WOW!!! NO NO NO!!!!

Having 2 anti-virus software packages running is a big NO NO!!!!

Select one....

Now, just to be sure that it is completely gone.

Can you pls do the following:

1. - Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button) to your desktop.

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure to checkmark the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
* Post the log back here.

Make sure that you restart the computer.

The log can also be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
Or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

2. - Download hijackthis and post the log.

In your reply, post the logs (in this order):

So there is a chance it's still there, huh? Bummer.

I don't have the antivirus engine in PC Spyware activated, but I do have the PC-Cillin antivirus active.

I'll have to do this tomorrow, as I've got a late night at …

I've never used it. Jeez... I already have two anti-virus and spyware programs running. Shouldn't that suffice or do you really think I need a third?

Just to be sure, was this an Isass.exe or an lsass.exe error?

still working (sound of wood knocking in the background) even after the MS updates were downloaded and it rebooted.

I believe it was Isass with an "eye".

When I was researching the internet to see if anyone else had this issue, seems like there has been a recent surge in the error message I received as most of the issues were within the last 3 days or so.

hope my experiences with this nasty helps and thank goodness I had that software already installed on my computer.

Okay - it looks like I'm out of the woods. I actually have PC Tools Spyware Doctor and Trend Micro PCcillin on my machine.

I powered up while hitting f8 over and over until I had the option to click last known configuration. That seemed to get me past the original error message.

Once past the dreaded black screen I immediately ran Spyware Doctor under advanced mode. I noticed that everything was unchecked so my previous scan prior to the the error message wasn't really a scan at all. The virus must have outsmarted the software and effectively turned it "off".

So in "advanced" I checked off every drive (including external hard drive) and had it run the scan. Turns out the computer had more viruses and trojans in her than a 42nd street prostitute! As it was scanning, my computer was getting hit 4x/second with this freakin' Trojan Vundos that was trying to get in - I could actually see it attacking me from the internet! It was insane- Trojan Vundos and Trojan Virtumonde seemed to be the culprits here.

Anyway after it quarantined 40+ instances of this virus - the soft ware had me reboot. Reluctantly I did and after a few hail mary's and our fathers, it booted right up.

I did notice that my Microsoft automatic updates was x'd out and red so as I write this it is downloading more updates than I can ever recall it downloading. The virus …

I was having some odd not enough RAM error messages when trying to save some photos. decided to run a virus check and came up clean. then rebooted and the windows page pops up, then goes black and an error message comes up that says the following:

Isass.exe - Application error referenced
Instruction 0x00401082 referenced memory @0x00000000
the memory could not be written.

Tried both options (ok and ignore/debug) and get a black screen.

I am able to move the mouse, but there's nothing there - the screen stays blank.

Anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed? should I post here or in hardware?

thanks!
