Download an install a trial copy of Registry Crawler at http://www.4dev.com/regc/index.htm and look for and remove any nocontrolpanel entries.

I must say you are a far braver person than me to autoload a P2P. *;-)

Post back a new HJT log if you get Control Panel back (or not) and I'll have more suggestions.

Cheers,

Texruss

Thank you texruss, I will try this when I am next at my laptop, I've been away for a few days without it. Are there any major programs I should remove as well or just do what you've mentioned at the moment?

Thanks, charlie.

how do i use registry caller and how do i know which are nocontrol panel entries?

thanks, charlie.

I have been engaged in other issues...sorry for the delay.

I have another suggestion for Control Panel, but it may only be the tip of the iceberg as far as Registry infiltration by Trojan. Kellys tweak 256 may help if the Trojan has disabled Control Panel (or it may just run over it again).

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Based on your suspicions of Trojans and your Control Panel issues I suggest you do some additional scanning by your AVG 8, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware 2007:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2471.html
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

Update all three, but run them in Safe Mode:

For most versions of Windows it is easy to enter Safe Mode by repeatedly tapping the F8 key while restarting your computer and selecting the Safe Mode option at the Boot Menu screen. For more info and other ways to enable a Safe Mode boot for each version of Windows see this page.


http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm

I know these are old school apps and there are a score of single-fix anti-spyware apps for specific infections, but those companies haven't exactly been idle while the cybercriminals have been churning out new stuff. These apps may also restore your Control Panel issues so you may hold off on Kelly's tweak until after you see if they can fix the issues. Both scan and remove spyware entries in the Registry which can be your issue.

Before going to Safe Mode turn off System Restore so you can get rid of anything hiding there:

http://www.pchell.com/virus/systemrestore.shtml

We'll turn it back on after you are all clear.

Run Spybot first, then Ad-Aware, and last AVG. Fix all they find.


Reboot to normal mode Windows and download and run CCleaner:

http://www.juliatexas.com/tutorials/ccleaner.htm

I normally leave Cookies unchecked for deletion, but lately many of the new Trojans have been putting lots of entries in there, so if you find Trojans in Spybot or Ad-Aware I'd kill the Cookies until you are all clear.

Last...reboot to regular mode and run an online scan. Pandas's is pretty slow (50 minutes probably) and it misses things (especially infected cookies), but should give a general indication of where you're at.

http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan/index/

Post back your results and let me know how it went. If you still had Trojans detected by Panda then I'll have you run another diagnostic tool to see what are your next options.

Cheers,

Texruss

hi there, thanks for your help texruss. i did everything you said apart from turning off system restore etc because as before mentioned i can't access any items in control panel, or go to properties if i right click my computer.

i get the error message: windows cannot find file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe'

here is my hijack log wich i just did, hope you can help!0)
