    Hi,

    I am at my wits end and before I throw my whole system out the window, I thought I'd try and seek some sage advice.

    I have run everything in the "sticky" read and do this thread. I have run Spybot, Ad-aware, Spy Sweeper, Trend Micro. You name it, AND THEY JUST KEEP COMING RIGHT BACK!!!

    This all started from a search on the "Project1" that was running in my task manager. I have tried everything I can, to the point of dumping Microsoft .NET Framework (oops, who knew my CAD program needed it) and now can't reload Autodesk - that's a whole 'nother issue.

    Needless to say, MAJOR headache if I need to save all my files and do a reformat. I'm posting two HJT files, the first before reconnecting to the network and the second after.

    Any help is MUCH appreciated!

    thanks.

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    You need to follow the below steps exactly and completely. You did not install & rename HijackThis as required and you must run all steps and attach ALL requested logs.

    >>> Why are you running without an antivirus program and without a firewall? <<<

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.



    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:

      • [*]runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
        [*]newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

    chaslang,

    Thank you - I dumped Norton 2001, because I thought it might be a culprit. I will buy 2006 tonight.

    The main culprits being found are forethought, surfsidekick, and a couple others - I'll update when I repost those other logs...

    The runkey file came up empty? I am trying to run the bitdefender, but right now (and for last 10 mins) it's "stuck" on file 1093 of 33321.

    I did run the Panda log, but since I couldn't run bitdefender first as the tutorial said, I figured it was irrelevant.

    I will rename the HJT executable and rerun - forgot that step.

    Thanks!!

    Ok, sensei, I think I have followed directions more better this time.

    I still cannot get bitdefender to run, and my IE is now totally hosed.
