    I've had some problems with my pc, with programes shutting down without prompting, odd unrecognizable "prompts" for java downloads, and MS updates. I've done the list of pre-posting clean-up, and I've deleted some of the things that were found. I used Ad-Aware SE, then the HijackThis. Here are the results...
    Well... the AdAware-SE doesn't seem to be downloading to any .txt files from the actual program results, I will send you the hijackThis logfile, I hope this helps you to help me. If not, I would appreciate any other help you could give.
    HIJACKTHIS logfile:


    Running processes:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
    C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop\HijackThis.exe

    EDIT: removed inline HJT log

    Thanks, again for your timely and helpful response.

    Please do follow the guide section by section as its a very sucessfull way of helping remove malware from your PC,

    If the list of Pre Post Cleanup was our READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support I notice you have HJT installed in the exact place we tell you not to in the guide ( section 7 or Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis )

    You installed here
    C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop\HijackThis.exe

    Guide advises
    C:\Program Files\HJT folder

    If using a Startup Manager or msconfig to stop any startups, then you need to allow your PC to boot into Normal Mode to run HJT as all running processes are needed to make sure one nasty one hasnt slipped though.

    Windows Defender has not been installed and run, neither have the Panda and BitDefender scans ( Panda and BitDefender are required attachments ).... if their were problems in installing or running please tell us what they were.


    I would advise that you follow the guide listed below again, I know its long and having malware and a PC not functioning correctly is very frustrating, but following all of the guide verbatim, will help to quickly get you back running normally, otherwise it could be a long drawn out process of floowing the steps over and over again.


    -----------------------------

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis


    When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
    • Bitdefender
    • Panda Scan
    • HijackThis
