ones i saw off top of my head.

There's enough virii, worms, and spyware in that to sink a...umm...anyway...

Yup, tons. You need one of the hero's....err...experts. Google some of those filenames, you'll be surprised at the worms on that thing. (Actually, you hang out here, you probably won't be surprised at all lol!)

I wont be surprised i know how much this kid has messed up his computer i got rid of some spyware (ran ad-aware 700 detected), then i fixed some registry files (registry mechanich close to 400), got spyware blaster, switched his browser from IE to mozilla firefox, cleaned out some old registry files and got rid of some programs that he had that dont work. So i pretty much gave his system half of an overhaul in 20 minutes to an hour. See someone had gone on his computer while he was away all summer and these people who were watching his house left it on for who knows how long. And i know because a automatic update finished where if he was there he would of cancelled it 9i got like 80 for all except sp2, i didnt need more hassle right now).

Also he is the only user on his computer but somehow it says that the admin has turned off access to taskmanager.

And how do you increase the signal strength on a wireless router.

I know this a lot of questions and i thank you for anyhelp its just this kid really needs to learn how to take care of his pc wich cant take much more.

Run Spybot and Adaware first. In addition to what Killer suggested, all the red.clientapps should be deleted. Scan again and post a new log for one of the guru's to review. Your friend might also want to install SpyWare Blaster to help prevent further infections.

I did some of those things i still have to do a spybot scan but i dont know if you just posted this at the exact same time as my post but if not please read the posts before offering a suggestion it sort of hard to get answers when you have to repeat yourself.

No disrespect.

try www.sysinfo.org thats where most check their HJT logs against, its got a fairly complete list of BHO's and startup items, and for anything you cant find. just google it.

I'm adding that one to my favorites, Thanks, KT.

i would suggest leaving his broswer the same. really i use IE and i havnt got an infection on my computer for months. just some cookies here or there. but i have a pretty good setup on my machine also

adaware
spybot search and destroy
spywareblaster
spywareguard
Norton systemworks

with that setup ive been clean for months, and i havnt had to worry much if at all about any infections. for popups, i like google toolbar. stops em, and i can search when im at a site, which i happen to use alot more than i thought i ever would

:!:
Yeah, we were both posting at the same time (two minutes apart); that wasn't there when I was typing my reply.

700 detected by Ad-Aware!!!? :!:
