First you should UNINSTALL that combofix that you have on there now.
Do it this way.
Click START then RUN
# Now type Combofix /u in the run box and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"
Reboot the computer.
Now if it indeed has removed that rootkit, and we really don't know at this point but this seems to have become a common problem with this rootkit, we had another thread going here with the same happenings you are experiencing. When rebooting you might get a message about a missing file, don't worry about that right now. What would be missing would be the combofix.

Once you have uninstalled it then try downloading from HERE
Then try running it.
If you can't download it to your computer do you have another computer where you could access the file, save it and take it to your computer? This will work well also.
If you get it to run post the log, it WILL take awhile to start and finish, just give it time.
If it doesn't run, then Update MBA-M and run it again and let it fix everything found and post that log.

Try once more with Combofix If it tries to reboot, please allow it to do so.
Click on the Save button and then when it asks you where to save it, make sure you save it directly to your Windows Desktop.
Once the download is complete you will see the Combofix on the desktop.

*Close all open Windows including this one.
* Close or disable all running Antivirus, Antispyware, and Firewall programs as they may interfere with the proper running of ComboFix.
Doubleclick the combofix icon on the desktop to run the program.

Windows will issue a prompt asking whether you wish to run the program, click Run
You will then see a Disclaimer screen asking you to agree to the disclaimer. Press the number 1 key to accept the disclaimer.

Now just sit back and allow the program to run

Please note, that once you start ComboFix you should not click anywhere on the ComboFix window as it can cause the program to stall. In fact, when ComboFix is running, do not touch your computer at all and just take a break as it may take a while for it to complete.

When ComboFix has finished running, you will see a screen stating that it is preparing the log report.

P.S. Google does not redirect anymore but my laptop is alot slower than what it use to be before this infection.

Ok, hopefully we can speed this up somewhat. Several things could be causing this.
First of all you need to go into Spybot and TURN OFF TeaTimer. It can interfere with any fixes we may choose to do with HJT.
To do this open the program. Click Mode at the top and choose Advanced.
Then at the bottom click Tools. When the list of tools opens on the left side click the Resident Button. When that opens take the Check Mark OUT of TeaTimer. Close the program and Reboot the computer.

One thing I see is you have at least a portion of Part of Norton AntiVirus 2004 running on the computer, did you use this at one time?

Please download RootKit Revealer from Live.Sysinternals and save it to your desktop.


Start RKR, wait about 10 seconds, click Scan, then leave computer untouched until it completes. An idle machine will minimise the possibility of false positive reports caused by changes to the system during the scan. Background processes may still make intermittent changes, but resulting discrepancies tend to be obvious from their registry or filesystem branch; on a re-scan many may not recur.

Ok Jim, here is what I think. First of all Antivir IS starting as a service on the computer as are portions of AVG8...BAD idea. You absolutely MUST make a decision on which one you are going to use, AVG 8 or Antivir, you just should not run two real tune monitoring av's at the same time.

When you install most anti-virus programs they often automatically install and enable their real-time monitors.
Now you have attempted to turn off Antivir but as you see, one place you didn't turn it off was Services. Services are programs that are loaded automatically by Windows on startup. These services are loaded regardless of whether or not a user logs on to the the computer and tend to be used to handle system wide tasks such as Windows operating system features, antivirus software, or application servers.

Running two or more real-time anti-virus monitors at the same time is very likely to cause a conflict. That conflict could result in error messages, crashes of the anti-virus programs, or other types of failure....one being allowing infection into a computer. I have seen it happen time and time again. They conflict with each other and then miss something coming into the computer.
It is ok to have more than one anti-virus program installed, and it makes sense to run a scan using a different program from time to time, but you must make sure you only have one real-time monitor enabled at a …

Spywareblaster doesn't run in the background so there should be no conflict there at all.
Run a new HJT scan and post it and I will take another look. Part of the slowness still could be because the drive is so full, not sure.

Have you done a defrag lately? Remember lots of files were moved around during this clean up. Have you emptied your temp files lately? Use ATF-Cleaner to get rid of those.

Then try this free defrag program Auslogic Defrag it works quite well and is faster than the built in defrag.
Don't download anything else but that. Try it and see if that helps. It is also free.

If you see any of those look to see if there is an Uninstall listed.
If you don't find them there then look in C:\Program Files\
If you don't see any of them there then those are listings with can be fixed with HJT.
But first see if you can find NoAdware v5.0 in Add/Remove. If you find it Uninstall it.

Did you actually reformat the computer or just install Windows XP "on top of" Windows XP
This error can be caused by any of the following as noted on the Microsoft website;

• If this issue occurs after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after the Setup program is finished, the computer may not have sufficient hard disk space to run Windows.
• If this issue occurs after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after Setup is complete, the computer BIOS may be incompatible with Windows.
• Incompatible video adapter drivers.
• A damaged device driver or system service.
• If the issue is associated with the Win32k.sys file, it may be caused by a third-party remote control program.

To do a reformat and have all these items appear on the computer makes me wonder if either a full reformat/reinstall was done, which should have wiped the drive and taken it back to how it came from the factory or if it was just a repair install which left some nasty items on the computer to leap forward again. OR the programs downloaded were not from the home web sites but shared programs containing infection.

Well, this log presents an entirely different picture than we have seen before.
I notice several things that really should go.
First of all I see Cyber Defender. This program at one time was listed as a Rogue anti-virus/anti-spy process because of it's false positives and the fact when something was found you would be prompted to download another pay for application for removal of these items. In checking recent reviews it still doesn't get good reviews, plus now it also adds the Ask.com site to search the web. Ask.com "may be"ok for searches, I don't use it myself, but by having this added by a program without your permission this is considered foist wear.
Second item I see is the ZoneAlarm SpyBlocker, included with the Zone Alarm Firewall which ALSO adds the Ask.com site, foist wear again.
I also see System Mechanic Popup Blocker with also says it is part of System Mechanic Pro v.6
The pro version of this program also includes an anti-virus program, a firewall some anti-spy portions and a registry cleaner.
EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE NEEDS TO BE UNINSTALLED IMMEDIATELY

Did you place the restrictions shown in this entry? This isn't one of the odd ones, I have seen this before but need to know if YOU did this.

TonyG., you missed the KEY sentence in the instructions for MBA-M

Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

Which I again reiterated in MY instructions yesterday

Be sure to have it Remove everything found.

As you noted, the scan can take a very long time to run, this is why, especially with MBA-M you are instructed to definitely FIX what it finds.

You do NEED to do this ASAP. The longer you wait the more chance of getting more infections on the computer because several of the noted items found by the scan are Trojans
Here is a simple definition of an internet trojan from PC Magazine, note the words that I have bolded.

A program that appears legitimate, but performs some illicit activity when it is run. It may be used to locate password information or make the system more vulnerable to future entry or simply destroy programs or data on the hard disk. A Trojan is similar to a virus, except that it does not replicate itself. It stays in the computer doing its damage or allowing somebody from a remote site to take control of the computer. Trojans often sneak in attached to a free game or other utility.
