Jimmy Giles,
I am in a similar dilemma as well, however I don't know Jack Squat about PHP. I believe you would also need an online merchant account, and then use something like Paypal. The "web...

I hardly know anything about PHP, scripts and so on. I only know how to create static websites. I would like to create an online magazine service with a few "freebie" pages and then have a membership...

Again, Thank you! I was sweating bullets back there! The Wombat of Happiness Lives ON!!

I hit "connect" and its up and running. Thank you very much. Sorry for the hassle.

Before you let me go, do you have any tips on staying protected?

You guys ROCK!

I still get this message when I start IE:
"The web page you requested is not available offline. To view this page, click connect."

However Mozilla works fine. Is there something I need to look...

Im going to post another HJT log
in a min.

Well, when I try to set the Security restrictions in IE settings off of HIGH - it does not allow me to. On Symantec's website, the info about the Trojan.Regger.A list a value for possible vslue...

I believe I may have this, but I cannot actually find it when I do a virus scan:

Trojan.Regger.A

It sets IE restricted sites level to high.
Since I am fearfull of keeping my PC online, I am on...

I know I am bugging the hell out of you guys - THANK YOU for your help. I don't know what to do anymore. Here is a new HJT Log - maybe it will help

Also there is a blank spot in The SYS CONFIG startup category.
Startup Item is blank, Command is blank, and the Location is this:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I did...

Thank you. I deleted all those including the one in the registry, and after a reboot, I had to register Windows XP again. I'm now looking into this smss.exe (session manager subsystem) file in task...

What if I uncheck vwflof and prutmct in the System Configuration Utility in the STARTUP tab? What would happen? Or what would that do?

and yes, Show hidden files is checked - that's what puzzles me

Can you provide info or a link on how to backup a registry?

Thank you

I'm thinking that looking for fishy exe files in C:\Windows and C:\Windows\system32 created Jan. 29, 2005 at 1:19 PM and newer might help?
I found this one too:

pi1.exe in C:\Windows

this one...

prutmct is also in there too

Ahhha,
msconfig
STartup tab shows vwflof
and it's not listed in the task manager

does this help?

Spybot and Ad-Aware have not found anything, but IE is totally useless still.
I am also running BHODemon, I ran CWShredder, and have SpywareBlaster.

I can't find vwflof.exe in that folder, but as I snooped around google for HyperLinker I searched my registry and found vwflof.exe in here:...

I have been searching around on my pc and found HyperLinker3.exe I read that HyperLinker was bad - Do I need to get rid of this too?

By the way - I have only been able to run Firefox since I screwed my pc with loads of MAlware and such. Will I be putting my pc at risk again for going back to using IE? (sorry for the tons of...

Nevermind about the Ad-Aware stuff - I ran it twice and had nothing on it.
The TrojanHunter cleaned the necessary files and I ran the latest Fix tools from Symantec - Nothing to report ( I have also...

TrojanHunter for now shows that I have some possible Trojan Downloaders in my Temporary Internet files folder . . . . .
Content.IE5\ZMC37L8P\ei40[1].exe
Content.IE5\ZMC37L8P\pi[1].exe
and these...

SORRY, I forgot to do the Trojan Scan. I will run it and post a newer log.

By the way when I was searching for prutmct I also came across PRUTMCT.EXE-0A46DFE5.pf but I left it alone - However, I DID delete prutmct.exe

Thank you for your help I will do as you say. I have been running Adaware all day like crazy too, and I keep getting ie2bar and ie2 and it won't go away. Does this info help too?
Thanks again- I...

By the way; I am not on my pc because the spyware is so bad, I cannot even get to this forum without having problems. So doing a HJT log might be difficult.

I have had problems today with the ISTsvc & I think I have gotten rid of it by going to the Task Manager and ending the following:
mmups.exe which then let me end and remove istsvc.exe through...
