Hello, new to this forum but saw all the great help from some very knoleagable people so I decided to sign on.

And of coarse I have some problems to work out as well.

My Netzero mail account will only let me recieve mail and open the mail.I can't delete,forward or report junk at all.

My MSN mail won't even load the new mail, it is just stuck on the mail in the box from a week or so ago.

My web browser ,IE, on some web sites won't let me move on to the next page.

And if I try to edit a post it just sends me back to the opening web page.

I can't down load any web based virus scans, or updates.It just sends me back to the home page, or will time out .


I have done spybot,adware,NortonATV,NortonIS, and even some trojin scanning shareware from the sites recamended on this web site but it still doesn't help.

I am assuming I have a bug of some kind and it is locking me out , how can I get a comprehensive scan with out the bug locking me out?

Is there a way to reload the sections of IE that the bug has locked me out of?

Thanks,Benny

A concise expert summary and practical recovery plan based on this thread (symptoms reported by , diagnostics requested by , cleanup by ):

The combination of partial mail access, pages that freeze or return to a start page, inability to download web-based scanners/updates, and a frozen media session most often points to either browser-level interception (malicious toolbars/BHOs, proxy or hosts/DNS redirection) or partial corruption/loss of Internet Explorer components and related registry keys after malware removal. The log-collection and targeted removals helped; missing IE registry entries explain why Windows Update and some secure sites still fail.

Recommended recovery workflow (least to most disruptive):

  1. Isolate and back up. Disconnect from the network and image or copy personal files to external media before any repair.
  2. Run offline scans. Boot from a trusted rescue environment (antivirus rescue ISO or a Linux live USB) and run full scans to detect rootkits and infected files outside the running Windows instance.
  3. Check local interception points. Inspect the hosts file and DNS/proxy settings for unwanted redirects; reset the network stack (for example, with netsh winsock reset) and flush DNS.
  4. Profile isolation. Create a new local administrator account and test browsing/mail there; if that profile works, migrate data and retire the corrupted profile.
  5. Repair vs reinstall. If in-place repair (repair install) cannot restore missing IE registry keys or core files, plan a clean OS reinstall after a full data backup. Importing registry hives from another machine is hazardous and should be a last resort handled by an experienced technician.

Notes and cautions: always export/backup the registry before edits, prefer vendor-signed rescue media, avoid unknown “one-click” removers, and verify TLS/HTTPS certificates for banking access. After recovery, harden the system: use limited-user accounts for daily browsing, minimize toolbars and plugins, keep AV and OS updated, and maintain regular offline backups.

Hi Benny591, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Since you suspect a 'bug' I've move your thread to the Virus forum (for the time being anyway).

In order for us to see what you have running on your system, I suggest you get the self-extracting version of HijackThis from here (in line 2):
http://www.malwareremoval.com/downloads.html

Then close any open browser windows, 'Scan and Save Log' with hijackthis, copy the log, and paste it here in this thread.

Well here is the log file, I tried every thing I know and all the scans I can do but nothing shows up.

I still can't get MSN mail to work at all, NetZero will let me open mail but do nothing else with it.My favorite web site will load but I can not thumb through the pages.

If I go to Microsoft update page I get a message about "Thank you for your intrest in Microsoft, but site is unavailable"Yet I can get there on another PC I have now setr up to surf on till I get this HP fixed,

Thanks,Benny

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

===============

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Secure your Internet Explorer by going and following the instructions there.

Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, and
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.

Clear your Temp folders.
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

===============

If you have any more problems, post back.

Happy surfing,

crunchie.

Well I still can't do any thing with my mail at Netzero, MSN won't load the mail at all a nd when I go to windows update or any microsoft wib site and try to move around at the site the following messages pop up.


Thank you for your interest in Windows Update

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.

You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update.

This is what comes up in the little search box as to the web site it went too.

?


When in my Netzero mail I can read the mail and close it but I can't go to the next page to retrieve more mail or delete any thing.It just send me back to the first mail page.

When I go to my credit card site (Bank of America) it won't show the green square goto sign so I can't get into my account either.

I plan on calling a local PC repair guy tomorrow as I can't loose any more down time with this problem.

But I do want to fix it my self for next time it happens.

I also don't know how to locate any hidden files that you were refering to so maybe I missed some thing earlier.

P.S. This all seemed to start when my girlfriend left the PC online signed into American Idol site while we went out shopping.I came back to a frozen computor and it had timed out of MSN.

Thanks,Benny

Have you tried downloading a different browser and try to access those accounts?

Try running which will repair IE and run a System File Check.

Well that didn't work either, still won't do any thing and still won't allow access to Win up date.

I'm about to go medeval on it!!!!

It goes into the shop tomorrow, will post what they find out about it.

Thanks for your help.

Benny

Well I got the PC back this past Friday, the shop said that IE was framented real bad.And that some how I lost several reg files that can't be replaced unless I do a complete reinstall of XP.

A few adware and spyware were found and a few viruses that were not activated or not active.

I can't open my user profiles but at least I can access the PC and the web again.

Thanks for the help.

Benny

Before reinstalling, try an in-place upgrade (aka repair installation); instructions can be found here:

IE fragmented?? :confused:

Man I better use spell check,can't spell worth a hoot!

The guy did a repair using the XP disk, but it still would not load the missing regestry keys.

They claim that some one removed them after I used HJT, or some thing I took out per the instruction given was needed for the keys to work???

I don't know PC's well enough to know how some one could have done it by remote, and if they were some thing that I removed per the feed back then I wouldn't know that either.

I think it was a comination of a freeze up and a virus that caused the freeze up.

That is how it got started,I came home after some shopping to find the PC froze up on American Idol site.MSN has timed out and disconected but I had to hard boot to get the PC back.

It works fine for now, if I have any more problems I will have the guy up grade the PC and reformat the drives.

Thanks,Benny
