all of a sudden a few days ago i got the starware toolbar and now i can't load my home page. i ran spy subtract to get rid of a few files and uninstalled the starware and the extra toolbar in my browser is now gone. but i still can't access a few of my web pages. the other computer here on the same network can access these pages just fine. i've read some similar issues on here so i ran hijackthis and will post the log below to see if there is a problem. any help would be great.

Hi rmdcorp, welcome to DaniWeb :D

I've moved your thread to the virus forum as this is the only place where HijackThis logs are to be posted.

Follow the recommendations and instructions in the links below.

After you've done that, and moved HijackThis, please post a new log to clean up any remaing items.

here is my new hijackthis log after protecting and cleaning with the previous steps. i will await further instructions on what to do next because with both ie and firefox i cannot view those certain web pages still.

still having a few problems with the webpages...do i need to reinstall windows explorer? but firefox won't load those pages either when my other computer on the same network will load them

spybot comes up with backweb lite with 57 entries, i was told that the computer needed this program for something...could this be part of the problem? should i get rid of it?

Western Digital Data Lifeline, HP, and Compaq use BackWeb Lite to check for updates automatically, but it also installs advertisement popups and such on your system. It's best to have Spybot clean those up, but you may have to get your updates manually if you do. If you wish to keep it, you can have Spybot exclude BackWeb Lite so you no longer get the warnings. CounterSpy should have detected that as well.

Open Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab, and then Reset Web Settings.

Let us know if this helps.

i got rid of backweb lite and reset my web settings but i still cannot access those same pages. i also got a letter today from my isp stating that they received complaints of my ip address trying to access other computers and that i may have a trojan. i think all of that is fixed but i am still having a problem with those web pages and every once in a while my computer will got to a blank white screen with pen stripes vertically on it. the reset button won't work so i have to cut the power and turn it back on again. i just got this computer two weeks ago and i have all my information backed up, so if it would solve these problems to reload windows then i could do that. let me know what you think.

Reinstalling Windows actually seems like a reasonable option at this point. Here is a link to instructions for doing so, if you need it:
