As far as I remember, you can have messenger plus, but you need to deny the 3rd party installation that comes bundled with it.

Download the attached zip file and unzip fixme.reg. Close all browser windows. Double click the file to run it and when asked if you want to merge with your registry, answer yes.
Reboot when done...

Avast has just caused a bunch of problems in the last week, but I believe it is fixed now. I moved from Avast and went with Comodo AV and firewall.
Norton has to go though, imo.
Adaware is dated...

Personally, I wouldn't trust most apps that require payment to remove what they find.
Have you had a look to see if the entries actually exist?

Nothing found there. What problems is the pc still having?

Can you try changing the drive letters and see if it makes a difference?

Ok. I am lost on this one. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge than me will see this thread and have an answer for you :).

When you restart the pc, do the drives appear in the bios list?

That is really, really good and I am happy for you.....really, but this thread is not about YOU.

To the OP,

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware...

Go to Start | Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit the Ok button. Insert your CD if/when requested.

No, you never. What you offered him was another problem.
If you have no idea how to remove a trojan, I suggest you keep your opinions out of the Hijackthis forum.

Go to Start | Run and type in chkdsk /r and hit ok.
This will check for any errors and repair any found. It may take a while.

Do you have your XP OS CD?

Go in to the Device Manager and under disc drives and also DVD drives, locate the drives that are giving problems and double click on them.
Go to the driver Tab and select 'uninstall' driver.
When...

If I understand correctly, when you restart windows, the other hard drive and DVD drive do not show in the drive list?
Have you tried uninstalling the drives, then reboot and have them re-detected?...

You made it appear that all was well.

Please explain exactly the problem. Which drives are they? What is on them?

That may, unfortunately, be the case.

Are your graphics drivers up-to-date? That would be my next move. See if you can boot into safe mode after updating.
Let me know if your graphics card works ok.

I have uploaded that file for you. You need to copy it to the g:\windows\system32\drivers folder.

Let me know how you go and how the pc is after a reboot.

Ok. Close all your browser windows, run Hijackthis and do a scan. Put a tick in the box to the left of the following entry;

That is a good question :). Logs can be overly long and contain information that one does not want to advertise :).
