I don't know if this will help, but I recently uploaded a copy of HJT to one of my FTP servers; try getting it from there:

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

The Steve wolf .. gave me ..."unexpected error"
I am getting this when I try to download javacool blaster.
currently the latest is .."you have preformed an illegal operation" this can be waol , explorer etc.
the best I know to do is keep the gibberish files down, I accumulate at least a dozen everytime I am on line, and use spybot and cache and cookie washer.

Can you boot into Safe Mode with internet access and download HJT from there?

Also, while in Safe Mode:

Clean out all the Temp folders and Temporary Internet folders for all users on your computer. There could be something lurking in there that is executing. Do a search for *.tmp and delete everything found there as well.

Rerun SpyBot, Adaware, and your antivirus program from Safe Mode too.

If you can get on the web, try the free scans from TrendMicro and Panda as well.

Try this then:

Download HJT and any other utilities you want using a non-infected computer, burn the progrms to CD, and try to install/run them on your system from the CD.

Some of the infections which involve files with random, gibberish names can be very hard to remove- they drop components of themselves in multiple locaitons on your hard drive, and unless you remove every single piece of them they'll just generate more copies of themselves every time you boot up, start Internet Explorer, etc. Given that, you really should try to get a HJT scan done somehow, as SpyBot and a cache/cookie cleaning utility alone aren't going to do the trick for you.

I will have to burn a CD from a non infected computer, that didn't occur to me so many thanks for this , and to all who have contributed.
It will take some time to get someone to help, and resolve this, so this thread can be removed ....
thanks again

I'll just close this thread for now (to keep it from getting hijacked) instead of removing it. If you want/need to continue the thread once you've had a chance to get someone to help you out, just PM me and I'll reopen it.

Good luck, let us know how things go....
