Patsy, please don't create more then one topic. It waste alot of time for our helpers. I will remove this post. Please refer to your log here
http://www.malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5016

Patsy,
Welcome to MWR.

I'll be helping you with your log.
Be back shortly.

Patsy,

Is your Internet provided by Electric Lightwave?
Does your PC have a floppy drive?
Nothing in your log stands out as a potential villain, but that doesn't mean there's nothing there.

You may want to print this out or save it to a Notepad file on your desktop, as you will not have Internet access to see this during the parts that are in Safe mode.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Let's do a hard drive check first.
Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.
When the black DOS window appears, type chkdsk c:
When it finishes the 3-stage scan, notice if it finds any bad files or sectors.
If it finds anything defective, write down what it is, and include it in your reply.
Click the window "X" to exit the command window.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Download F-Secure's trial Blacklight program :
http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml
Print out the help page for guidance.
Ok the license.
Check scan through Windows Explorer
Click Scan
When animated graphics disappears, click Next
Note any files and their locations that appear in the output summary.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please download, install, and update the free trial version of Ewido trojan scanner: from here : http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
There is an unofficial set of instructions in pdf format here : http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/Tutorials/ewidoQuickGuide.pdf
* Install ewido security suite
* When installing, under "Additional Options", Uncheck "Install background guard" and Uncheck "Install scan via context menu".
* Launch ewido, there should now be an icon on your desktop. Double-click it.
* The program will go to its main screen
* On the left hand side of the main screen click Update.
* Then click on Start Update.
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can also use the same download link http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ to manually update ewido.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Start Your Computer in Safe Mode.
Reboot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly as the machine boots, until a menu shows up. Choose Safe Mode from the list.
In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Close all open windows/programs/folders. Have Nothing else open while ewido performs its scan!.
It's extremely important not to open any windows while the scan is in progress.
Now Run Ewido
* Click on scanner
* Click on Settings
* Under "How to scan" all boxes should be selected
* Under "Possibly unwanted software" all boxes should be selected
* Under "What to scan" select scan every file
* Click OK
* Click on Complete system scan
* Let the program scan the machine
* If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification.
* Let it fix whatever it finds
Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report.
* Click Save report
* Save the report to your desktop
* Exit ewido
When you compose your reply, paste the contents of the report into it..

So, to summarize, pls answer about the ISP, the floppy drive, include any defects found by chkdsk, anything found by F-Secure's Blacklight, and the entire Ewido report.

Askey,

Thank you so much for helping me. I think I was having withdrawal symptoms from not being able to play on my computer.

My server is EV1.net (Everyone Internet).
I do have a floppy drive... but haven't used it in quite a while.

scroll down the page to Download - Pre-Compiled Memtest86 v3.2 installable from Windows and DOS. Click to get the download.
Save the memt32.zip file to a folder on your PC.

Then find the memt32.zip file and unzip it. It will produce 4 files. Insert a floppy into the floppy drive and double-click install.bat.
This will write a floppy that appears to be blank, but will actually boot your machine and test RAM.

Leave the floppy in the machine and reboot.
If your PC will boot from the floppy, you will see the MemTest screen.
( If your machine won't boot from the floppy, you will have to change the BIOS boot sequence so it will. I will generate some general instructions if you need them).
Let it run the Memory test completely, at least through test sequence #4. It may take a while. The longer you run it, the more thorough the test. Note whether it finds any errors.
You hit Esc and remove the floppy to exit.

Have run into a snag right off the bat.

I tell it Yes, to check on restart. After the programs checks the /F drive, the findings are so fast that I can't even read the first line.

Am I doing something wrong?

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>chkdsk c:/F
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Patsy,
There's nothing wrong.
Yes, tell it to schedule to check the volume the next time the system starts.
That's because it can't do C: drive repairs while Windows is running, so it will do it first, during bootup.

After windows starts again you can run chkdsk c: without the /F and you will be able to tell if everything is now OK.

I should have warned you about that query. Sorry.
askey127

OK Askey. Now I understand the F says to fix C. I ran the c fix twice, and the printout still says something is wrong with file system.

I'm going to do the other steps now.

Thanks again.

Well, more trouble... have fooled with it most of the day. I made the mem floppy, but machine won't boot. Says to remove and strike any key...

Please send me the directions to change the BIOS boot sequence.

Patsy,

If it says remove and strike a key, then the boot sequence is OK.
It's the Memtest floppy disk that's NG.

With windows explorer, go to the folder that has install.bat, rawrite.exe and memtest.bin files.

Doubleclick install.bat.
It probably asks what is the drive letter for the floppy.(Can't quite remember) It may not want a colon after the letter.
edit - just type a with no colon. If your antivirus asks if it's OK to run a script, say Yes.
When you tell it, it should write to the floppy drive. Check for the light to come on if there is one.
askey

Well, it's giving me a whipping. I redid the floppy disk.

Now, when I doubleclick"install" (mine doesn't have .bin on it), a little dos window asks me where to save it. I tell it "a." Then a little window opens at bottom of page and tells me a program is trying to run a script. I say OK, that's good.

Then I look and see the "a" drive winking and blinking at me like it's doing a good thing. So when the winking quits, I go to "start" and shut the machine down and tell it to restart. I notice it's very slow to start back up... but after a while my blue microsoft screen comes back on, and at this point I click on my account (my daughter has an account on my computer too) so that I can get back into my part of the computer. No sign of any mem test.

I have a whole box of little floppies, but they are old. When I look at them on computer, they seem to be empty; but when I try to copy files to them, a window opens and asks if I want to reformat them. I say yes and wait. Then the window tells me it can't finish reformatting them.

I'll go in the morning and get new floppies. Looks like one of these would be good enough to copy something/anything on to.... but no. Makes me think something wrong with the floppy drive.

Patsy,
I wanted to get the RAM test to be sure, but it looks like that's not in the cards.
I have been pretty certain that your PC problems are related to hardware, either the motherboard or Hard drive. My opinion, based on the pieces of information we have gathered, is that this is NOT related to malware of any kind.

The persistent errors from chkdsk are usually a symptom of impending hard drive failure or a bad IDE controller on the motherboard. The hard drive with its moving parts is usually the prime suspect rather than the motherboard.

However , in this case there is also a problem with the CD and floppy drives. This shifts the likelihood of a failure point to the motherboard.

My recommendation is that you bring the PC to a service center that can evaluate the system. Most of them have "Burn-in" software that can exercise all hardware parts of the PC and spot any problems. These things are machines after all, and sometimes fail. They can also look at things like the BIOS CMOS battery, and see if the BIOS settings are corrupted.

If there indeed proves to be a motherboard problem needing repair or replacement, the present hard drive may be usable as a primary or added drive.

I am agreeable to continue discussion of this, but I don't think we can expect much further progress based on software alone. We will be here whenever you feel you need help.

askey127

Oh no, I hope it's not the motherboard and the hard drive. I had the motherboard changed out about 2 months ago. The repairman said a power surge burned it. He charged me $200 for motherboard... will probably be too much if it's the hard drive too. Guess it may be time for a new computer.

I thank you for all your expert advice and pray our God will continue to bless this wonderful website.

Patsy

Oh no, I hope it's not the motherboard and the hard drive. I had the motherboard changed out about 2 months ago

Sorry about jumping in here, but did you get a warranty with the Mother Board?
