well you might wanna update to service pack 2 it offers more security and at a quick glance do you really want weather bug i find it quite trouble some

I wouldn't recommend getting SP2 until after you've got your system clean. You can find more info on SP2 here:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread10031.html

Before you fix anything with HJT, you should put it in it's own folder. Right-click on your desktop, select New Folder, name it (something like HJT), and then drag the HijackThis.exe on your desktop into that folder.

Your log looks rather skimpy, was it done while in Safe Mode? If so, post your next one from Normal Mode (after you've put HJT in it's own folder).

OK thanks, and yes it was in safe mode, and I also had some things disabled from startup items and services... Should all of those be checked when I run it as well?

It would be best if everything were enabled until we get your system clean.

Ok here's the log with all services and startup items not in safe mode. Thanks alot for your help dlh.

This may be a problem, do you have any idea what it is? C:\PROGRA~1\DIGNIT~1\SPAMAL~1\spmalarm.exe
I couldn't find any info on this one either -- O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [vF3O33P] mmupapi.exe If you don't know what it is, do a search for 'mmupapi.exe' and see where it's located.
Is 'SnagIt' a program you installed?
Is this a service you use? O23 - Service: Security Agent - Unknown - C:\WINDOWS\system32\scagent.exe (file missing)

Reboot normally, close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log along with whatever answers you have to the questions asked.

**Merry Christmas!**

Thank you so much for your help!!, and yes Snag it and Spam Alarm I am aware of and did put on the computer. I am going to follow all your instructions now...

Ok followed all of the instructions, and I am just wondering why alot of the things are still in my startup item's folder and I do not know how to get rid of em. Oh btw Partypoker is something I use everyday so I did not delete any of that.

I suggest the following to clean up your computer .

Please delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself) like for example
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
C:\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\
Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select delete all offline content.

Do a virus scan here.
If you get report of files that can’t be cleaned / deleted please write down the filenames and locations and post that in your reply.

Then please do this since it’s better to use automated tools to get rid of the bad stuff use these 2 programs first before doing the final cleaning with HJT

First use Spybot S&D. (Version 1.3)
Spybot
Unzip, and update. Install the updates and run. Delete all that it marks in red.
Reboot

Then it’s time for Ad-Aware
Ad-Aware
Install and update by using the globe icon. Restart your computer and run Ad-Aware.
Press scan now and select drives and/or partitions to be scanned. When done select all and click next. Remove all checked items and then reboot your computer.

Please go to this page and read the instructions for how to configure Spybot S&D & Ad-Aware
How To Setup Spybot SD and Ad-Aware

Then post a new HJT log as a reply to this topic.

If you log still has the following after spybot and ad-aware do the following ,

Have Hijack This fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.

How to start computer in safe mode

reboot computer and post a new log

Wow! That log sure looks a lot better now!

Sorry about the PartyPoker thing... Guess I should have asked first.

The first thing I would try to get the stuff out of your Startup list is to go to Start, Programs, Startup. Then go to each one that shows up, right-click on it and select Delete. If that doesn't work, let us know.

*I don't know how I missed the AutoUpdater thing, I remember looking it up and finding out it was bad. Good thing someone's following up :).*

Guys thanks for all the help so far, but after updating to SP2 and doing all the critical sec updates I seem to have noticed I can no longer open Outlook express... I am not sure if it was the updates or something I screwed up with Hijackthis as I do not open Outlook too often. The error message I get is this "outlook express could not be started. The application was unable to open the OE message store. Your computer may be out of memory or the disk is full. Contact MS support for further assistance" follow by this "Outlook express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized Outlook express may not be installed correctly." I know that my HD is not full etc. because I have several GB avail.

Thanks again for all the help, Jon

I am now thinking more along the lines of it having to be a registry key I deleted with Hijack this.... If anyone thinks I can solve this without reinstalling the OS please let me know.

Btw I found this doing a google search which is exactly the message's I get...

I'm unable to start Outlook Express. I'm using Windows 2000 and IE 6.0. I don't know what version of OE I have but assume it's 6.0, too.

When I go to start OE I get the error message:

"Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to open the Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. Contact Microsoft support for further assistance. (0x80040154,2)."

Then I get the message:

"Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express may not be installed correctly."

After reading some previous email on this website, I believe I caused the problem by accidently deleting a Registry key. I found this key {2CF0B992-5EEB-4143-99C0-5297EF71F444} but don't know where it came from or how to replace it.

Where did you find it and why do you think you deleted it? I don't see it listed in any of your HJT logs. :confused:
