You need to go to Windows Update and get the Critical Updates for your system, at least SP2.

Get SpywareBlaster (use the Software tools link in caperjack's signature), update it, and have it enable all protection.

Doing these two things will prevent most of the type of problems that just got cleaned up.

Are you still having trouble with searchfeed and kon4ay?

Yikes, hang on a minute- before proceeding with an upgrade to SP2, we need to get that system clean, and it isn't quite there yet.

These entries in the latest log still show signs of infection:

C:\WINDOWS\system.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ntrvs.exe
c:\windows\nic\taskmgr.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Floppy Master] C:\WINDOWS\system.exe
O23 - Service: Microsoft Security Subsystem Provider (eProxy) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\ntrvs.exe" " (file missing)
O23 - Service: Task Manager Help (TskHlp) - Unknown owner - c:\windows\nic\taskmgr.exe


rmsmx,

In one of his previous posts, dlh6213 provided instructions which should have eliminated most of the above entries; did you follow his instructions exactly? At the very least, the entire c:\windows\nic folder should not exist anymore.

Ooooo, sorry about that, I meant SP1! Typo! Thanks Dave

"Show hidden files and folders" may need to be enabled in order to see those entries DMR noted.

Sorry to be jumping on this thread, but I have no idea how to start my own new thread and this one seems to have some of the same problems I'm having. I'm getting pop-ups that appear to be generated from searchfeed.com. As well, my computer in running like it's on the beach (slowly through the sand if you know what I mean). Here is the file generated by Highjackthis. Please let me know what I need to do.
Thanks.
