Model: GQ3091
AMD Duron 1.6GHz CPU

I've just completed a fresh install of Win98SE & WinXP Pro (dual boot). Had a few buggers get in some how during the process but I believe I'm clean now. I've got an HJT log from each OS which I'll post separately, here's the one from Windows 98SE:

Looking good to me. As for how the bugs got in, you do know there are a lot of bugs that spread now through your network connection? In other words, you never get asked to install anything, it just happens, only thing required is a connection to the internet.

That could be how you got infected, on a small ISP you'll be scanned within 20 minutes or even less now, on average. On a large ISP, you'll be hit within seconds of connecting. So, you could be infected before you even have a chance to download the latest Windows Updates which could protect you.

I'd suggest a good firewall if you aren't running one now. (Hardware like you get with a router would be preferable, but even Zonealarm's software firewall will provide strong protection, (http://www.zonelabs.com) ).

Take care now. :)

[DuncanIdaho]

Just realized that PCCPFW.EXE is probably a firewall from PC-Cillin, so all told, you should be all set. :o

[dlh6213]

I also have an SMC Barricade router that has a built-in firewall and on the XP partition, the XP firewall, so I think I'm about as protected as I can get. I thought the logs looked okay, just wanted another opinion. Thanks!

[crunchie]

red.clients needs to go.

[dlh6213]

Thanks Crunchie, does it need to be in Safe Mode do you think, or does it matter?

[crunchie]

Normal mode will kill it ok :).
