Hey Dani Web folks !!!
I have a Dell Dimension 3100, SP2 , Windows XP.
This computer has taken over by trogans. I also was missing most of the things on the Start Page, such as My Computer,My Doc., My Pic's, My Music, Control Panel, Search and Run. I think it may be clean but I'm posting a HiJack This log for your viewing. I also need to know how to get the missing things back. If I go into SAFE MODE and go under Admin. account, they are all there. But they are missing in the other 3 accounts on the computer.
Also, it says " VIRUS ALERT ! " in the bottom right corner, next to (to the right of), the clock.Any and all help is MUCH appreciated !!!

Quick follow-up notes for this thread: ’s machine was cleaned of the Smitfraud rogue, which commonly leaves user profiles and the network stack in a damaged state. The remaining symptom — a working cable on other PCs but "limited or no connectivity" on the cleaned box — most often points to a corrupted Winsock/LSP, proxy or hosts-file tampering, a misconfigured TCP/IP stack, or a bad NIC driver/profile.

Safe, ordered checklist to try on the affected PC (create a System Restore point first). From an elevated Command Prompt run these commands, then reboot after the winsock reset:

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

The first two reset Winsock and the TCP/IP stack; the ipconfig sequence refreshes DHCP and DNS. Reboot immediately after the winsock reset.

If the problem persists, check these items next: verify IE -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings and clear any proxy entries (rogues often set a proxy). Inspect the hosts file at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for unexpected entries. In Device Manager uninstall the NIC (choose to remove driver if present) and reinstall the latest driver from the vendor. Test connectivity from Safe Mode with Networking to see whether a leftover firewall/service is blocking traffic. Basic diagnostics to run: ping the default gateway and ping a public IP (for example 8.8.8.8) to separate gateway/driver issues from DNS problems.

When continuing in the Networking forum, include exact symptom text ("limited or no connectivity"), output of ipconfig /all, route print, the ping results to gateway and 8.8.8.8, and the NIC make/model + driver version. ’s suggestion to repair the Winsock layer was on the right track; if third-party fixes fail, the built-in netsh resets plus a clean driver reinstall and hosts/proxy check usually resolve the issue.

SOLVED !!!
It was Smitfraud ! It had my computer all messed up. I thought I had run Smitfraud Fix, but I was mistaken. I ran it and it fixed my whole computer. Start page is fixed and the computer runs fine. You can find the "fix" at
http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php
I still want to thank DaniWeb for always being here when we need them !!!!!!
YOU ROCK !!!
I'm closing this thread.

Running option #2 in Smitfraudfix on an uninfected pc will remove the desktop background :).
Tumbleweed, you gotta stop getting infected :D.

Brother Crunchie.... thanks for your consern !
But, this is a different computer that I'm fixing for a lady friend :) . My computer is fine !
The computer had THAT problem before IA got ahold of it. Smitfraud Fix, fixed it. Anyway, I have the computer nice and clean but CAN NOT get this computer to Renew the internet connection. I get a connection but it keeps telling me that ..." It is limited or no connectivity". I have tried 5 - 10 different things that I have found on the net for solutions but none have worked. It was a Bell SOut connection, high speed, but I'm trying to get the computer to work using a LAN connection.......aint happening. It sends "packets but doesn't recieve any. Do I need to start a new thread somewhere else ?
I even put a new Network Card in the computer made by Linksys, that didn't help.

Try this; Download and run Winsockfix from here http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml
Otherwise try a thread in the networking forum :)

Thank you Brother !
I help people, as a hobby, fixing simple:D problems, mostly debugging. Sometimes I have to come to DaniWeb for help. If I'm in the wrong for doing this, please let me know ! I respect you and the folks here at DaniWeb too much to abuse this help !!
I downloaded and tried Winsockfix, and it didn't work.
Thanks again for all your help !!!!!!!!

Come anytime you wish :).
I assume that the Local Area Connection is enabled? :)

Yes Sir. I have it set to "automatically detect settings". I've hit "repair" 10 thousand times it seems. It's set to NOT dial a connection.
I can unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into another computer and get on line in 5 seconds. This computer is stubborn !!! I am starting a new thread in " Networking", as you suggested. Thanks again for your help Brother !!!
