hi folks,

this isn't the first time i've had to deal with something like this but this time around i'm unable to execute any applications on my pc. i tried rebooting in safe mode and then using sdfix but even that won't run. and because of this i'm unable to use anything like ccleaner, malwarebytes, or even make a hijackthis logfile.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated. i've already spent a few hours trying to tackle this myself but to no avail.

thanks to anyone who volunteers their time to help me out.

In safe mode.. rename your MBAM and hijackthis exe files to say, mm.exe and ht.exe, try then to run them.

okay,

Start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.

O18 - Filter hijack: text/html - {27ad87fe-f8bf-4593-8e1e-9e7ca6a99ca6} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiebbar.dll

Now delete these files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiebbar.dll
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\13930784\13930784.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\93940776\93940776.exe

Run MBAM as mm.exe, post the log.

i wasn't able to locate msiebbar.dll in that directory but i was able to take of everything else that you mentioned. after deleting those files i ran both mbam and superantispyware. the latter doesn't create a logfile though.

i created the log before i deleted the detections which is why it states no action taken.

Okay on the MBAm action... did you miss fixing this one with hijackthis?:
O18 - Filter hijack: text/html - {27ad87fe-f8bf-4593-8e1e-9e7ca6a99ca6} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiebbar.dll
It is a protocol hijack key for a trojan downloader, but you say you could not find the file - Avira may have caught it.

no, first i went through the hjt scan and deleted all of the specified files, including the one you just mentioned which was there.

afterwards, i went to manually delete the other files you specified. i found the other two folders but couldn't find the library file.

Okay, It slipped my mind your having Superantispyware: Please disable it from starting with Windows via the system tray control centre. Restart your sys, and then fix that O18 entry with hijackthis, then re-enable SAS.
Or this may get by SAS and fix it:
==Please copy the text in the box to a notepad [format/wordwrap unchecked] and save as fixkey.reg to your desktop; dclick it to run... agree; if it opens in notepad instead rclick the icon [file], choose Open with, Registry editor....

i think i may have spoke incorrectly, i was in fact able to delete the O18 line.

your last post has confused me. if i was able to delete that line is everything okay or do i still need to act further?

i ran a new hjt scan and that line has not recurred since i last deleted it.

Just take it in to best buy and have them deal with it
