Thanks for everything Judy,
Youre a legend!

Much respect

Dan

Everything seems to be running tiptop!
I do however have a question...
What needs installing on my computer to stop this sort of mess from happening again?

Thanks
Dan

Ok im rebooting but there was no disclaimer shown. Just a blue screen flashed up and then a prompt confirming the uninstallation.

Heres the most recent HJT Log...

Logfile of Trend Micro...

Use Java SRE 1.6.0_7 <for applet> (requires restart)
Has a check in the box.

On the far left when the dialog box opens I get the following message...
"Please wait while Kaspersky Online Scanner 7.0 checks your computer configuration."
Then after a while I get this message...

Yes I did Judy. Nothing there, I dont think ive used it before..
Not sure why it has not given me the option to download Activex either.

I only use internet explorer although Firefox is on my pc i dont use it. How do I check to see if its enabled?

Also my resutls were the following...
Congratulations!
You have the recommended...

ok, how do I check my Java version?

Sorry I dont even know what Java is..
And the 75% was the zoom that I was to do on the Kaspersky site if the accept button was unclickable..

Yeah i need to update Java.. It just wont let me click the accept button.
Although there is nothing related to Java on the website..?

Dan

But what i am having problems with is that it is saying i need Java 1.5 or newer? Even though I change it to 75% still the accept button is not clickable..

ignore that.

Hi
When i click that Kaspersky link it doesnt load an activex file. Im just sitting on the homepage... what do I do next?

Ill send that log asap, really want to keep it on this side of the fence! Any other software that I should run?

Its fine! I appreciate your busy and on top of that, helping me so no need to apologise.

Right, interesting things have been happening...
Those 2 websites with combofix i could not access (the...

am i doomed?

I have just restarted my pc and no prompt.

Since I entered "combofix /u" in start run. It came up on the restart.

You were right. What a nightmare!!!

In that case of scared of shutting it down for the night... Does that message = "Windows cannot find C:\windows\system32\CF26406.exe..."
come up everytime you load up windows? or was it the once?

Ok... I have just noticed that on the google search engine the text is back to normal size :) and also its not opening new windows with adds!! However its still not loading certain pages eg bleeping...

This is not good. Don't know I got it or how to shift it. Hopefully Judys going to work some magic.

On that restart i just recieved this message on a blue screen just before windows icons start loading up...
"Windows cannot find C:\windows\system32\CF26406.exe..."

Combofix and hostxpert (2007) were both used from before this post was created.
I know I should have made a post but i was anxious to sort this mess out. Apologies.

I have clicked Start then Run...

Ok thanks. Now this software worked.
19 discrepancies were found... although there was no option to fix these problems. Unsure if it was done by the program or what..

HKU\.DEFAULT\Control...

Running combofix didnt work. Same message about it detecting rootkit activity and needs to shut my laptop down.
This also happened when I renamed combofix to daniweb.exe.
