Does my malware cause screen corruption?

    In normal boot mode my screen is corrupted. This includes the Windows start-up screen (lots of fuzzy blue squares on the black background), the desktop icons (fuzzy with small vertical lines) and the cursor (enveloped by small vertical lines). Games are unplayable.

    I have been through the malware removal guide and attach the various logs to this post and a second post:

    This post: hijackthis.log, CounterSpy.txt, bdscan.txt
    Next post: Activescan.txt, runkeys.txt, newfiles.txt

    I have two questions:

    Is there any malware left to remove and how do I remove it?

    Is the malware responsible for the screen graphics corruption or is this a graphics card / driver issue? My graphics card is Radeon 9800.

    Many thanks.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    I'm not sure where or when you downloaded the GetRunKey.zip and ShowNew.zip files but you are way out of date which means you did not just get them from here.

    However either way, your problems did not sound like malware and based on your logs there is no malware to be concerned with other than deleting the below folder:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Totem Shared

    You may want to try posting in the Hardware Forum. It could be that you need to reinstall the drivers for your graphics card.

    You should uninstall CounterSpy now since we are finished with it. Also you should uninstall the old Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 version you still have installed since you appear to have the new 1.5 version installed.
