    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with Windows explore accessing the Web.
    I'm also having issues with Firefox being redirected, and something using up the majority of my CPUs resources and 60% to 70% of my bandwidth.
    I have run your cleanup procedures from the post. Read me first.
    It seemed to help, but I am still having issues. All of the scans were performed with updated programs. But I would disconnect from the Internet, perform the scan, remove what is found. Once all of this was done, I would reconnect to the Internet and more viruses would be downloaded.
    Please find the attached logs, as these may help you help me.

    Windows XP SP3.
    Intel core 2duo E8500 3.17GHz
    3 MB RAM @ 3.16Ghz

    Ok I followed every thing you told me to do to the letter. I got to combofix and followed the instruction. I ran the program and got to around stage 40 or so and it crashed my system and go in to memory dump. I allowed it to complete the dump and reboot. On restart i got a message saying error loading OS. I put my XP disk in to try and fix the problem. It tells me that the volume is full or croup and wants to reformat the drive. I then went into the recovery and DOS to have a look. I can not bring up the Dir's for c:\. I get the following message "An error occurred during directory enumeration.
    I can not allow it to reformat the drive, my whole life is on that drive. Can you help with this????

    So what exactly happens when you try to boot normally? Can you get in via safe mode? I will have to consult with my colleagues regarding this.

    After the Bios load all it says is "Error loading operating system".

    Do you have your XP CD handy?

    Can you get into BIOS to see if the hard drive is being detected?

    In any case, I think you would be better off working out this problem in the hardware or software forum, and then return here to continue on with what we were doing. I am sorry I cannot assist you personally any further until you have this problem solved.

    I can see the C:\ drive though the set up on my XP CD as well as the 8MB partition, but shows that is empty. And I can see the C:\ drive in the recovery module, but can not see any of the files on it. The stat drive is 80GB and had about 4 GB of space left on it the last time I looked. Im not sure how Comobofix works but it may have filled this empty space while doing its thing and over written part of the windows boot sector.
    An ways I'm going to open a post on the software page and talk about recovery. Thank you for your help. If I get it back up and running I'll be back to get the rest of the uglys cleaned out

    I personally don't think combofix would have caused that to happen. Yes, so post in software, and come back once you are up and running again :)
