Start-up & Shut Down Problems After Trojan Detected & Cleaned...
Jan 27, 2005
My first post here, hope to get some help...my wife is ready to kill me (and vice versa) as she is accusing me of screwing up a month old Dell Dimension 8400.
I'm at work right now writing this so I can't do anything until I get home tonight. Here's the problem...
I tried downloading a cheat for yahoo pool, when McAfee and Webroot Spysweeper picked up a host of adaware and junk trying to get installed I immediately stopped installing (but of course, some got through). After a few minutes the PC decided to shut down on it's own, without me doing anything. I restarted and the same thing happened almost immediately after start up, it shut down on it's own. I restarted using F8 and used the "restart with latest settings that worked" command. Got on and was able to run McAfee and some other programs where a trojan was found and removed. Everything worked fine after and the computer had been on for 5 or 6 days since then.

I had a trojan Virus in the computer. I think that I got rid of it, but I am not sure could anyone that can read a log please tell me if there is anything else left in the computer. The computer now doesn't stay on-line it disconnects itself. I called the company that provides me with my internet service, and they said that I need a filter for the phone line. The person told me that, that will take care of the problem of the internet disconnecting. I think that it could be the virus I had in the computer. I wasn't able to get on-line for at least a week, I had gone and checked the disk for errors and finally the anti-virus program was able to find the virus's.

I would be very grateful for some of your input. We have recently suffered from several Trojan viruses and an attempt to install Sony Ericsson's phone suite. I have hopefully got rid of both. Though I still get the occasional crash of win23 services. My AVG is up to date and has not found any more viruses and there is no detected spy ware. However as a result the task bar, start menu and IE have all gone Grey.

My Uncle just got a Dell computer and installed a dsl modem, and after a couple of days the computer was running super slow, and a popup appeared a few minutes after startup with a 60 second timer saying that windows was going to shut down. I thought that it was Spyware/adware so I installed and ran Adaware, and I deleted over 380 infected files, and ran AVG 7 virus scan and detected trojan viruses. I saw that his internet security settings were set at the minimum level and the firewall was disabled, so I enabled the firewall and raised the bars on the security levels, but there's still a major problem.

My laptop is a little over a year old, and has gradually gotten slower to both start up and shutdown. I have hardly anything running at start up, and the disk has been defraged. On the other hand, my 5+ year old desktop boots up in LESS than half the time, running less RAM and a slower processor. The only difference is that the desktop was reformatted a few months ago, but it has not slowed down.Here it is Toshiba Satellite A-105 1.7 Dual Core 1Ghz RAM XP SP2 Start up Items:AVG Anti virus Zone Alarm Firewall Toshiba Hot keys (The Fn Function keys) Toshiba Touch pad (Mouse)Intel WirelessI've done several scans and there are no viruses or spy ware. I have also used both Crap Cleaner and Norton Utilities (No, Norton is NOT installed and found no registry issues. I did run Hijack This, and here's the log.

My computer works really well, the only problem is, when I start or shutdown my computer, it's very very slow. It's appears to be frozen for a minute or so and then start or shutdown.It does start or shutdown properly but it's slow. It can take up to 2 - 3 minutes to either start or shutdown.I noticed that when I start my computer, I see the Windows Update yellow shield appear near the clock and then goes away. I'm not sure if it's related but thought I would let you know.

I'm no pro regarding computerstuff what so ever, but I know my ways aroudn at least. But the other day I got a whole bunch of abd viruses I think..from where I have no clue. I run Nod32 and it probably missed this ones. So anyway, I noticed I had some kind bad stuff called Vundo trojan. is that correct? So, I managed to remove (I think) that with Spyware doctor.BUT, the problems I had stared before i removed it. I have one account, my own, with admin. rights. BUT the "Shut off" button is missing in my startmenu and I cant start the Windows Task manager, because it has ben blocked by the..administrator? BUT, thats me? So, how can this be?It's really annoying and I have noo clue what so ever on what to do here. I tried to create a new account, and that worked fine. But that would mean alot of extra work with mailprograms and stuff.

