rebooting and blue screening

yes I uninstalled MSSE and installed avast when you first told me to. MSSE does not show up in my "Add/Remove Programs" screen nor can I find any forders or services running.

the machine still dies and reboots upon the same actions mentioned before (activating the "Space" screensaver, scrolling on the PC Check Utility Screen...)
 
Hi fscali:

Let's remove the leftover.

1. ComboFix - CFScript
WARNING !
This script is for THIS user and computer ONLY!
Using this tool incorrectly could damage your Operating System... preventing it from starting again!


You will not have Internet access when you execute ComboFix. All open windows will need to be closed!

  1. Please open Notepad and copy/paste all the text below... into the window:
    Code:
    KillAll::
    
    Driver::
    Lbd
    MBAMSwissArmy
    "Lavasoft Kernexplorer"
    "Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service"
    
    File::
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys
    c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\Lbd.sys
    
    Folder::
    "c:\documents and settings\fred\Application Data\Malwarebytes"
    "c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes"
    "c:\program files\Lavasoft"
  2. Save it to your desktop as CFScript.txt
  3. Please disable any Antivirus or Firewall you have active, as shown in this topic. Please close all open application windows.
  4. Drag the CFScript.txt (icon) into the ComboFix.exe icon... as seen in the image below:

    ComboFixScriptDrag.gif


    This will cause ComboFix to run again.
    Do Not use your keyboard or mouse click anywhere in the ComboFix window, as this may cause the program to stall or crash.
    Do Not touch your computer when ComboFix is running!

    When finished... Notepad will open ... ComboFix will produce a log file called "log.txt".
  5. Please copy/paste the contents of log.txt... in your next reply.

** Enable your Antivirus and Firewall, before connecting to the Internet again! **



In my opinion, better don't add any website in Trusted zone except your ISP.

Log below. Looks like we got rid of the additional MBAM files but not the MSSE.
Will run ESET next.

Here's my ESET log. Nothing found. Combofix log is in the next post.
I am not getting BSODs anymore. When it crashes it just reboots immediately.

torreattack,
a little more info on the crash/reboot: I'm not getting the BSOD, it just does an immediate power off reboot. it is different than a soft reboot because the power indicator light goes completely out for about a half second as the machine completely powers off.
two other posts below.
thanks,
Fred
 
Hi fscali:

avast is now the only a/v program. the CF log still makes reference to MSSE but that has been uninstalled along w/ malwarebytes.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I though you mean you had uninstall MSE and MBAM. You may reinstall MBAM back if you want to.


I am not getting BSODs anymore. When it crashes it just reboots immediately.
Glad to hear the BSOD problem solved. As for the reboot problem, I don't think it is caused by malware. Your logs look ok to me.


I will try my luck to deal with the reboot problem with the following method, if still fail to solve, I had no choice but sent you to other expert. Sorry.

1. Do you have a Genuine XP CD-ROM and if so does it it include a Service Pack and if so which one?


2. System File Check:
You must login as administrator to perform this.

Close all open applications/windows etc.
  • Click on Start >> Run...
  • Type in SFC /Scannow <--- Make sure to leave a space between SFC and the forward slash.
  • Click on OK
  • System File Checker will now scan all protected files to verify their versions.



3. Farbar Service Scanner (FSS)
Please download Farbar Service Scanner ... by Farbar and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click FSS.exe to run it on the computer with the issue.
  • Make sure the following options are checked:
    • Internet Services (checked by default)
    • Windows Firewall
    • System Restore
    • Security Center
    • Windows Update
    • Windows Defender
  • Press the "Scan" button.
    When finished, a text file named FSS.txt will be created on your desktop. (Same folder the tool is run).
  • Please copy and paste the contents of the FSS.txt log to your reply.
    Note: If you receive an AutoIt error indicating: Error: Variable must be of type "Object", please UNCHECK the "Report Windows Version Fully" option and run the scan again.


4. VEW - Vino's Event Viewer
Please download VEW.exe... by Vino Rosso. Save it to your desktop.
  1. Double click on VEW.exe to start the program. If you recieve an "Open File" security warning, press Run.
  2. In the "Select log to query" section check:
    • Application
    • System
  3. In the "Select type to list" section check:
    • Error
    • Information
    • Warning
  4. In the "Number or dates of events" section check :
    • Number of events... then enter 20 in the entry box.
  5. Press the Run button.
    When the process completes, it only takes a few seconds...
  6. Notepad will open with a report file named: VEW.txt... located on %SystemDrive%\VEW.txt ... usually C:\VEW.txt.
  7. Please copy and paste the contents of the VEW.txt file, in your next reply.

thanks,
torreattack
 
torreattack
no need to appologize. I appreciate the time you are taking to assist!

1. I have the Dell reinstallation disc for XP but...
2. When I run the SFC it askes specifically for the SP3 disc and I guess the one I have is not the right one so I can not complete the SFC.

3. and 4. the FSS and VEW logs are below:

Hi fscali:

It is hard to tell what cause the reboot, I only can give you the Trial and Error game.

Based on your log, these are some software /application that created some warning or error in your computer.
Google Earth
Google Talk Plugin
Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer
Google Update Helper
Google Updater
Windows Live OneCare safety scanner
Windows Search 4.0

Let's remove them and observe whether the situation improve. If not, you may reinstall them.


1. Remove Programs
  • Click Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
  • Remove these programs by clicking Remove:
    Google Earth
    Google Talk Plugin
    Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer
    Google Update Helper
    Google Updater
    Windows Live OneCare safety scanner
    Windows Search 4.0
Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller.


2. Reinstall Adobe Reader
  • You should Download and Install the newest version of Adobe Reader for reading pdf files.
  • Older versions may have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
  • Go Here to download and install Adobe Reader.
  • Note: remember to Uncheck any extra software downloads you may be offered (optional)


3. Can you try to check whether the computer is still rebooting when it is disconnect from you local area network or offline?

thanks,
torreattack
 
No luck yet:
1. Removed all but Google Update Helper because it was not listed in the Add/Remove Programs window.
2. Installed Adobe Reader X
3. Reboot happens w/ network cable disconnected.
 
Hi fscali :

it is different than a soft reboot because the power indicator light goes completely out for about a half second as the machine completely powers off.
:oops: Sound like a hardware problem, I suggest you start with Memory Test.


Not a Malware Issue
Your problem does not appear to be "malware" related. The Malware Removal forum deals with removing malware.

=========================================================================================

Let's do some housekeeping before you leave.

Time for some housekeeping
  • Click on Start >> Run...
  • Now type in ComboFix /Uninstall into the box and click OK.
  • Note the space between the X and the /Uninstall, it needs to be there.

The above procedure will reset your System Restore and clear out the backups and quarantines created during the course of this fix.


Next

Clean up with OTL
  • Double click OTL.exe to run it.
  • This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTL main screen, press the CleanUp! button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.


You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop.


Re-enable Protection Programs
Don't forget to re-enable any protection programs we disabled during your fix.



Now we needed to deal with security vulnerabilities

Your Mozilla Firefox is outdated
  • In the Firefox browser click Help > Check for updates to install the latest version.



Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

WinPatrol
As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission.

WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.

MVPS Hosts
MVPS Hosts File From Here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
You can Find the Tutorial HERE


Update your programs regularly
Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
