Can some one please help me ive done everything i know of... When i log onto my windows xp name two boxes immediatly pop up. The first one says:

Windows cannot find 'C:windows\inet20099\winlogon.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, abd then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click seach.

As soon as i press ok(which is the only option) there is another box behind it. Which says:

Could not load or run 'C:\windows\inet20099\winlogon.exe' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry.

(BTW i search my comp and no folder named inet20099 even exists in the windows folder.)

This was probably caused from browsing a website(crackspyder.net). I removed all the viruses and such but these message keeps on popping up.

In addition to this i also have no desktop backround. When i go into properties and into backgrounds it does not let me select a background, only a color. So instead of having a ferrari as a background i have a black screen, but when i shut down my computer, the screen glitches and i see the ferrari background for a second before it shuts down.

I have included my hijack this report. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thankss

I removed all the viruses and such...

But unfortunately, your HijackThis log doesn't seem to agree with you. :eek: (You actually have signs of a few different infections)

Before we begin the actual cleaning process:

C:\DOCUME~1\ANNMAR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.875\HijackThis.exe

The log entry above indicates that you are running HijackThis from within a Temp/Temporary folder. Please do the following:

Create a folder for HJT outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move the HijackThis.exe file to that folder now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if HijackThis (and other data that you care about) is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After taking care of the above issue, please do the following:

1. Open your Add/Remove Programs control panel and uninstall these programs if you find them listed there:

SpyRemover
SideFind


2. Download and install the following (free) utilities:

CCleaner - www.ccleaner.com
Webroot Spy Sweeper (14 day free trial) - http://www.webroot.com/shoppingcart...4011&vcode=DT02
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
ewido Anti-malware (trial version) - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

- Open Spy Sweeper, click on "Options", and then click on "Update Definitions" under the Program Options tab. Do not run a scan yet; just close the program once the update completes.

- Open ewido. In the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". After the update process completes, exit from Ewido.

- Open MS Antispyware beta. Make sure the "AntiSpyware Autoupdater" feature is enabled, and that it has downloaded the most current antispyware updates. Close the program after you've verified this.

- Open your antivirus program and use its online update function to make sure that it has the most current virus definitions installed. Again- don't scan yet, just close the program once it's updated.


3. Run HijackThis again, put a check in boxes to the left of the following log entries, and then click the "Fix Checked" button:

4. Reboot into safe mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up).

a) Open CCleaner.
- Go to Options-> Advanced: Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours"
- Go to Options>CustomFolders>Add Folder>Navigate to these folders (click on bold file once and hit OK) :
* C:\Windows\Temp
* C:\Windows\Prefetch
* C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ (This will delete all your cached internet content including cookies.)
* C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp
* C:\Documents and Settings\<any other user's Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
* C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other user's Profile>\Local Settings\Temp
* C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Cookies
* C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Cookies
Hit OK

- In left pane, scroll down to "Advanced, Custom Folders", put a check in Custom Folders

- Click on Run CCleaner

It may take a while for the program to perform its cleaning, so be patient. Close the program when it has finished.


b) Run your antivirus program, MS Antispyware, and ewido; have the programs fix all malicious items they find.

When ewido finds the first malicious object on your system, it will ask you if it should clean it. When it asks this, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections", then choose clean and click OK.
Save the log file that ewido will create after it finishes scanning; you'll be including that log in your next post here.

c) Run Spy Sweeper.
* Under the Sweep Options tab, select ALL options under 'What to Sweep'.
* Click the "Sweep" icon and then "Start" to begin scanning.
*When the scan completes, click Next to automatically quarantine all detected items.
*Click the Results icon, select Session Log, and then click Save to File. Save the scan results to your desktop and close Spy Sweeper.

d) Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- Search for the following files and delete them if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.htm
C:\WINDOWS\System32\zlnjs.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtyanh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\efsdfgxg.exe

- Delete the following folders entirely if they still exist:

C:\WINDOWS\inet20099
C:\Program Files\SoftwareDoctor


5. Empty your Recycle Bin, reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new log. Also post the logs that ewido and Spy Sweeper generated.
