computer security/protection

how do i fix this? do i delete or use on the the cleaner programs we have installed?
O2 - BHO: Act.UI.InternetExplorer.Plugins.AttachFile.CAttachFile - {D5233FCD-D258-4903-89B8-FB1568E7413D} - mscoree.dll (file missing)

you are right, i haven't installed a 3rd party firewall yet - i will work on all this this evening. i think we enabled the windows firewall while we were working - should i leave it on?
 
With HijackThis.

Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark it.

Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

Please turn it off after installing 3rd party firewall (if you decide to install one).
 
deleted O2 - BHO: Act.UI.InternetExplorer.Plugins...

i used hjt and checked the corresponding box to remove:
O2 - BHO: Act.UI.InternetExplorer.Plugins.AttachFile.CAttachFile - {D5233FCD-D258-4903-89B8-FB1568E7413D} - mscoree.dll (file missing)
 
hjt question

in regard to hijack this, what do you mean by "Please turn it off after installing 3rd party firewall." ?

firewall protection & internet security settings

(1) i asked earlier what you meant by:
"Please turn it off after installing 3rd party firewall."
i think you meant to turn off windows firewall, so i have turned off windows firewall via the control panel|security settings. is this what you meant?

(2) I reviewed the sw based firewalls that you recommended. i liked comodo and zonealarm best & after reading all the material, settled on comodo, however neglected to go back and review your instructions so
(a) i am not sure if i installed safesurf or not.
do you know how to check this?
(b) also, i intentially chose not to use comodo for my defualt web page or browser. do you think it is important to change this? if so, why?

combofix is uninstalled

downloaded & ran otcleanit & it removed itself after reboot

disabled & re-enabled system restore

(3) followed the instructions to enhance IE security (i am now running IE8 beta in lieu of IE6); i rarely use IE. are there similar settings for firefox?

i will work on reviewing the material about and installing malwarebytes, spywareblaster, mvps hosts, and winpatrol tomorrow
 
"i think you meant to turn off windows firewall, so i have turned off windows firewall via the control panel|security settings. is this what you meant?"

Yes :)

"(a) i am not sure if i installed safesurf or not.
do you know how to check this?
(b) also, i intentially chose not to use comodo for my defualt web page or browser. do you think it is important to change this? if so, why?"

a) It shows in add/remove programs if you have

b) That's fine

"are there similar settings for firefox?"

Default settings are fine.

Does safe mode work now?
 
admin password

i will work on that later today (after sleep =) need to get a cd to use since this laptop does not support diskettes.
 
password recovery

i have been trying to recover my admin password using the cd instruction per http://www.loginrecovery.com/instructions.php as referenced by http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm

i extracted the iso file and burned it to a cd. however, when i power up, the regular login appears - after several attempts, my computer will now only boot in 'active desktop recovery'. when i attempt to restore, i get an internet explorer script error: object does not support this action

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/soseberg/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Internet%20Explorer/Desktop.htt

with the question "do you want to continue running scripts on this page?' nothing happens when i select yes or no.

when burning the cd (using CDBurnerXP Pro 3 Freeware) i tried all differnt combos: joliet, ISO Level1, ISO Level 2 & either bootable or non-bootable.

what did i do wrong?
 
login passwords & safemode info

yes, i can login while in active desktop recovery using the login credentials i normally use
 
active destop restored

that was very easy - didn't think to re-apply my desktop

so what do you think about the password recovery?
 
I think that it would be best to re-direct you to some windows forum for that because it is not actually those things where I am the best person to advice.

Is it OK?
