Once I can get an idea of what a clear log looks like I know I can get on top of these problems. If there is anything I can do to help you let me know. I've been writer for a number of years and would be more than glad to return the favor.

Your pc is clean. Also, do you both use dial-up or do you have a better connection such as DSL or Cable?

Here's the log of your daughter's HijackThis.

Disable System Restore (My Computer, right click and choose Properties, System Restore tab, check off "Turn off System Restore". When you reboot, boot her computer into Safe Mode by pressing F8 at the Windows XP screen.

I recommend you get Avast Anti-Virus if you do not have an actively running virus scanner on her computer. You can click here to download Avast.

We both us a dail up connection which is all that is available where we live.

The update after doing the fixes with HijackThis is as follows for my daughter's computer. The
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe,xpjava.exe keeps coming back after I try and fix it. Doesn't that matter? I'm downloading the other program you suggested also. Thanks

Aside from that F2 entry (seems a tad strange, but may be okay), the system looks clean.

I would suggest you get XP Service Pack 2. You can order it on CD FREE from here

Thanks you really got stuff straightened out. My daughter’s computer is running on line again and I finally got my computer back again all to myself. I do have one other problem I keep getting pop-ups about trying to sell me spyware. Sometimes a yellow triangle in my system tray with an explanation mark blinking. I’ve run all the suggested anti-spyware programs and they don’t seem to remove this pop-up. Could you suggest a good pop-up blocker I could use? Thank you for your help you been very kind.

Sincerely,
Merlyn

What browser does it occur with?

Have you tried my Anti-Malware package? If not you can get it here.

I am presently downloading your Anit-Malware package.

Though I've let my daughter use my computer and now I have things I can not get rid of by Hijackthis this and it keeps coming up. Please advise. I did check off the other items as safe so they wouldn't keep showing up on HijackThis. Was that wise?

Lasted log as follows:

Disable System Restore (My Computer, right click and choose Properties, System Restore tab, check off "Turn off System Restore". When you reboot, boot her computer into Safe Mode by pressing F8 at the Windows XP screen.

In Safe Mode, kill off these tasks if they exist:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\savedump.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\pctspk.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msole32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\popuper.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\shnlog.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\intmonp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\intmon.exe

-------------------------------------------------------

Run CWShredder two to four times.

Make sure to get the latest updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Microsoft-AntiSpyware (If you don't have it, I can provide the link).

Let them scan and check for spyware as well with the latest definition files.

-------------------------------------------------------

Click on Start > Run... > type CMD

This opens a command prompt. Now, type the following: cd C:\Windows\System32

Next, type the following: del hp704F.tmp

-------------------------------------------------------

Now run HijackThis and remove the following entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.quicknavi...earch.php?qq=%1

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\hp704F.tmp

Now you should be able to safely reboot.

Didn't work. I tried what you suggested three times and the only thing that changed was the BHo temp file changed after I booted up again everything else came back. What else should I try?

Didn't work.  I tried what you suggested three times and the only thing that changed was the BHo temp file changed after I booted up again everything else came back.  What else should I try?

Was System Restore disabled and did you boot into Safe Mode?

I did everything that you said and took the time to study what you advised. I realize that this computer mess is getting out of hand. I realize through experience that it is hard to find experts in many fields because we all live in world mandated by self-evaluating reasoning, instead of careful thinkers open to the fact that no one knows everything. I want to thank you for displaying your careful consideration in giving advice. I tried to do some research and read the following sites for advice yet hesitated about the advice because issues such as these should be considered with caution because one may only remove part of the problem.

Today Avast just downloaded the latest update and detected this trojan, Win32:puper-E. It removed it from back up files in Hijack and found five files, with a total of 14 files in other temp files the BHO created. It’s most differently a worm capable of duplicating itself. Any effort to try and remove single files is not going to remove all of them. It is far too complex problem to do without the help of a program designed to do the searching.

I would like to thank you for giving sound advice in having faith in programs designed to fix these types of problems.

I still have problems with something that is causing pop-ups. Thank you again for careful consideration in the advice you have given. My lasted log is as follows:

The processes running still have trojans.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\msole32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\popuper.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\intmonp.exe

It's Trojan/Fakespy-B and the removal instructions are here.

Very impressive job to both you merlynh and Tarun!

Now remove this:
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Might as well remove:...
O23 - Service: avast! Mail Scanner - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe" /service (file missing)
O23 - Service: avast! Web Scanner - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe" /service (file missing)

...since those two files are missing anyway.

To be certain, and also to clean up little remnants, I suggest downloading and playing with the free, excellent, F-Prot for DOS from here:...
http://files.f-prot..../dos/f-prot.zip
...and then unzipping these two files in the same place you unzip f-prot.zip, and overwrite all:...
http://updates.f-pro...randomly?fp-def
http://updates.f-pro...ndomly?macrdef2
(Tarun can explain how to run it if you have issues... and oh yeah it works well within Windows - see f-prot.com for details or read the included .TXT files)
