    I think my pc is loaded with this stuff, I have ran all the programs, read all the info you suggest/recommend/require. Spybot is not finding along with the others what XoftSpy (fee for cleaning) is finding. I can post the log from XoftSpy & Hijackthis if I can.
    Some of the problems I am having is I can not open browsers in new window when right clicking (have to save short cut and open new window)
    When I am trying to uninstall programs, like Kaza, it would not let me from control panel/uninstall programs, however when I went to Kaza program file and uninstalled it worked.
    When I go to adminastrative tools/services I get a script error:Library not registered
    res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\mmcndmgr.dll/views.htm

    I can not open links though oulook express.

    I am hoping someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Splah :rolleyes:

    and you are certain that this is a spyware issue

    but, do you get asked if you want to keep running scripts?
    that can be related to security settings for the Local Machine zone in Internet Explorer
    does your printer work?

    but I am talking out of my butt. . .

    if you think its spyware related go ahead and post a log. . .

    Thanks for your response

    "but, do you get asked if you want to keep running scripts?"
    Yes it askes me a total of 2 times, and then finally will go away.
    I am also getting this error when I try to open tool in IEexploror
    Restrictions
    This operation has been cacelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administator.

    I have read the threads you referred to- I am not sure this is spyware-however I do know something is wrong. I can print, no problem there.
    When I go to open a CD (Microsoft Word, to uninstall my current installation) I get this error http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/3fa91d30_b34e/bc/My+Documents/Windows+installer+error.jpg?bfcC.hBB3dsUSF20
    I cannot open I hyper link in new window and cannot copy short cut to open a new window, for the "manage attachments link", do you have any suggestions on how to upload my log?

    Thanks for your help!

    If you run kazza there will be spy/adware in your pc
    kazza is the devil(remember that)
    how many user profiles are on the PC?
    can you log in as admin?
    you may have better luck with that in the software forum. . . . .

    but still to post a log(as a .txt), when you run HJt make sure everything is closed, all browsers, even this one. and make sure it is in its own folder not on the desktop, or in documents and settings.
    ex: C:\Program Files\HJT\
    if you cant just click the manage attachments button( it should pop up in a new window) either just post it in the thread( only if you have to ) but if you can. .
    put it online as a link( if you have your own webpage )
    but do what you can. . . .

    Thanks for you post.

    I know now that Kaza was a mistake, it's been on my pc for a few years and I recently used it to find a program I was wanting.
    We have 3 user ID's on this pc, I am the Admin, so I don't understand those messages. I still can not open new windows by clicking on links.
    I ran hijack in safe mode, is that okay? I have hijack in it's own folder in my program files.
    If they can change the button to a link I can copy the short cut into a new page I think..I am not sure that will work for it to appy to this post.
    Here is my log from hijack

    Edit by chaslang: Inline log changed to attachment. Please post as text attachments.

    Another error is when I try to go into "user accounts" it gives me this error

    Wrong number of arguements or invlaid property assignment

    do a windows update
    to at least sp1
    sp2 is a good idea

    When all else fails - Generic Solution to HSA (Only the Best) & About:Blank
    hijack:
    http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38772

    close all windows and tray items
    run hjt
    and have hjt fix these
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    jarcher,

    The Generic Solution is not required. There are no signs of the hijacker.
    The about:blanks in this case just require a Reset of Web Settings.

    Also the O6 Restrictions lines are most likely due to Splah using Spybot S&D and/or SpywareBlaster. You would be better off asking in cases like this. Most of the time it is okay to leave them. But in some cases they do interfere with cleanup procedures and must be disabled. However, it is better to use the programs that put the restrictions in place to remove them.

    So are you guys saying that I just need to reset my browser settings? I have no spyware, virus's or hijacking issues? What about the log from XoftSpylog?
    Thanks!

    Another question, why do you think I am getting these messages when I am trying to uninstall things
    " could not be launched, library not registered?"

    How can I get my browser fixed to where I can click on hyper link and open in new windows?

    THANKS AGAIN!

    Ok I got the hyper link problem fixed by doing a search on "my hyper links wont work" and found how you re-register them, that is fixed.

    This is still not fixed when I go to user accounts (Wrong number of arguements or invlaid property assignment) I get this message.


    I still do not know why I have the error when I click on my microsoft word CD

    Please let's work one problem at a time.

    Let's Reset your web settings a make a start page:

    Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

    Now run Windows Explorer and lets look for the files that XoftSpy is naming (and by the way XoftSpy is on a list of rogue/suspect spyware removal tools. See this http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm. I would not use it or trust it.)
    So lets look for the below items. Just tell me if they exist.
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\cd_clint.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\osconfig.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\osrouter.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\VBAR332.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\wt
    C:\WINDOWS\wt\data.wts
    C:\WINDOWS\wt\wt3d.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\wt\wt3d.ini
    C:\WINDOWS\wt\wtvh.dll

    NOTE: SpyKiller is also on that list of rogue/suspect spyware removers.

    Thanks guys for your continued help:

    I looked for the files and all are present if C:\WINDOWS\wt\wt3d.ini is a configuration file, when I search for it I did not see the INI but it came up with I did a search for wtd5.ini
    Web settings/browser/is okay now.
    I will get rid of the XoftSpy, glad I didn't pay for it, I was just about to before I fould this site. whewwwwwww.

    Thanks

    What problems are you having still? If it is not spyware related (i.e., you are having application errors), you should post your question in the software forum.

    I guess they are the result of the virus/spyware issues, I have posted in the software forum, no one responding yet.

    Thanks,

    If you are talking about that single Error in the file you posted, right click on it and select Properties to get more information. In the Description: box you should be able to find out the name of the application that had the error.
