 | Ouch. That's some pretty nasty infestation you've got there. :( Given the numerous infections you have, HijackThis alone isn't going to do the trick here, so let's go for the full drill: !! Before doing any of the following, you should temporarilly disable XP's System Restore functions. Instructions for doing … |

| | 1. The "googledesktopnetwork1.dll" entries appear to be valid; they seem to be a component of Google's new desktop Search feature. Do not delete them (for the moment at least). Also- "CONTENT.IE5" is a [i]folder[/i] (not a file). The thing to do is to delete the contents of that folder (see …  |
 | You still have virus/trojan/etc. infections. Also- from some reports I've read, the NoAds program you installed seems to be questionable. It appears that it [i]may[/i] have some "hidden nasties" of its own; personally, I would uninstall it. 1. Have HijackThis fix the following: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Win32s USB Drivers] spoolcsv.exe … |
| | Re: Hotmail clutter Not much help, I know, but- What you're seeing improperly interpreted/parsed formatting coding in the message. I [i]doubt[/i] it's virus-related, although I can't say why Hotmail isn't handling it correctly. |
| | OK- you definitely do have "nasties", so here's the entire drill: A) Run a full anti-virus scan, making sure that your anti-virus program is using the most current virus definition updates. B) Download and run Ad Aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy (download links are in my sig below). Follow …  |

| | Re: bridge.dll SpyBot alone isn't going to do the trick for that mess... :eek: 1. I don't see any indication in your log that you're currently running any anti-virus software at all. Get your hands on a good anti-virus program which also detects adware and spyware components. Both Norton (Symantec) and McAffe … |
| | You might also want to look through your system log files to see if more specific error information is listed in them. To view the logs, open Event Viewer in your Administrative Tools folder. Post the full content of any error messages which may seem related to the IE crash. |

Damn Gremlins just won't leave you alone, will they? :mrgreen: Sphyenx is right- using Netscape, Firefox, Opera, etc. instead of Internet Explorer will save you from 90+% of these headaches.

| | That is a "hijacker" infection; you probably have other "unwanted guests" on your computer as well. I'm moving this to our "viruses, spyware, and other nasties" forum now, as that is where we deal with these issues.

| | Re: pop up virus? [QUOTE=billy61788]is there anyone who can help?[/QUOTE] Sure, but first you need to update your version of HijackThis. Version 1.97.7 is old, and the current version (1.92.8) does a deeper/broader scan. Install the new version and post the log it generates. |
| | 1. Does the problem only occur with certain websites, or does it seem to be random? 2. Give us specific details about your network/Internet setup. As it is, we don't have anywhere near enough info in that area to determine if your problem is really the result of malicious infections; … |
 | "O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Kernel loader] kernld32.exe" That's the only entry in the log that bothers me; it can be indicative of an infection by one of the SDBOT variants.

"O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [conscorr] C:\WINDOWS\conscorr.exe" indicates a trojan downloader infection. Use Norton's Live Update feature to get the absolutely most current virus definitions installed, and then run a [i]full[/i] virus scan. If … |

| | 1. If possible, remove the router from the equation; plug the computer directly into the modem via an Ethernet cable.
