Hijackthis log.. I have problems with using google and iexplorer stops working often.

[Manowarz]

Hello guys, im new here and I need help. Recently ive had problems with using not only internet explorer, but also other browsers like firefox etc.. so I think im infected, but ive used countless anti-spyware programs, etc.. I recently found out that in my running processes I had "rundll32.exe" 2 times, so I closed both of them and made using google and internet in general a bit easier. However I still have problems and have to close and open the browser like 5 times to reach a certain website. Please help, here is my Hijackthis log see If u can find anything.

I did exactly what you told me. I downloaded the program and started the scan.
At first it found 43 infections!!, and found things no other program I used could. However it was unable to delete some infections.
Then I restarted and did a second scan. This time it found only 3, and they where deleted without problems.
After that I did a thrid scan and 0 infections where found. This is the log from the third scan (sorry about spanish but its the same thing I believe):

Post new HJT log.

The above plus the log from the first run of MBAM is preferred as it has been known to delete legitimate files.

[Manowarz]

I couldn't get the log from the first run of MBAM, since when I finished the first scan I had to reboot to delete some files and after that I searched and the log was not there (C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
Or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt)
So anyway here is the up-to-date HJT log from now:

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {E0E899AB-F487-11D5-8D29-0050BA6940E3} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {381FFDE8-2394-4f90-B10D-FC6124A40F8C} - (no file)

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Download CCleaner and install, then run it. It will clear out your temp folders.

1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
3. Close when finished.

====

An alternative to Ccleaner is ATF Cleaner.
Download ATF (Atribune Temp File) Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it.

Under Main choose:
Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Cookies
Temporary Internet Files
Prefetch
Java Cache
*The other boxes are optional*
Then click the Empty Selected button.

Firefox:
Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Opera:
Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

====

Use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera, which in my opinion, is better still.

====

Use a firewall. It is an essential part of your computers security. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

====

Install and keep updated,
Spybot S&D.
Run it on a regular basis, following the maker's recommendations.

====

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

====

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.

=====

For XP users.
After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
To flush the XP system Restore Points.

Go to Start | Run and type msconfig and press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

===============

If you have any more problems, post back.
