Here's the fresh logs, and a question.
Is it ok to run both AVG-AV free Resident and Spybot Resident, or should I just go one? If just one is better, which one? Thanks.

I thought those were probably the culprits.
But before I do anything, I'd like to double check something.
I think the NameServer may be my internet connnection. MSN dialup.

My son is really making things hard! At least it's not my PC!
Here's his HiJackThis! log. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!!!!!

I am running these protection programs on my son's PC. Am I running any redundancies? Are any of these going to conflict with each other?

SpyBot S&D w/Teatimer
AdAware
AVG Anti-Spyware...

Ya, I have the 90 free trial of Norton and I don't intend to keep it after that. That is why I'm trying to figure out what to use.
I'm already a firm user of Spybot, AdAware, HiJack This! (when...

Which ones do you guys like best? What do you personally use?
I finally got a new Dell (with Windows XP, didn't want Vista) It came with Norton Internet Security. But, my better judgement is...

I'll just call him and tell him to do that. He can handle it. He's a fairly intelligent young man. And I made him promise that he'd stay offline for now. Until I get SP2 and figure out other minor...

I knew it! ;o)

I guess that wraps it up, 'cause my son and his pc went home this morn. It's a done deal. Wish I'd had more time, still had a few ?s. But, oh well. No biggie. I've learned so much...

I already did all suggestions. Does this mean I should start all over and create a user account for "Harold" and then follow these steps again?

Yes, OK. He is the only user.

It was present...

Ok. I did change things around a bit. no more t:/ Temp.
I made it:
C:/ OS 8GB
E:/ ShortStay 5 GB
F:/ Application 6.99 GB
G:/ Long Stay (whatever GB left over) as a logical drive in an extended...

OK.
i couldn't wait. I now have four partitions.
c:/ OS 8GB
t:/ TEMP 5GB
p:/ PROGRAMS 10 GB
s:/ STORAGE 17GB
It's cool that you can label the volumes. I called them these so my son can try to...

And What about updating SP2 while in safe mode? Terrible trouble, but wouldn't it work? And should I try to do that before creating more partitions? Or does it matter?

I think I have the Dell recovery CD. It says "OS Already Installed On Your Computer" "Reinstallation CD Microsoft Win XP Home Edition". And Dell at the bottom.
Yes Mom-In-Law has high speed. I use...

I went through the steps you mentioned. I deleted a partition but it was only 31 MB and it was FAT32. The "c" drive is labled as partition1 and has 38131mb (can't remember precise number) free space....

Also, Why I ask about SP2, is because I'm having a hard time getting ahold of it. I was using my M-In-Law's pc for support (highspeed downloads, checking Daniweb, etc.) but now she's having trouble...

I'll look forward to your advice on placing folders tweaking the registry, etc. Thanks again so much! You are such a busy helper! Helping all these people! Your so Gerbilicious!

This all sounds perfect to me! Although I'll probably opt to skip the game imaging bit. My son has lots of games and I think he'd rather keep the drive space than run games faster. And it may be a...

Ok, So far this sounds good to me. I'll think of the partitions like a four drawer file cabinet.
So, one "drawer" for the OS.
One for Temp files.
One for Applications.
One for Music, Pics, and...

Yes, only one hard drive. 40 gb. The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400.

Could ya please?
Looks like my only option at this point. Kids insisted on going on computer in between fixing it, (seeing as it was working a little.) I told 'em better not! All of a sudden, while...

To be honest, I've already accepted it and I'd kinda rather just do that! (I almost did, but I just reinstalled windows instead)
But, will reformatting really take care of the problem completely?...

OK, this sucks!
Finally PandaScan finished updating and I chose to scan My Computer. It starts the scan, detects a virus, fixes it, proceeds to scan and then my browser disappears and I start the...

Ok, This is getting tricky. Panda scan is STILL scanning. I think the infection is respreading itself as I'm online doing the above mentioned tasks. (not from AVG website)
Anyway. VundoFix found no...

Well, I had to get your attention somehow! ;o). Thought the subject title might do the trick!
I just wanted to mention that I am a regular user of HiJackThis!, Spybot, and AdAware. I've been a...

Can someone please help me clean up spyware? Crunchie, Gerbil? Anyone? You all are so great! Thanks in advance for any advice!

Maybe I'll just start a new thread. The problem is here now, cause my husband was on his profile today. Now I started up and there's 108SearchAssistant and all kinds of stuff. Here's a HJT log and...

Hi there! I'm back again! All looked so good. But then my husband went online on his profile and the wuitgurd.exe came back. All the steps I took to ditch this thing and now I'm stumped! I did all...

Windows Adservice was popping into program files but I think I took care of it following the same steps. But for now......Looks good, Crunchie! Thanks so much!!

OK. I hope normal means with the "list normal/empty sections" boxes unticked. Here's a "normal" log file from yesterday. And I noticed that after I killed some processes on my task manager today,...

Ok. Brief summary of my problem. It first started when I noticed a PartyPoker icon on my desktop, and yazifind pop ups started to occur. I've been hijacked before and cleaned up fairly well (or did...

OK. Hubby did a system restore. Internet was working (still had pop ups), So I decided to run SpyBot again and see if any spyware was still lurking. Well it found a few things. I deleted the things...

It was Killbox. But I may have clicked on something (on Killbox) that I shouldn't have. I wasn't sure what to do with it once I ran it (Killbox) and I clicked a few things, (it may have been "delete...
