    Hey whats up!...

    i did the malware READ & RUN ME FIRST things..
    and put 2 posts up with the attached files

    after i posted..
    i looked in the fourm..
    to make sure i did it right...

    and they where posted in the fourm..

    i said to my self..
    cool..i did it right...there they are posted in the fourm..

    i went to check on them today
    Where are my posts at???..

    i did a search under...all my posts..
    and there not showing in there...

    its like they dissapered..

    now im worried you removed my posts..

    DUE TO THE FILES YOU ASKED FOR...
    maybe having some of my personal information on them..
    you didn't want people to see..

    even though they were posted for a few days..
    before they were removed (dissapeared)


    yeah..
    what happened to my post..
    with the attached files..

    Interesting. I checked the moderation queue and deleted posts history and they aren't in either place. Don't understand what could have happened.:confused

    Were they replies to this thread?

    Try posting them again and we'll see what happens.

    yeah every time i make a post..
    i go back to the fourm i posted in..
    to see my posts..
    and open them up..
    to see if they came out right...

    i know i did it on the one im talking about..
    because i even DOWN-Loaded one of the files i attached..
    and opened it up to see if that worked..
    i downloaded the MSG-tools one..

    i even read threw all my babble..lol..
    to see if it made some sense also..

    i always go back to the fourm page...

    Am i Clean ???

    Hey whats up!!!..

    first let me say..THANKS for trying to help me out here..
    yeah thanks to who ever looks at this for me....

    second let me say..
    SORRY if this post is a little long..

    im just trying to tell you everything you might need or want to know..
    that i tried doing...
    so that you'll be able to tell me if i removed all the bad things..
    lol bad things..

    why do people make bad things, to do bad things out here anyways...

    ok here goes...

    **First let me say i would have Rather Did a re-install of XP..
    then doing all what i have
    ..
    but since this computer was given to me..
    i have no XP disk for it...
    PLUS it is a OEM OS...no recover disk either...***
    **checking into doing that is a project for the future***

    this computer was given to me 4 or 5 years ago..
    the guy told me it just woulden't start up into the OS..

    when i got the computer home i put it in a corner
    and i've just had it collecting dust for 4 years or so..

    well..
    one day i finally took a look at it...
    and now...
    i've been working on it...ON AND OFF
    for 8 or 10 months..

    no big rush..
    its not my only computer...

    well..
    i figure i'm going to finally try to get it all squared away..
    so here i am...

    (if any of this matters)
    its a DELL DIMENSION 2100
    INTEL CELERON 1.1 Ghz
    256 Mb Sdram
    XP HOME Ver 2002 (OEM)
    Service Pack 2 (i slip streamed this pack)
    it was orginally SP1 when i got it..


    I HAVE NOT... HAD IT CONNECTED to the internet YET..
    thought I'd throw that in there...
    since you will notice in my log files theres no anti virus
    (except what you had me install from the DO ME FIRST STUFF)
    and My Win firewall is dissabled..and theres no other Firewall installed..
    and my Restore is turned off...i like CLONING better..i have what im showing you here Cloned...

    I'm just starting to get familiar with XP
    (go figure...end of life cycle coming up here soon)
    i guess i just love my Win 98 way to much..
    anyways...

    when i first tried starting the computer...
    it would not boot into the OS at all..
    Regular-Mode or even Safe-Mode
    just like the guy said..
    it wouldent start up at all...

    IT DID
    boot into the Bios
    so i knew the computer worked at least...
    everything in the Bios was Good..

    i've done so many things cleaning this computer..
    im not sure i will remember them all..

    here goes..

    first thing i did was
    a system repair with a
    Windows XP HOME Windows 98 Update DISK...
    ( i think its an old orginal SP1 XP Update Disk )
    ( i found it in a dumpster a few years back..still wraped in the orginal XP box...lol..my lucky day..lol..)

    Anyways..

    im pretty sure thats what i did..(a system repair)
    what ever i did it finally started up in safe mode..
    BUT.....
    it took like a Hour or so until it got to the DESK TOP in Safe Mode...
    (THATS WHEN I KNEW IT HAD BAD THINGS WATING INSIDE...)
    it took soooo long to get to the desk top..1 hour or so...
    in safe-mode...
    anyways...

    then i started doing stuff..
    lol...stuff...

    the very first i did...
    i KNOW i used the
    Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.exe
    in DOS....

    what it removed..what it did..im not sure..
    all I KNOW IS..

    it did find and remove some stuff..
    and booting into Safe-Mode was *somewhat faster*..
    only like 30-40 minutes to get to the desk top after running the MS Tool...

    Only STILL Able to ONLY get into Safe-Mode..

    still SLOOOOW..
    and the mouse curser was moving really slow
    (is 10-20 minutes to a icon fast..lol..)

    First i looked around inside the Program Files..
    No Nortons Symantic..No MCafee..No AVG Grisoft..No Avast..
    No Lavasoft...Nothing...
    ( Yeah Internet Porn *Plus* No Computer Condoms = Bad Things....lol.).
    ..
    i tried installing AVG 7.5 in safe mode..
    didnt work the first time..

    DAYS LATER..lol...many tries of installing AVG...
    crashing freezing...

    i finally got AVG installed..

    started a scan...
    DAYS LATER it finally finished Scanning..

    it actually took like 2 days to finish a scan..
    then crashed when i hit remove..lol...
    items found
    287.976.234..

