I've been looking via yahoo for sites on PSP modding, and unfortunately I've managed to pickup some viruses and spyware. They are generating many many popups whenever an internet connection is available, I don't even have a browser open and they generate. Please help me fix my labtop and rid it of this spyware filth, here is my logfile:

gave a good starting direction; the situation seen in the original HijackThis report calls for a short, prioritized cleanup workflow that avoids chasing symptoms and preserves recoverable data.

  1. Isolate the machine immediately (unplug Ethernet / turn off Wi‑Fi) to stop further downloads, popups, or lateral spread; preserve the system powered on if forensic memory capture is needed. (See NIST incident‑response containment guidance.)
  2. Boot to Safe Mode (F8 on XP) and disable System Restore before removing infections; restore points can reintroduce cleaned malware. (Microsoft: Safe Mode / System Restore guidance.)
  3. Kill active malware processes first (tools such as RKill are commonly used by removal teams), then run current, reputable on‑demand scanners (update definitions first — run an offline download from a clean PC if necessary). If normal scans fail, create and boot from up‑to‑date rescue media and scan from that environment. (BleepingComputer RKill; ESET SysRescue / bootable rescue tools.)
  4. Use a trusted autostart/startup inspector (Autoruns) to find and disable persistent startup entries, then quarantine/delete flagged files after verification. Reboot only when instructed by the removal tools, and keep logs of each tool run. (Sysinternals Autoruns.)
  5. If infections persist, back up only personal data (documents, pictures — not programs or installers), wipe the disk and do a clean OS install. Given Windows XP is end‑of‑life, a clean reinstall to a supported OS is the safest long‑term fix. (Microsoft: Windows XP end of support.)

Notes and cautions: do not copy whole system images if the goal is quick recovery (images can preserve hidden malware); do not run multiple conflicting “fix” tools at the same time; download removal tools only from the vendor sites linked above or the community removal guides. If the infection looks deep (unknown services, multiple persistent kernel hooks, or continued re‑creation of startup items) a rebuild is the most reliable recovery path.

Hi Dreg, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Please start by following the recommendations and instructions in the links below.

When you get to the end of the third one, follow the instructions in post #5 to clean up the Aurora/Nail infection.

After you've completed all that, post a new log to clean up anything remaining (along with the Ewido log you will create).
