Not sure what programs you have, and I know you can't get Windows updates
So you may as well get used to infections

http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'

\' />

Try the following

==Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc...
Windows Cleanup! 4.0
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

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/

Please Save these instructions too a Notepad file on the desktop for reference
and/or Print this out
Restart your computer into
SAFE MODE
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

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mscfg] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mscfg.exe

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
or HERE
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

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

It's been a couple weeks since that day passed

I have a regular job during the day that keeps me off the forum
That's why the time difference

Anyways, yah defrag wouldn't hurt

Take care Edward, I'll lock this topic down
