Multiple spyware problems

Hello

Having tried steps 1-6 on the sticky to little or no avail, I am left with no choice but to start this thread in an attempt to exorcise this spyware which annoying the hell outta me, making my PC sluggish, (and probably logging internet activity?)

Well anyways heres low down

When I start windows a box saying "runtime error 5 at 004046ED" appears, it may or maybe related to spyware? I don't know, but a vertical side bar with buttons and pictures saying "gambling, pharmacy, xxx, spyware, insurance" appears on the right of my screen also.
Furthermore the desktop says "danger: spyware" and I cant right click on it, and it advertises raze spyware, all in a black box in the centre of the screen surrounded by a red background. I can't change this wallpaper due to the disabled right click.

Well I think thats all of it, all is help appreciated.

 

S*** what do you mean is a pirated windows XP, we bought this PC from an official company, Barda I think it was, and a damn good deal too, we met the guys who sold to us at an official computer fair, and ordered it from there. There are regulations and identity checks etc to ensure all traders there are official and legal etc... I'm pretty sure you've got your wires mixed up dude, that reset 5 must be a piece of spyware of some sort, or maybe caused by malware to make life difficult for people. surely a pirated copy of windows should be exactly the same as a normal copy, just copied.

anyway how do I get rid of it so I can make my copy of windows properly "official" as it were.

And by the way I did run online scanners, panda and a few others, I just removed traces of them using a registry editor, it shows registry keys of programs not frequently used, and voila, I delete (its called "regcleaner"). I also removed plugins etc associated with them.

Anyhow here is the spysweeper log and a new HJT log

Thank you for your help.

 

If you want me to go back and run those steps again, without deleting any signs on online scanners, I can, if you think it'll help.

 

ok, ok, thanks for letting me know. so I can remove it using the procedure shown, I was conned is what your saying basically. what about the spyware though, is it because of reset 5 or something else?

 

so it will keep bugging me to validate it, ok. so what? I really don't want to have to shell out on a new copy, that isn't fair, is there no way around this?

 

ok well, then, em, uh, your not gonna help me unless I get a legit copy of windows?

I looked up the validation /activation thing, I'll have a month then I'm locked out. Thats a raw deal, may as well contact the guys who sold it, see what they say....

 

ok thankyou for all your help guys - appreciate it, especially about the pirated windows thing, you may as delete the thread now, unless there's something else.
