Not sure what programs you have, and I know you can't get Windows updates So you may as well get used to infections /tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />
Try the following
==Download and Install this small program to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc... Windows Cleanup! 4.0 (http://\"http://downloads.stevengould.org/cleanup/CleanUp40.exe\") Give the link time to load or try it twice, it may be busy Don't run this yet, we'll need it in a bit
==Download and then Install Ewido Security Suite (http://\"http://download.ewido.net/ewido-setup.exe\")
When installing, under "Additional Options" Uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu". When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We'll fix that later From the main ewido screen, click on Update in the left menu, then click the Start update button. After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful") Close out Ewido for now, we'll need it later If for some reason the Updater won't work can you manually download the Updates from this link after you have Ewido installed http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/ (http://\"http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/\")
Please Save these instructions too a Notepad file on the desktop for reference and/or Print this out Restart your computer into SAFE MODE (http://\"http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001060608000039?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=4#_Section4\") You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, just before Windows loads, or use the link I supplied for a more detailed explanation
In safe mode find and delete the following file C:\WINDOWS\System32\mscfg.exe <-file
==Open Windows CleanUp!>>START>>programs>>Cleanup! Click on the CleanUp button, let it finish scanning for files DECLINE to Log off or Restart when scan is done.
==Open Ewido trojan scanner Click on the Scanner button on the left menu Click on the Settings button on the right Select "Scan Every File" OK it and then click on the "Complete System Scan" *If Ewido finds something it will prompt you with "Infected Object found" Ensure the following are Selected *1. Perform Action = Remove *2. Create Encrypted Backup in Quarantine (Recommended) *3. Perform action with all infections Then click OK When Ewido has finished it's scan click the "Save Report" button Save the report to desktop Exit Ewido
NOTE: When Ewido is running do NOT open any other Windows Let it do it's job
Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:
O2 - BHO: SS SS Plugin - {1D1B2879-99FF-11E3-8D96-D7ACAC95952A} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\mscfgwb.dll
After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows, Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis
Restart back to Normal mode Run another scan with Hijackthis and post a fresh log Also post the report from Ewidos

I would access your Add/Remove programs via Control Panel Remove the following that are not needed unless you use them Viewpoint Manager (Remove Only) Viewpoint Media Player
Finally remove Spybot 1.3
Restart your computer
Back in Windows Download and Install Spybot 1.4 from HERE (http://\"http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10122137.html?part=104443&subj=dlpage&tag=button\") or HERE (http://\"http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\") After installation--Click the UPDATE button on the left SEARCH FOR UPDATES on the right Check, and download all updates Click the Search & Destroy button on the left Check for Problems---When the Scan is complete FIX all selected promblems in RED
RESTART the computer if any items are fixed in RED
Back in windows, that should get you clean I know I've warned you about Windows updates, if you can't for some reason upgrade to Service pack 2 I would also suggest that you install a different Firewall than the one provided by XP Here's a free solution from Sygates' http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm (http://\"http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm\")
After installation and you restart your computer When Sygate's is running you don't need the Firewall of XP's running too, so shut it down if enabled, it's never a good idea to run more than software firewall at the same time
Stay safe
