    ya i have been on the Tribes server many times over the years. Now i am on the support side of majorgeeks. Thats too bad, because my malware is making me look like a n00b. I ask that one of the forum support admins please teach me the art of l33t I.T. skillz.

    please note that i have only read the stickies, and prepared by getting tools and checking add/remove progs.

    truthfully i am a little confused about when exactly to turn off/on the 'system restore'. And i am so afraid to make a mistake that may render my system inoperable.

    I can/will answer any system questions once my situation is addressed. It is obvious that this is a "help" forum.

    one who demands somone's 'help' = a smacktard.

    thanks

    Welcome to MGs!

    You do not disable system restore until your PC has been declared free of malware. It is just show in step 1 to let you know ahead of time. If it was at the end, you may never read it.

    If you have any malware problems, complete all steps and attach the requested logs. It would also be good if you indicated exactly what your problems are.

    well thanks for the speedy response.. I ran the tools in safe mode. But half way thru the first online scan, IE ill opp'd and my computer was not able to see the internet. Is that a problem?? or do i try again?

    Just continue all the way thru all steps and note problems when you come back. So if Bitdefender crashed, just continue on to Panda and so on.

    Man i feel like i have let you down. I tried both online scans. The Bit scan listed multipul java.exploit.bytver.C detections. Then some how my internet was dissrupted. The Panda Scans listed only 5 pieces of spyware. But it too lost its connection once it was finished. Preventing me from getting a log or deleting them. So all i have now is a HJT log. it is attached to this post. q=(

    Panda may have saved the log anyway. Search your disk for activescan and see if you find a match that would be the text file log.

    The only thing I see in your HijackThis log is you need to update to the new version of Sun Java.

    Are you having malware problems?

    the only activescan results was one txt file.

    it read..

    and there were a few folders and a .sig file.




    as for malware issues. I think that my computer is infested with junk. It loads up with 36 tasks running. The taskmanger is filled with scvhost and other suspicious processes. My windows folder is petitioning for its own zipcode. I built it 3 months ago and i didnt hold back. I loaded a slipstreamed xp in less than 16min. q=)

    Now i actually watch the windows status bar. Something i thought was gone from my gaming life for good.

    Nothing unusal in that number of processes nor in svchost.exe running multiple times. Notice in your HJT log that 3 of them were running. This is normal. In fact on my PC right now, I have 5 running.

    sorry...I didnt bail on the post. First of the month is nothing but inventory and chaos. Food service industry is very demanding.

    I read the steps to remove my old Java so i can replace it with Sun's version. Should i try it manually, or use the program that is suggested?

    Also, as i mentioned before. The Bitwhatever virus can kept failing, but it was detecting a Java virus on my machine. I have AVG, but it is only good for the virus detection alert. Any suggestions on another antivirus. (the free kind) I really think there is something on my computer.


    And i have noticed some strange activity..

    When windows loads up:

    1. AVG Email scanner will not work correctly each time.


    2. Zonealarm loads up with the 'stop all internet activity' option selected... everytime.


    3. WebColt.exe keeps loading during browsing.

    You already have Sun Java. You just need to update to the latest version and then uninstall the old version.

    I'm not sure what you are talking about. AVG works just fine at removing viruses. But like every tool there are things they cannot fix, especially if not run in safe mode.

    Not sure why your having problems with AVG Email and Zonealarm right now. Try uninstalling ZoneAlarm and getting the new one just release on MGs main page. After uninstall, reboot before installing the new version.

    What is WebColt.exe?

    Please run the two below scanning tools and post the requested logs:
