Tayspen, here is that log that I could not get to post correctly last night. I think that the virus is dead, but need your assurrance that this is so. Thanks in advance.

If it is dead, I will mark the other two (2) threads as solved

A short, practical checklist and recovery path based on the HijackThis review and ’s advice. It focuses on verifying the cleanup, hunting for hidden persistence (rootkits, proxy/hosts hijacks), and safe options if Safe Mode will not start.

  • Before making further changes: image the system or back up personal data and export the registry. Any fixes that touch system files or the registry should be reversible.
  • Post-clean verification: save a new HijackThis log, run a full antivirus scan with updated signatures, and run a second-opinion scanner (anti-malware/rootkit tools). Inspect the hosts file at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and check Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings for unexpected proxies.
  • Rootkit and offline checks: if anything looks suspicious or scans disagree, use a trusted offline rescue environment (bootable rescue CD/USB) to scan the disk and inspect system files. Tools that detect kernel-level infections are recommended when a normal scan is inconclusive.
  • Safe Mode troubleshooting: try a different keyboard or PS/2 port so F8 is recognized, use the F8 boot menu options like Last Known Good Configuration and Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure to capture errors, and enable boot logging to produce ntbtlog.txt. If Safe Mode still fails, inspect boot configuration from a rescue environment before performing an in-place repair.
  • System repair path and hardening: if corruption persists, an XP repair install is a valid last step but requires a backup of data and product keys. After cleaning or repairing, update Windows and all security software, remove unused startup programs, and rotate any passwords that may have been exposed.

If suspicious items recur after fixes, the recurrence pattern is often a service, scheduled task, or driver — target those locations during the next inspection. ’s follow-up logs should be compared to the original to confirm no items reappear.

Hi,

Please have HJT fix these.

Click Fix Checked.

The only other things I see is the cookie crusher program, and the wallpaper changer program, which, in your last post you said you trust.

I would say you are clean, but if you just want to triple check you could run an online scan. http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html

Member Avatar for neildech

Great, I will fix those things and do the online scan.

I still have never been able to boot into safe mode, but think that XP may be corrupted somehow. This isn't a major concern as long as the bug is extinct.

Thanks again.

Member Avatar for tayspen

Well, I see no signs of a virus. If you think your Xp install is corrupt, you may want to perform a repair install:

Thanks again. I will mark these threads as solved.
