Ok, apparantly I got suckered into having unprotected internet....

I have yet to load my Norton corp version, and have not updated my Defender. Thats what yoiu get.

I bought Spy No More because Defender found nothing and it did. But I still have no access to Control Panel, Display Properties, Group Policy Editor and so on... here is my log...

Good catch — the symptoms you describe (Control Panel, display and policy tools blocked) plus the scan indicate a rogue or policy‑locking infection rather than a simple adware nuisance. ’s advice to run targeted removal tools in Safe Mode is the right first move. Add a few safe, practical steps before you continue so nothing gets worse.

Immediately isolate the PC: unplug network and disable wireless. If you can, make a full image of the drive or copy critical personal files to external media from a clean environment (boot a Linux Live CD/USB rather than running Windows while infected). Imaging preserves a recoverable state if removal breaks the system. Avoid logging into online accounts from that machine until it’s verified clean.

If tool removal fails or the infection hides itself, use an offline approach: scan the disk from another known‑clean computer (attach it as a secondary drive), run reputable rescue/removal utilities and rootkit checks from bootable rescue media, and use an autorun/startup inspector to identify and disable suspicious services/startup entries. Be cautious editing the registry online — instead, edit offline from rescue media or use a trusted recovery environment. If critical system files are altered or a rootkit is present, a clean reinstall is often the fastest, most reliable option; restore only data that you have scanned thoroughly.

After cleanup, change all passwords from a clean device, update Windows and all software, enable a quality realtime AV and firewall, use a standard (non‑admin) daily account, and secure the router/Wi‑Fi. If you post back updated logs (HijackThis or scan logs) and others can help verify leftovers and next steps. If unsure at any point, professional recovery is safer than guessing with system‑critical edits.

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

==========

Uninstall that version of hijackthis and install the latest version (2.0.2).

==========

Download
SDFix
and save it to your desktop.

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the
following :

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the
    Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.
  • In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract
    All    ,
  • Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to
    start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the script.
  • It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the
    registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool
    will be running and removing files.
  • When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and
    display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load
    your desktop icons.
  • Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the
    contents of the results file Report.txt.

==========

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html) to your desktop.

* At the end, be sure to checkmark the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
* Post the log back here.

Make sure that you restart the computer.

The log can also be found here:
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

Post new HJT log.
