Yes- it's malicious.
Other than that though, the good news is that your log looks clean now.

As for the modem/Internet settings, I'm not sure about that and don't have the time to research it right now. I'll get back to you after I've had a chance to do so.

You need to go to Windows Update and get the Critical Updates for your system, at least SP1.

Thanks for the catch Danny-

I bought the updates on CD, so once I get my computer clean...

I've still had the browser redirect, the spyware frame at the bottom of IE and winwiz32.exe.trying to access the internet even though I deleted it...

The about:blank problem has stopped and I can also access the Internet as soon as my computer starts up now.

Should I update to SP2 anyway?

I am logging off now, but if you want you can download silent runners so that we can see if there is anything else running there that hijackthis cannot pick-up? I will have to check back tomorrow to have a look at the results.

Go here and download and run Silent Runners.vbs. It generates a log, please post the information back in this thread.

How do I run that? It was associated with Xing player (video/MP3 software) but I've removed that association...

No, definitely not yet. Installing SP2 on an infected or otherwise problematic system is not recommended; you could easily end up with much larger problems than you have now.

You can (and should) make sure you've applied all of the current critical/security updates for your current version of XP, but hold off on the SP2 upgrade until your computer is clean.



SilentRunners is just a VB (Visual Basic) script; if it somehow showed up as associated with Xing, that was a mistake on Windows' part.

The file should have a .vbs extension (if it doesn't, rename it so that it does), which would tell Windows that the file is a self-executing script. If the script won't run properly for some reason, try right-clicking on it, choose the "Open With..." option, and see if you have the option to open the file with the Windows Based Script Host. If you do, that program will run the script.

I get the error message "There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs"."

I'll see if I can run it through DOS later today...

It seems like you don't have the Windows Scripting Host installed; you can download the Win XP/2000 version here:
