    I have a computer that started with a disabled keyboard and mouse. It was giving me a code 39 error from the device manager. I got the keyboard fixed but the mouse still won't work. I ran Malwarebytes and it told me that I have hijack.taskmanger. I tried to delete it through Malwarebytes and it won't go away. I have run Super AntiSpyware, ComboFix, Defogger and rrootlog. Files are attached. What do I do now?

    FYI to thisisu:

    DeepFreeze is installed and running and will more than like cause problems with cleanup. Possibly why Malwarebytes is already failing to remove what it finds.

    Deep Freeze is installed but currently, the computer is thawed.

    http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4930/combofix.gif Fixing items using ComboFix
    Make sure that ComboFix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your desktop -- but do not run it.
    If it is not on your desktop, the below will not work.
    Shut down your protection software now (antivirus, antispyware...etc) to avoid possible conflicts.
    Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into Notepad:
    Code:
    [COLOR="DarkRed"]KillAll::[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="DarkRed"]ClearJavaCache::[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="DarkRed"]FileLook::[/COLOR]

    AV: AVG Anti-Virus Network Edition *Enabled/Updated* {17DDD097-36FF-435F-9E1B-52D74245D6BF}
    
    Save this file as CFScript.txt to your desktop. So now you should have both CFScript.txt and ComboFix.txt on your desktop.
    Now use your mouse to drag CFScript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe and then release.
    http://softvisia.com/users/Night_Raven/Security/cfsdnd2.gif
    This will launch ComboFix.
    Note: Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
    Allow ComboFix to update itself if prompted.
    When ComboFix finishes, a log will be produced at C:\ComboFix.txt
    Attach this log to your next message. (How to attach)

    http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/945/baticonxp.gif Now run the attached .bat file (info.bat) and attach the log it creates on your desktop (info.txt). (How to attach)

    http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/945/baticonxp.gif Now run C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat by double-clicking it.
    This updates all of the logs inside MGlogs.zip.
    When it is finished, attach C:\MGlogs.zip to your next message. (How to attach)

    I have run most of the programs. Combo Fix with the script locked up the computer and never gave me a log. All other logs are posted. Thanks. The mouse still does not work. Thanks.

    Is this a PS/2 or USB mouse?

    Even after that fix I gave you which seemed successful according to the log. Your new MGlogs.zip states:
    Code:
        i8042 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Port Driver -i8042prt- is NOT running  
      
    [SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

            ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
            BINARY_PATH_NAME   : system32\DRIVERS\i8042prt.sys

    It is a USB mouse. Does that matter?

    Yes. Have you tried a PS/2 mouse? Have you tried a different USB mouse? We're trying to figure out if it's just that mouse or if it's all types of mice.

    Run the below scan too:

    http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3941/minitoolbox.gif Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop and run it.

    Checkmark following checkboxes:

    • List Devices -> All
    • List last 10 Event Viewer log
    Press Go and attach the result (Result.txt) that pops up. A copy of Result.txt will be saved in the same directory the tool is run.

    Hey:

    Here is the result file from the Mini Tool Box.

    The mouse still won't work. Do you think I should reimage?

    No, try the below instead:

    Doing so may damage your PC!
    ========WARNING========

    Attached is i8042.zip

    Inside is i8042.reg
    Extract i8042.reg to your desktop.
    Now merge it into your registry by double-clicking it.
    If you received a successful message, reboot your PC and continue with the steps below the green line:
    If you did NOT receive a successful message, STOP and let me know.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Once you have rebooted, test your mouse.
    Regardless if it works now or not, run c:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat and attach the latest MGlogs.zip to your next message. (How to attach)

    Also you neglected to answer my previous questions:
    • Have you tried a PS/2 mouse?
    • Have you tried a different USB mouse?
