Help - Unable to launch IE or FF - unable to run DDS

Well... everything ran fine until this afternoon.

I let the computer go into hybernation for the first time this afternoon and when I woke it up I was locked out of IE...

I ran the following:

TDSKiller
rkill
useRiNiT
WinlOgOn
OTE
Combofix

Rebooted and ran FixMBR during boot

Rebooted again

Now it works again fine.

Maybe I got ahead of myself, but figured running the same processes through that did the job the first time might get things up and running again.

So... Is their any way to "flush" out the hybernation file? Or am I jumping to a conclusion that the virus is "embedded" in the hybernation file?

Anyway.

I'm interested in your take on this.

Thank You

I have never been a fan of Hibernation, have seen it cause all sorts of problems. Take it out of Hibernation and just have it go to sleep

By "sleep" do you mean "standby"?

Thanks

Yes, you can go to the Control Panel under Power Options and reset it. Have it just go to stand by or sleep. You can change it to shut off your monitor after a certain time period also if you wish, but stay away from Hibernation
