    Thank you in advance.

    ZoneAlarm Security Suite 8's On-Access scanner caught three files while I was browsing.
    (All were in C:\Documents and Settings\CarpElgin\Local Settings\Temp\)

    • Trojan.Win32.Agent.bcbh - in prun.tmp (Repair Failed/ Quarentine OK)
    • Trojan.Win32.Monderb.aceg - rasesnet.tmp (Repair Failed/ Quarentine OK)
    • Trojan.Win32.Patched.dw - seneka96f.tmp (Repair & Quarentine Failed - When asked... I chose delete.)

    About the same time, a pop-up appeared 3 or 4 times (I forgot to write down exactly what it was -- either an "update your definitions for a program you don't have" or "install our fake virus scan.") I dismissed with the close window X in the corner. I also noticed the Java icon in my notification tray.

    I couldn't access the ZoneAlarm links for more info on the viruses, I couldn't access the site (using ie7 firefox or safari). I couldn't really visit any security sites. Laptop started to shutting down ("DCOM Server Process launcher terminated.... etc.") which I couldn't stop via the task manager.

    (Later... I learned entering "shutdown -a" from the command prompt stopped it after having to restart several scans.)

    SO...

    1. Downloaded updates for Spybot (from a mac), Immunized, and Scanned, which found AntiSpywareMaster entries & Windows Security Center Disabled (probably because of ZoneAlarm.)
    2. Installed HijackThis to see if I could see anything easy to fix. I located the files I could tell were involved, but just wrote them down.
    3. Read & Run Me First & XP Cleanup, downloading the programs (and updates) on another computer. Pretty much OK, I froze up ComboFix and needed to restart, but the second time it ran fine.
    4. The first time I ran MGTools, I got an error message from HijackThis. (JPG)
      Code:
      Please help us improve HijackThis by reporting this error
      
      Click 'Yes' to submit
      
      Error Details:
      An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: 
      modRegistry_IniGetString(sFile=system.ini, sSection=boot, sValue=Shell)
      Error #5 – Invalid procedure call or argument
      
      Windows version: Windows NT 5.0.1.2600
      MSIE version: 7.0.5730.11
      HijackThis version: 2.0.2
    5. Restarted PC & ran MGTools.exe again. This time I got errors (I can't seem to find any other mention of them.) I ran it once or twice more, I still get the same results.
      • Code:
        Error: Key: SOFTWARE\swearware does not exist!
      • Error Message Window "ProcessDll.exe – Common Language Runtime Debugging Services" (JPG):
        Code:
        Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
        
        Process id=0x4ec(1260),Thread id=0x47c(1148) 
        Followed by this in the command prompt window (JPG – Full Contents of Window)
        Code:
        Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: 
        Process performance counter is disabled, so the requested operation cannot be performed.
        …

    I couldn't find anything in the forums on these errors (is it because I have .NET Framework 1.1 & 2.0 installed?) I'm not sure everything is fixed... although the obvious problems are gone (no shutting down, can get to majorgeeks.com and download updates.)

    Then, ZoneAlarm stopped and quarantined:
    • Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.adhp from C:\WINDOWS\system32\k9261108.exe.

    So I guess I really do need help. Do I need to re-run anything or get new logs?

    Is ZoneAlarm a full suite including anti-virus protection?

    Use windows explorer and see it this still exists:
    c:\windows\system32\k9261108.exe

    If not then your logs are clean. Are you still having problems?

    Yes, it's the full suite. And no more problems.

    Thank you. That'll teach me not to run as an administrator!
