Windows Memory mgmnt has it under its control. If you are looking at Task Manager, Available physical memory, and wondering why it is so big, possibly more than half your installed RAM, be assured...

Good morning.
Installing Recovery Console is a precaution in case Combofix breaks your sys. If you have a bootable XP cd you do not need it on your hard drive- it is then just a convenience.
This...

It will. If it returned once.... Okay, there are files there that I cannot see, to protect and regenerate malware. I suspect a rootkit, and this tool will flush out most problems:
==Download this...

Norton/ symantec. The latest product seems to be performing better in the mix. Anyway, trot along to this page and get the correct removal tool for your version of Norton - use it to completely clean...

Good stuff, bushoi.
You can close and open explorer.exe at will, it is nothing special. Think of it as similar to IE. Well, it doe share a lot of functions.
browseuiad.dll seemed to be a modified...

You would need to close all browsers [well, IE uses it... not opera or firefox] and also explorer, firstly. Delete via cmd.exe :
cd\
del /f /s /q /a C:\WINDOWS\system32\browseuiad.dll
Or there is...

Okay, thanks for that report. Because browseuiad.dll is unknown and its CLSID unregistered you should do the following:
Start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries...

Get Process Explorer from Winternals. The tool for the job. It will show you the handles and dlls used by any running process.

Check to see that you have this file in your sys: c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll -report back on this.
Virus Scan:
==Please go to this web page http://virusscan.jotti.org/, click browse and...

For a far more complete listing of startups you should use the Misc Tools section of Hijackthis. Msconfig gives you results from just a few registry keys.

Ah... I see where you are. Files and folders are it, just build a good structure with different aspects well separtated for easy location. I start right from the top with different partitions for...

A database?

I think you will find that the disk controller is in the hard disk package... Why? Because it alone knows where everything is on the disk surfaces. The OS just asks for things to be...

And rubbing with your fingertip with toothpaste is a great way to remove those minor scratches on the cd surface. True.
So, pits washed with warm soapy water, and cleaned with toothpaste, it's all...

I might have known it.. there actually is a bestsitetobe.com

Okay, when you type in a URL, say http://www.bestsitetobe.com, the web does not recognise that as a valid machine address, so it is converted to one, an IP address, say 234.34.121.005 which is linked...

To elaborate on what godspeed posted.. those IP addresses are for an address in New Delhi : is that valid for you, plastered? They have persisted throughout all your posted logs, including those in...

It is probably the log that some installer makes and refers to when installing software, also may be used by an uninstaller. If you are concerned about malware run a scan.

Do i agree that it is a painfully long process...? Yep, getting your sys setup back how you like it certainly is.
So first, I wouild try system file checker... you know, Run..
sfc /scannow
And...

:)
I did mean the firewall, not utorrent.
Which, I guess, means KIS itself. you are going to need the cleaning tool to do it properly.

Dead is easy. But if you want to get it going.. and are not too fussed about what is on it, and have some form of boot disk available like Recovery Console... or can borrow an XP disk.... just use...

Plastered, that does look like a firewall problem. But shutting it down likely will not fix it- you must uninstall/reinstall it.

Most usually external, hails. And you do not say what connection you have from your modem, or whether your modem is internal.. ie a card. But if so, it would have a socket on it protuding to rear....

Hello, pete, I tend to agree with Kraai. In OE go Tools, Accounts, lclick the old account if it is there and Remove it. Then get email details from your new ISP [I'm thinking POP3 and SMTP URLS, ...

"safe mode just gives me a black screen and safe mode in each corner of monitor" ...that sounds like Safe mode, alright, but without Explorer running, cos you should see maybe a few of your icons...

Josh... services.exe... go into system32 and rename any services.exe you find there, say to servicesA.exe and so on. The real services.exe will be replaced in a few seconds by Windows File Protection...

Roz, do you have an antivirus service installed [just the one...]?
I assume that BIOS runs at normal speed [say, 10 secs to where it commences Windows loading]?------
And then windows takes...

"I have already removed the older version of Norton using the Windows "Add or Remove Programs""
-use the Norton removal tool specific to that old installation. They publish it for a reason.

Mmm.. works okay for me. Just did a test loading of a zip file..

Get the Norton removal tool from their tech website for your old norton AV service. You may find you need to reinstall the new version.

Xp will recognise up to 4GB, 3GB in practice; 64 Xp 128GB... Here:

"It seems that demiweb does not allow zip Upload files"
Go Advanced, Manage Attachments, browse to your .zip file.

Sounds handy for rebuilding a file sys in a replacement computer, etc, Jupiter. Just network the two and go gor it.

"ps. we can't install any software on our pc's." Oh? Then can you write something yourself? I don't mean with a pencil and paper... Anyway, it may be laborious, but if you can't install sware then...

Ah, sorry, Coolin.. sometimes I take things for granted. Yes, it is indeed the tool you needed.

"So I need a 'snapshot' of all file access from when I click the 'Update' icon in AVG up to 3 or 4 seconds later when the denied access message comes up. I can't seem to get this type of 'snapshot'...

Process Monitor.

That code, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4220&SUBSYS_27018086&REV_05\4&16793A72&0&20F0 would be for an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG? So get the driver for that from Intel's site, and browse to it to install it....
