    Default New HJT scan/computer behavior

    Hi Little Eagle,
    Side note: One thing I wanted to make sure I did correctly --
    When i ran ATF cleaner, I did NOT delete Prefetch files or saved Firefox passwords as mentioned on the instructions page.

    Here is what I just did:
    I rebooted in safe mode w/networking and ran an HJT scan.
    I restarted to see if computer would work and if maybe I could get you an HJT scan that way.

    Here is how the computer acts when attempting to start in regular mode (I will explain the best I can but sometimes lack the words):
    - very SLOW startup
    - the desktop, icons and taskbar all show up but the cursor has an hourglass next to it. I can move the cursor over the desktop or taskbar but it still shows the cursor and hourglass icon
    - I waited it out. The taskbar ends up disappearing and will not appear even when scrolling over it. The hourglass disappears and just turns to a plain cursor. I still can move it all over the screen.
    - Once I attempt to click on any folder or item on my desktop, the cursor turns only to an hourglass and hangs. Nothing happens. I can still move the hourglass around.
    - i waited for over 5 minutes before restarting. But I have to restart by pulling the battery and plug. Control, Alt, Delete doesn't work and the power button doesn't work.
    - I restarted in safe mode w/networking and sent you the new HJT log.

    Here it is:

    You have avast! Antivirus you can remove Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 12

    You should remove DING! and EarthLink setup files

    Be sure to keep SunJava, updated it is important to remove older versions as these are the ones with the holes in them.
    Download Newest >>>> http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
    Once installed you can test to see that it is in fact installed >>>>
    Sun Java Test

    Remove these also
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
    Java(TM) 6 Update 2
    Java(TM) 6 Update 3
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1

    These are junkware

    Default Unable to remove

    Hi Little Eagle,
    Thank you for the info. I attempted to uninstall all of the programs you listed. I also attempted to download the new version of Java.
    Unfortunately, since I am in safe mode, I kept getting the message that 'Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode... etc.'
    I can't get the computer running in regular mode so didn't know how to accomplish this.

    Help! :-)

    On a side note, I was wondering if 'Ding!' was that important to remove. I could always reinstall it. But I travel quite a bit and it is for Southwest airlines cheap fares alerts. Can I keep it?

    Also - the Java update - do I remove all existing versions from the machine BEFORE downloading the new version or is it ok to download the newest version and THEN remove the old versions?

    Lastly, other than AOL IM, I don't use any other AOL service. Can I remove everything else AOL without removing AIMs functionality?

    Sorry to bombard you with questions. Just want to make sure i do this right. Thank you once again.
    Karen

    I do not think it matters we just have them remove all of the older versions so they don't forget.

    It's not a trojan or virus so if you think you need it it's your choice.
    Lastly, other than AOL IM, I don't use any other AOL service. Can I remove everything else AOL without removing AIMs functionality?
    Yes I think you can the AIM is separate program.

    Default very good

    HI Little Eagle,

    Ok I will follow those instructions.

    But back to the original problem - I don't know how to do any of the installs or de-installs in safe mode. I can't get the darn computer running in regular mode to make the changes either.

    Can you suggest a way around that? ;-)

    Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

    Then try to reboot with out going in to safe mode.
    We can restore some of these later.

    Default No luck

    Hi Little Eagle,
    I 'fixed' those files as requested. The only one that was not present was:
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SpybotSD TeaTimer] C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe

    -- but you had me remove spybot before, so I wasn't concerned. I 'fixed' all others.

    I am using my other OLD laptop so I could leave the one we are working on running.

    Here is what happened:
    - I restarted in regular mode. Again, SLOW startup. The desktop and the taskbar loaded. The cursor and hourglass next to it showed on the desktop for a bit, then changed to a regular cursor. But when i moved it over the taskbar, it turned to an hourglass.
    - I waited it out and ended up with just a cursor over the desktop and taskbar. The taskbar is showing now but no system tray icons.
    - I cannot click on any folder or icon on the desktop though. Nothing happens. The cursor still moves though.
    - Also, I 'usually' have the taskbar set to autohide when I use the computer in general. It is not doing that.

    Anyway, just trying to be thorough give you all the small details and subtleties. I did NOT restart it yet and have the computer running if there is anything I can do in this mode and you happen to get to this message this evening.

    Thank you!

    Karen

    Default Weird things

    Hi Little Eagle,

    OK, had to tell you this one.
    I walked away to go take care of some other tasks and left the computer sitting. (again, it is in regular mode). I have been gone 15 minutes or so?

    When i got back, all these windows are up on the desktop and in the taskbar it says '10 Windows Explorer' (like I have 10 Windows Explorer windows open). BUT - the windows that ARE open are just folders from my desktop and if I recall correctly, they are the last folders I tried to click on every time I tried to access them in the past in regular startup mode. So there is the folder to 'My Computer' and a folder I created on the desktop to keep all of the logfiles titled 'TO FIX COMPUTER' - there are 5 of each of these folders. Right now, the 'my computer' folder is open and the flashlight is going back and forth trying to access the folder.
    - Also, the taskbar is loaded with a few system tray icons loaded as well.

    I tried to click on the windows to close them but nothing is happening. I am waiting to see if anything will happen. If I see that it is locked up, I am going to just shut it down and await further instructions.

    Just weird. Thoughts?

    Karen