I get the mj view error code at start up.I also cannot shut down my computer(i believe the 2 are related) I have to do it manually so I just hibernate.Information was given to me that it could be the ebates moneymaker program installed.I checked for that and do not have it but i do have i give shopping window.Well, I went to remove this program and i cannot.The error code comes back everytime i click "remove"I also successfully removed 2 other unwanted programs so it seems that this program could be the problem.How can I get rid of the error message and this program? Do I have to contact the site itself?I have contacted H&P(4 days worth of computer emails)and they had me all over this computer with no results.

i think im postin in the right place. I have a system that i built about a month ago that keeps crashing and i dont know why. It runs XP. when i start the computer, it will either shut down after the windows loading screen, shut down after the motherboard maker screen, or shut down as soon as i power up. I buit it, but this is the first time ive done anything like this before, and i dont know much about the workings of the insides yet.

Some days before I installed Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 for Windows XP-SP2. But I didnt feel secure with the changes and decided to uninstall it. But a problem comes. When I want to close the P C, I do as always: Click Start, Close, Shut Down. But, the P C instead of closing restarts. My Windows XP-SP2 is installed on Portuguese.

My sister did a Spybot scan and it apparently cleaned more than it should. After she did the "Fix", the computer crashed. When she tried to reboot, now all she gets is "Error loading operating system".We tried to reboot from the disk, and we get "searching from floppy, files not found""searching from cd-rom OK""boot from cd-rom, press any key", but when we press any key, nothing happens.Is there any other way to get this to boot from the disk so we can do a restore or file repair? I tried F8, but that didn't work either

I am selling with the OS installed (Win XP-Pro), what can I do to ensure that there will be no information at all left on the machine. I used it for MSN, Internet banking, browsing all that stuff, and I'm a little nervous that there will be information accesable by the buyer. I would just do a wipe and reinstall, however, I do not have the OS disc anymore, So I want to clean it up as much as possible. People tell me that I have to get the registry cleaned out. What I am asking is for any tips to ensure a clean machine and registry.

I have windows xp, i have avg antivirus and have run the tests in pc pitstop and done a regular search thru windows for the Trojan-Dropper.VBS.Inor.cz but can't locate it on my pc. My IE browser freezes everytime i go to a particular site and yet when i ask if anyone else has trouble with that site only a very few people say yes. The solution they give me is to download Mozilla and use it for that site. That doesn't protect me from the trojan completely infecting me does it? Can anyone tell me how to delete this trojan?

We just finished cleaning NAIL.EXE off the machine, and are now attempting to fix as weird login issue. Whereby it will STALL in both safe and normal mode BEFORE the user selection. It requires a reboot, and eventually the user selection will come up after rebooting enough times.

I have an infection that I haven't been able to rid on my own. I am receiving popups on the lower right claiming to be from the Windows Security Center with titles like:
Alert! You are receiving Spyware!
Warning! Your security and privacy are at risk!
The window has the name "Project1" in the task manager, and it has overridden my ability to end processes in the task manager.

I started having problems with Internet Explorer, it would crash very frequently and I would have to clear temp files and cookies for it to work properly. I posted a HJT log and was advised to update to SP2 (whoops, only had broadband 3 weeks so I didn't know
I also started using Firefox and it worked fine where IE crashed out. I think i'll stick with it.
Now I have problems with my connection, IE and Firefox often time out and take 20seconds or so to load a new page. My dads laptop on the same wireless connection works fine (I have PC with wireless card on BT 2meg co

I'm having problems with XP. The bootup always takes around 5-10 minutes. I've virus scanned and defragged a number of times. My cousin cleaned my registry. The system runs slow when I have AIM and iTunes running. Whenever I minimize a window, the music will play extremely slow...like it burps or something. The CPU usage is always high and I don't know what's eating up the memory. Is reformatting the only answer?

I'm running a Hewlett Packard a600y with 2.6 Celeron Processor and a gig of ram. I've run Spybot and Adaware, both found spyware and deleted it, but I'm still having problems with running slow, and even cheap little dinky games are locking it up. If you post a link to hijack this I'll run it and post a log, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

I used Regseeker *sigh* and now my slave drive is not detected. It does not show up in the device manager list. What may I have removed to cause this? I think Regseeker backed up the registry files I deleted. I tried to restore the files and received an error...
If any more details are needed let me know.
