Hi, I have never posted into a forum before, and although I am very good at following step by step instructions I am not naturally techinical minded so forgive me if I am not making any sense. A few days ago my computer taskbar changed back to the old classic grey one, and although at first I thought it was my children messing I soon discovered that I can no longer connect to the internet and also my Mcafee antivirus seems to have been disabled, even though it does state it is on, when I try to disable or run a scan an error message appears. I have a PC Clean up tool as part of my AOL package which I run along with malware antibytes intitially, but found nothing. I would appreiciate any help that you could give me, everything else seems to work ok, I can get in and out of my documents and still see My pictures. I really really dont want to have to re format

I have followed your instructions regarding the intital clean up and have posted the dds log below.

Hi ddevineuk,

A couple things before we take a whack at this:

-- This may be a lengthy process. The holiday season is brutal for getting timely volunteer help in forums for obvious reasons.
Plus, it appears you are across the pond from me, so we'll be working on different schedules. That tends to slow things down.

-- I am assuming you have a means to transfer logs and tools to and from the ill compy since you have posted the DDS.

What I need to know is ALL of the steps you have taken so far to try to clean the machine. Your log shows traces of combofix having been run. Did you run this powerful tool?
Let me know.

-- Also, let's have a look to see if you have been a victim of a popular malware making the rounds:

Please download and run Farbar Service Scanner
-- Check Include All Files and hit scan. It should produce a log. Please post the FSS.txt for me.

Obviously, you will need to use a flash drive to transfer FSS and the resulting logs.

I will try to check back as time permits.

Happy Christmas :)
