Per request, starting a new thread.

The Microsoft Malicious Software on-line tool found Wind32/Renos and seems to have removed the self-install program so I don't get the annoying pop-up balloon, but I can't access virus related websites nor can I run ir in most cases even install any of the suggested tools like HiJackThis, ComboFix, SpyBot or Registry Mechanic. I also can't create a restore point. I've tried running with minimal services and no start-up items with the same results.
I re-ran AdAware2008 and this time it found the trojan and I deleted it but I still have problems. AdAware could not create a system restore point. On one thread I saw WinSockFix so tried that but that made the browsing worse so I don't have any network connectivity now so that was probably a mistake.
Pretty hosed at this point so suggestions are welcome.

Here are the programs you should NOT run at the moment; ComboFix, Registry Mechanic. (we rarely IF EVER recommend the use of registry fixers or cleaners, they can do more damage than they are worth) The registry is part of the computer that it is best to steer clear of unless you know absolutely, without a doubt, what you are doing.
ComboFix is also a program which NEVER should be run without being directed to do so by the helper you are working with as it is a very powerful program and is used for very specific reasons, NOT for all infections and most definitely NOT for general clean up.

As you have said, WinSockFix was a mistake. This too is a tool recommended for only specific problems and should not be run unless directed to do so.

These are the reasons we use specific steps to begin cleaning. Experimentation with various programs can lead to problems like you are having if the incorrect programs are run.
What operating system are you running? Do you have restore disks that came with the computer?
You say you have tried running with minimal start ups, did you do this by running in Safe Mode or did you just disable items via msconfig? If that was what you did then turn everything back on.

AdAware could not create a system restore point

Unless this is a new feature I don't believe it does this.
Do you have access to another computer? If so you could download MBA-M to that computer, save to a disk and bring it to this computer. You could also do the same with HiJackThis.

Appreciate the advice and did all the cleaning that is recommended by this site, deleting temp files, etc. I was able to get Spybot to run in a limited form and it did not find anything so I think I'm clean, just damaged. I won't run ComboFix. I did run netsh winsock reset catalog and that seems to have gotten me general Internet access again.
I'm running XP Home Edition on A Dell Latitdue D600. If I have to I can rebuild this machine from scratch without losing anything vital, but I'd rather not.
I have run in safe mode and with 0 startup applications. I don't know that AdAware offered to do a 'system' restore point but it said it could create a restore point, and that option did not work.
One suggestion the Spybot folks had was to rename HijackThis and that allowed it to run so I'm creating a scan and log right now.
Another effect I have is the inability to access certain websites, such as Symantec and McAfee. On a whim I searched the registry for "McAfee" since I never installed any of their software and found a bunch of items under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Security Center\Monitoring that list 16 antivirus programs such as AhnLabAntiVirus, McAfeeFireWall. etc. There is a single key called "DisableMonitoring" with a value of 1. Although I haven't changed it yet (I do have a registry backup though) I'm, guessing this was created by the virus. I figure somewhere there has to be a list of sites that can't be accessed, since that's a common thing corporations do to block access.

HijackThis log

One thing I noticed:
O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\nwprovau.dll

This is a legal file it is Client Service for NetWare

Run HJT again and place check marks next to the following entries;

R3 - URLSearchHook: Freecorder Toolbar - {1392b8d2-5c05-419f-a8f6-b9f15a596612} - C:\Program Files\Freecorder\tbFre1.dll

These items are flagged for the following reason:

Freecorder Toolbar - a Conduit/EffectiveBrand "Free Community" toolbar - modifies the default IE SearchHook. Some Conduit toolbars are reputed to have a certain adware/trackware functionality.

Once check marks are placed click the Fix Checked button.
Exit HJT.
Reboot and run a new HJT scan and post back with that log.

I had installed Freecorder so I know what it is, but no problem deleting it. This did not help with web site access issues.

I did notice some things in the event viewer from the time of the infection.

On SpyBot's suggestion I downloaded and tried to install the Sophos Anit-Rootkit. I couldn't copy it or execute it until I renamed it. Once I did, it scanned for a short while then came up with a warning "Error reading list of profiles. You man not have access rights to the whole registry." I do have admin rights with my account so I think this is an effect of the trojan. It did not detect and hidden files or processes. I am still unable to access websites owned by antivirus companies.

On SpyBot's suggestion

Does this mean you have this thread running at two forums? If this is the case then I would suggest that you continue there. Following suggestions from two different forums at the same time is a bad idea. You are better off to stick with one place...since neither of us knows what the other is suggesting and damage could be done to the computer.
