Definitely need to know what model Asus motherboard it is.

Edit: Whoops, didn't look. It's an A8V. I'll check it out a bit later when I'm not so busy and see if any of the BIOS updates are...

What graphic card have you got and where did you get the driver update from please?

It seems you have one of the NVidia based display cards, and I'd strongly advise against getting drivers from...

I have no idea why you've attached a HijackThis log to your post, but here at DaniWeb such logs are ONLY allowed in the Viruses Spyware and Nasties section. I've moved your topic there in accordance...

Hi peetrod, and welcome to Daniweb.

Your problem isn't really a 'Dead machine'. It's a working Windows Me system which has problems after being infected with a 'Net nasty'. I'll move this to the...

I've moved the topic for you. In future could you please make effort to locate the correct section in which to post your problem.

Cheers, and welcome to Daniweb :)

I'll move this to the Viruses and Nasties section, because that's the only section where HijackThis logs are allowed to be posted :)

We have a special forum section for Viruses and other 'Nasties' tony.

I'll move your topic to that section so that you can get the assistance you need.

sunandoghosh, do you realise that if you load www.google.com (http://www.google.com) and type in what is safe mode windows you will get heaps of information?

Hi again. You have said that you were told to rename your Hosts file, but where were you told that? You also stated that you "have run all the scans for trojans, worms and spyware and they are all...

Run msconfig and check the startup list for any of these:

SCHOST.EXE
ntspcv.exe

Testament to the fact that it's ALWAYS best to use standard tools before mucking about with things like HijackThis ;)

I've moved this to the Viruses and Spayware section for you, so I guess you'd best simply wait for a response. That certainly sounds like a spyware hitchhiker to me!

No need to be sorry. Repost your log in that section. get your system checked for unwanted intruders, and come back here if the assistance there doesn't resolve the matter for you. :)

Try up to date (and updated) versions of both Spybot and AdAware. Each will detect things the other won't.

Report back and let us know how it goes please.

I'll move this to the viruses and nasties section. I'm pretty sure that's a WildTangent spyware problem.

Be that as it may, but you should ensure that an adequate antivirus program is installed, set to automatically update and to perform continual background scanning. You should also ensure that...

That is why, Answerpooler, if you have a Broadband connection you should always at least have the 'Internet connection firewall' enabled, preferably a more comprehensive Firewall program running, and...

I'm not sure what you're saying here, Answerpooler. The concept of broadband is that the PC is continually online whilst in operation. You've mentioned "shutting down AOL", but the actual connection...
