O Blessed Brains Battling Binary Buggar Bears,
After browsing through other threads in this forum, I realized that you might need more info to detect my problems. So even at the risk of bumping my thread lower:
1- Sysguard.exe and Spyware Protect 2009 were the first signposts that I had a problem. They got through AVG 7 which had been protecting me well for 2.5 years. I grew complacent.
2- I upgraded AVG to 7.5. I ran a rootkit scan in Safe Mode, and a coplete scan in regular mode. Both detected and removed some items (Trojan Downloaders) to the Virus Vault.
3- I bought and downloaded Malwarebytes. The installer would not work. I downloaded it to a clean machine and moved it to the infected PC via flash card. It installed, but hung on the last 1%. When I hover the cursor on the links proved in the eMail from Malwarebytes, the info tag shows the sites as: blocked: http etc.
4- After renaming the .exe file, I think got it installed from the desktop folder. The icon appears on the desktop; but it won't start.
5- I tried the same routine with SpyHunter. I tried marking the enigma website as a 'trusted zone' in IE options. It won't start either.
6- I haven't heard back from either software companies regarding my difficulties running their programs. I ordered the BU CD of Malwarebytes to see if it will run when it gets here in 10 days...
7- I downloaded HijackThisINstall to the clean machine and moved it over. It would not start. I downloaded the executable HiJackThis, and was able to scan the log in my first post.
Many thanks,
Joe
