are you stll getting that winlogon error? What is the exact message?
Wow, awesome directions. Again, once I get home from work I will do exactly as you say and reply to this post. Thanks again for all the help Mr_JAk
Well, things didn't go as smooth last night. I believe I am running a free version of AVG Anti-Spyware and all the options are not available to me. I was not able to change AVG to inactive, although I believe it was inactive, since the icon in the bottom right tray was black and white vs. in color.
Ran HijackThis with no problem and checked all the entries you stated.
Went to Safe Mode.
I was UNABLE to delete C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\instcat.dll, error message came up that said Access is denied. (although my AVG scan identified it as a threat)
Still in Safe Mode, started AVG. The window AVG is in takes up my entire screen and some of the words and radio buttons I cannot see, they are outside my viewing area, so I was unable to verify that all boxes were checked under How To Scan and Possibly unwanted software. Is there a way to change this???
Either way I ran the scan all night and it found around 8 items. Also, I couldnt find the Apply all Actions or the Save Report buttons. Not sure if that was because of the free version of AVG or because I just couldnt see them.
I left for work with this screen up on my computer (turned the monitor off), so if there is a way to adjust the window size, let me know, and I will continue where I left off.
Hi again
Sorry for the delay...
The windows size - when on AVG screen, try pressing ALT + SPACEBAR buttons at the same time and a menu should appear. You should be able to move the windows so that you can see the buttons...If it doesn't work, you may run the scan in safe mode.
I did run the scan in safe mode. Did you mean in normal mode?
I will try the Alt + spacebar.
Yes I meant that run the scan in normal mode if it doesn't work in safe mode...
Sorry
OK, much progress was made tonight (the Alt + space bar trick worked!!)
Finished running the AVG scan, saved the log file, see below.
Ran a spybot scan and SUCCESFULLY removed 2 issues, 1 was smitfraud!
Ran a HijackThis and saved log file, see below...
Again, thanks for the help!!
