Do I have a problem?

106 min read

This thread's last reply is from March 23, 2010, 4:17 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Hi,

First install SP3, this may fix the problem...quote from my all clean post:
Update your Windows XP to Service Pack 3!
It is CRITICAL that you keep your Windows updated. Otherwise you're open to dozens of security holes which WILL cause you to get reinfected.
Visit Windows Update NOW and download Service Pack 3 + ALL critical updates! (Click Start :arrow: All Programs :arrow: Windows Update to launch Windows Update)

Please remember to visit Windows Update REGULARLY. Remember: an unpatched system = a hacker heaven!

Hello...
It has been 2 days since my last post to you.
  • Do you still need help with this problem?
  • Do you need more time?
  • Are you having problems understanding or following my instructions?

Just let me know what's going on otherwise...
After 24 hrs., if you have not replied to this thread... it will be closed!
Andy, I have run all of the suggestions you have made. SP3 has been installed, OTC ran without incident, i have installed comodo and done the online virus checks. Not sure if combofix has been deleted per my report to you about the error code. Have you found out anything about my defrag not working?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi,

I don't think you've let the scan completely.

Let the scan run until the log pops up, not when its automatically saved to the desktop.

Thanks.
i let the scan run and it automatically posted the log to my desktop which is what i posted. But, ran it again and here it is:
