Finally got through the read me!thank god!

this all started when my Mcafee antivirus which i was subscribed too started saying all updates were up to date..this happened suspiciously way to often..then the red Mcfee icon wouldnt go red any more(it would on occasion after a reboot but not any more)I was finally able to log in and it said my last update was back in June but my service expired Sept 17/06...then I started getting the blue screen of death..then I got often this message(EM_exec has caused an error K32.dll. Kernal32.dll EM_exec will now close)sooooooo my brother turned me on to you guys a couple weeks ago raving about the results you achieve..so here i am..I've ran through what I could of the read me and do first.....I'll post the logs in succession due to the limit per post
P.S I tried numerous time to run pandascan but got errors in d/l messages ranging from not allowing ActiveX Control to download to problem with internet? to lack of harddisc space,priveliges..etc?

 

here is the shownew..

 

they are now posted..thx for answering

 

Please attach a current HJT log from normal mode. Be sure you have Hijack This running from C:\Program Files\HJT.

• 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 do I rename it..I had already d/l it some time ago..here is the log from just now

 

I need you to run CounterSpy once more, get any updates before scanning, once the scan is complete have the program delete all found infections. Once you complete this scan, reboot and attach the log from the scan along with a fresh HJT log.

 

okay I got the counterspy updates and ran it in safe mode...It said i didnt have enough memory to save it iin notepad but i was able to save it in a text form in Wordpad?..didnt know what else to do..sorry..

 

In your CounterSpy log, it's showing "Ignored", are you ignoring these items? I need you to remove these items, quarantine or delete them if possible.

 

ok sorry..I had removed about 18 threats that ranged from extreme to medium risk...the ones that said low had said in the info log that they would not harm anything so I disregarded those?..I'll run again and remove everything this time as you recommended

 

ok I've run the Counterspy removeing everything as you ask..I got this error while rebooting into normal mode and continually got it whenever I tried to run(analyse.exe) the renamed hijackthis.exe.

this is what the warning kept saying {IDS_COMPANY_NAME}{IDS_VIRUS_SCAN}
{IDS_COMPANY_NAME}{IDS_VIRUS_SCAN} has found a suspect file on your computer{IDS_COMPANY_NAME}strongly recommends that you scan your computer now. then click Ok.

any idea what triggers that and why the hijack log wont run?

My new Counterspy log is attached below

 

I have to ask, why do you have all the P2P programs? They are most likely the cause of your malware problems, P2P apps such as Kazaa, Imesh, Limewiere contain thousands of infections and running these apps open your computer up.

Personally, I would uninstall them all because with all the ones showing on your computer, your lucky your not more infected than you are.

Please attach a fresh HJT log.

 

Actually the the files shares were for music years ago...and havent been used..was always afraid to fully uninstall with fear of screwing something else up..I only d/l Limewire this summer after we got highspeed again to create some music cds..I thought that as long as I had an up to date virus scan program I'd be fine using limewire? I'll try uninstalling and posting a fresh log..hopefully the hijack this works this time? thanks

 

going from bad to worse..tried finding an uninstall for imesh and all the IMESH folders are empty and nothing in the add/remove programs either...morpheus I was able to uninstall..I tried using hijackthis again and it wont run..I keep getting that message in brackets above..so I d/l to newest version form the read me link here on the website and when I click the hijackthis .exe in the zip I get that same warning/message again {IDS_COMPANY_NAME}{IDS_VIRUS_SCAN} etc etc... so now what?..thanks

 

Run another CounterSpy scan, remove all found entries and attach the log.

 

here is another log..I updated but it was already to date..I removed everything it could find and it said it did it successfully

 

The log looks good, everything appears to be deleted. The last thing I would like for you to do is flush the system restore points.

Please follow the instructions in the below:

• Disable and Re-enable System Restore
  
  
• Turn OFF System Restore to flush any bad Restore Points.
  
  
• Then, follow the instructions at the bottom of the linked page to Re-enable the Restore Utility which will create a fresh restore point.

After you complete the above reboot once more and then scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.

Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.
