    First off, I followed the READ ME FIRST procedures located at http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407.

    Background--> My McAfee kept alerting me that I was infected with the "Fake Alert-D" Trojan. Everytime I closed the alert, a new one would pop up and IE would open and direct me to some web page to buy spyware removal software. So I ran a number of scans (Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S&D, SPycatcher and a McAfee Virusscan). A number of items were found and I thought that solved the problem so I shut down for the night. Next morning when I restarted, same thing started happening. When I tried to run McAfee Security Center, I got a message that said some components had failed to initialize or download properly. Then it started to download automatically but froze up when it began installation. So I attempted to download from McAfee.com manually. Same thing happened. It downloads but will not install (gets stuck). So now it has removed all McAfee Virus Scan and Firewall from the system). But Windows Security Center says that both are running fine and are updated and protecting my PC but they are no where to be found.

    I was able to download McAfee briefly last night but then my PC was running super sluggish and I got an error message a number of times like "DCOM Service Process Launcher" failed to initialize and NT Authority/System was shutting down. I heard this might be "Blaster" worm so I attempted to find it with no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    When you booted into safe mode as per the instructions did you run CCleaner ? You have infected files in your recycle bin and temporary internet files.

    Please boot into safe mode and run CCleaner as per the instructions then post a FRESH logs.
