Questolo

[StormieK]

Questolo, you helped me a year ago and I'm back.  Desktop crashes about every 24 hours, computer just stops running, it takes 3 to 6 times restating computer before it will come back up.  I asked for help about a month ago and didn't hear from you.  I think it's because I've got a new address.  It's [email protected]  so would you please write me back here and/or change my address.  I don't know how to do that.  Thanks and I've attached a fresh hijack this log.

Hi again StormieK
Can you try the following please
Print these instructions or copy>>Paste them too a text file so you can follow along in the case that internet connection needs
established

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop
We'll need it in a bit

Do a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{02813B7E-D906-4E64-A0BD-813269A5FA26}: NameServer = 85.255.113.90,85.255.112.165
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{B81A9DF4-055E-4900-A737-2487E4997FBF}: NameServer = 85.255.113.90,85.255.112.165
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{BAE58B05-BE46-4724-A312-DC7E9C6F08DE}: NameServer = 85.255.113.90,85.255.112.165
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.113.90 85.255.112.165
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{02813B7E-D906-4E64-A0BD-813269A5FA26}: NameServer = 85.255.113.90,85.255.112.165
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.113.90 85.255.112.165


After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows
Including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Double click on FixWareout.exe
 Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.

The fix will begin; follow the prompts.  You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.  Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads please post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log.

NOTE: IF, and only if you have problems with Internet connection after doing the above
Please go to Start -> Control Panel, and choose Network Connections.  Then right click on your default connection, usually Local Area Connection or Dial-up Connection if you are using Dial-up, and left click on properties.  Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio button that says Obtain DNS servers automatically.  Click OK twice, and restart your computer.

[StormieK]

Here you go...

I think you asked me if my computer was running better.  It seems to be somewhat, maybe a bit faster.  I know that for along time I had to turn it off 3 to 6 times before it would come back up and now I can click restart and it does without a hitch!  What do you think?  I see some 'things' that have (missing files) and wonder what that means.  Do you know?  I'm grateful you're helping me:)

[guestolo]

I see that you have/had Norton's installed, There is still an entry related to it's security suite on your system
You now appear to be totally using McAfee's
If that correct

You may want to do the following
Go to START>>RUN>>type services.msc
Hit OK

New window, right hand side, scroll down to this service name
SymWMI Service

STOP the service if running, in the dropdown startup type bar, choose DISABLED

Apply and ok out of there
If there's an entry in add/remove for Symantec Security Center, you may want to remove it

The file missing are misinterpertations by Hijackthis
Not to worry
One mention however, the ones related to BitDefender
If you don't use the Online scanner
In IE click on TOOLS>>Remove Bit Defender (something like that)

Do you have Ad-Aware installed?
I would run updated Spyware scans with both Spybot 1.4 and Ad-aware SE Personal 1.06
Remember to reboot after running them

Do you have SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 installed?
Or you still using 3.4?
You can look in add/remove for file version or open SpywareBlaster
I suggest that you update it in certain steps, post back and let me know what version is installed please

[StormieK]

Doggoneit!!!  My computer is running as hard as it can again!  Yes I have Clean up and I use it every day.  I just tried and it will run but says another browser is running....arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

I'll be right back with the rest of the info you need....sorry about this...it seemed ok just a few minutes ago:(

[StormieK]

Ok...before I go on, just so you know, there are words through these messages that are underlined like before and when I hover over them a box opens and says 'where I can go to find whatever that word is'.  What in the world is that???



Ok, to answer you:)

I'm using McAfee now and not Norton.  I did as you instructed but there was no Symantic Security Center in my Add/Remove.

There was no Disable for the Startup Type Bar.  Just Automatic and Manual.  I stopped it though.

I have Ad-Aware and run it every day.

I still have Spyware Blaster from when you helped me last year at this time and it's the 3.5.1 version.  I use it about 5 times a week.

This computer is still running like mad....for about 30 minutes now without stopping!

Oh, I need to get rid of BitDefender.  I haven't used that since you helped me last year.  I'll go do that.  A window poped up and said it isn't there when I clicked on the name.

I think this is all you asked for...

Thanks,  Stormie

[guestolo]

Reboot the computer
I need to see a fresh hijackthis log

With the fresh log
Can I also see the following
Download and save too your root directory
In your case, This will be the C:\ directory
 F-Secure Blacklight(blbeta.exe)
So you will now have C:\blbeta.exe
* Open a command window. (Start>Run and type: cmd)
* Copy paste or type the following in the command window:

C:\blbeta.exe /expert
   
    * Accept the user agreement.
    * Click Scan.
    * After the scan finishes, click on Next, then Exit.
Do not rename any files if found by blacklight, I need to see the log

BlackLight will create a log with the name "fsbl-xxxxxxx.log".
Can you post back here the contents of C:\"fsbl-xxxxxxx.log".
