xp freezing after login- started after malware removal

xp pro sp3
amd athlon 64 4000+ 2.41ghz
2gigs ram
gigabyte mobo

No problem for a long, long time when a couple days ago i get the malware defense funtimes with some bundled trojans. After some fiddling i ran housecall, malwarebytes, combofix and cc cleaner and was all clear but all of a sudden my computer would hang and then freeze moments after i login to windows in normal mode.

Runs fine in safemode UNLESS i try to run chkdsk /r at whichpoint it freezes when loading up after i restart after being prompted to in order for it tp get down to business. chkdsk /r also freezes if run from the repair console. In order to get safemode working again i need to run windows in normal mode, cancel the chkdsk when it attempts to start (or else it will freeze after a few moments of being in normal mode as per usual) then restart in safemode.

chkdsk will run in /p and recognizes some damaged sectors.

loading the easytune sofware that came with the mobo before it locks up in normal mode it tells me my system fan is not working, but that my cpu temp is only like 25 degrees C. To try to fix this I opened up my box and cleaned it all out: sure enough my system fan was nasty dusty but after cleaning it out it still tells me the same stuff.


Help a brother out.

thanks,
Matt

 

Hi there funkfunkfunk :wave and welcome to the forums, i think your first port of call would be to click this link http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 and follow all the instructions carefully, after doing so please post all trhe required logs into the malware forum, with an explanation of what was happening and why, like you have here, and then just be patient and the malware fighters will get round to you and get you out of this mess !

I know you most probably think, well i've already done loads of scans and cleaned my puter out, but sometimes there are things that do get missed if you only run scans alone, let me assure you this, ( and don't take this personally ), but there is a lot more to fighting malware and virus infections than a lot of people think, thats why we have malware fighters in these forums, and BTW they are some of the best you will come across, the process in the malware link i have given you can be a little laborious, but go for it, and the malware fighters will have you up and running again in no time at all !

Thanks and Good Luck
Rusty !
