum or Driver Forum.