    LOL..it wasen't that exact number..
    BUT IT WAS A SH_T LOAD..
    it was either 100 thousand something..
    or 300 thousand something..
    i forget..
    all i remember was..
    it was MORE THEN I'VE EVER SEEN on any computer...

    and AVG kept freezing on the scans that took days..
    and kept freezing on the REMOVES..

    i Gave up on AVG..that wasen't Working....

    i tried SuperAntispyWare...
    Finally DAYS LATER..
    i was able to get it installed
    superantispyware..
    in safe mode..
    i forget how many times i tried installing it

    days later
    SAS found like 260,000 or 240,000 things.
    in safe mode...

    Hit remove..CRASH..
    tried it over and over for days..
    Gave up on SAS..
    not working...

    then i tried CC cleaner..
    Safe Mode...
    DAYS LATER
    FREEZING..
    Gave UP on CC cleaner

    i think you get the picture...
    i'll let it go at this...

    MY HEADS POUNDING just remembering how much my head was pounding
    trying to get this computer to start up faster the 40-50 minutes to SafeMode..
    and 10-20 minute for mouse moves..
    and 10-20 minutes Clicks to open folders..
    so i could try and even start to clean it up...
    it was a big head ache even trying to install softwear..
    and running any software took days..
    and it didn't even do anything but crash..

    GOD I DO REMEMBER !!!!!!..
    this next bit...

    i found and used this KICK AZZ program that helped alot..
    not ALOT..i should say
    A S-IT LOAD!!!!


    it is UBCD4Win..

    UBCD4Win..i'll say it again...

    Ultimate Boot CD for Windows..
    it was a virtual thing..
    that let me run programs without going into the OS..
    i guess it did stuff in DOS..
    not really sure how it really works.....
    all i know is it was working when nothing else i tried did..

    it let me run Superantispyware from my CD-Rom..
    AVG too..
    Adaware..
    Avast..
    all in a virtual mode...

    i was able to run all those programs without even OPENING MY Operating sysytem
    i was able to remove BAD THINGS without even needing to be in Safe Mode..
    or in Normal mode..

    UBCD4Win isen't really for Stupid People..
    but its well worth STUDYING for..

    IF IT WASEN"T FOR UBCD4Win..
    i'd still be back at square one with this project..

    anyways...

    i remember some of the BAD THINGS names..
    but not every single one..
    there was ALOT!!!..

    oh yeah i forgot..
    after using UBCD4Win...

    i used some Special removal tools form MicroSoft...
    for some of a few worm things..i forget their names..
    and the other special tools i forgot where they came from..
    Nortons web site..i think..

    then i installed and ran regular AVG..Avast..SAS..Adaware..
    in Safe-Mode finally...
    removing each one after i ran them..
    in safe mode and then again in Normal-Mode...
    installing them one at a time...running them...then un-installing each one..
    before installing the next and running it...

    anyways..

    i remember removing..
    Padobot H..
    i think it was H..i know it was a padobot..
    W32 something trojan..
    some dialers..
    A bunch of Trojans...
    some worms..
    ect..ect...

    anyways..
    i think you get the picture..

    well one day a while back i stumbled acrost your guys web site..
    and i really like it alot..
    its helped me out alot
    it has alot of nice people..
    and alot of good information
    that has always worked for me..

    well my computer works pretty good now..
    i think its still a little slow probally due to it being a slow processor..
    and not alot of memory for a SP2 Xp Home...system...

    im writing all this babel because..
    im just wanting to make sure its cleaned up totally..
    before i try moving on..installing software to keep..
    and before i even connect to the internet...

    oh yeah i slip streamed the SP2..
    and tweaked the Services stuff a little too..
    to speed it up a little..

    like...
    AutoUpdates Dissabled
    MS firewall dissabled..
    NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing Dissabled
    Portable Media Serial Number Service Dissabled..
    ECT...ECT...

    Turned some stuffs settings,,from auto to manual..


    IM Going To install a firewall
    and some Anti Virus..
    Before i finally connect to the internet..
    and..do the updates..
    stuff like that..

    but im holding off on all that untill its clean..

    yeah what ever anti virus i've installed and ran..
    Trying to clean this up...
    AVG..AVAST..SAS..Adaware..
    i've always removed it after i used it..

    thats why some of info i send you on these log files
    will not show any Anti Virus installed on my system..
    same with a firewall..
    im not going to install them to KEEP..
    Until i am pretty sure my stuffs clean...

    i know it would help alot for you to know what was exactly removed
    so it can help you know what your dealing with..
    sorry i couldent let you know more of all i've done so far..
    BELIEVE ME!!
    I removed alot best as i could..
    I MEAN ALOT!!!!!...
    MORE THAN I'VE ever seen on any computer ever..

    im trying to take this one step at a time..
    i know theres probally things wrong with
    the OS itself also
    and theres things that need to be repaired

    i want to try to clean all the BAD THINGS first
    before i even think of going on the internet..
    or install More OS updates..
    install some software...ect..ect..

    just let me know what you might need to know to help me out here..
    or anything else you think i should try doing..

    i think i did the steps you wanted me to do in the *DO ME FIRST THINGS* right..


    heres the logs i got that you wanted me to get...

    Your logs are clean. Other than the fact that you have no AV program installed and you are trying to run this with way too little RAM installed, you will need to take up any other issues in the software forum.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real-time protection. They are useful as backup scanners.They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
