winlogon.exe exception causing error/restart

Nevermind that last one

I checked out other logs with the same error report and they all said it was nothing to worry about so I went ahead with the rest of your steps. Here are the Dr. Web CureIt and fresh HijackThis logs:

Some Kind of Victory

For the time being the initial problem seems to be gone. I can shutdown and restart without issue. Thank you so much for you time and advice. Please let me know what else might still be at large.

I was also wondering what security programs you might recommend to have running to prevent/put up a good fight against all these issues?

:bigthumb:
 
Hi again, it is looking clean now :)

Now you can clean AVG's Quarantine:
  • Open AVG Anti-Spyware
  • Click Infections
  • Click Quarantine tab
  • Click Select all
  • Click Remove finally
  • Close the program
You can remove the tools we used.

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

Now that you seem to be clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  • Clear your system restore
    This will clear the system restore folders from possible malware that was left behind during the cleaning process.
  • Use ATF Cleaner
    Download and install ATF Cleaner. Clean your temporary files & folders with it regularly.
  • Use Ad-Aware
    Download and install Ad-Aware. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
  • Use AVG Anti-Spyware
    Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
  • Use Spybot S&D
    Download and install Spybot S&D. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
  • Install SpywareBlaster
    SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Install MVPS Hosts file
    This prevents your computer from connecting to harmful sites.
  • Use Firefox browser
    Firefox is faster, safer and better browser than Internet Explorer.
  • Keep your systen up-to-date
    Visit Windows Update regularly.
  • Keep your antivirus and firewall up-to-date
    Scan your computer regularly with your antivirus.
  • Read this article by TonyKlein
    So how did I get infected in the first place?
  • Stand Up and Be Counted !
    The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Stay clean and be safe :bigthumb:
 
A Big Thank You

:bigthumb:

I followed your steps to secure my now clean computer which gives me a great sense of relief. Thank you again so much for helping me get rid of the problems that plagued my computer. Once I get moved here in a week and get started at my new job I plan to see about getting into Malware University, I would love to be able to repay the favor you did for me. Thank You Again.

:bigthumb:
 
That's great news and you're very welcome :D:

Nice to hear that you're interested in Malware Removal University :)

As the problem appears to be resolved this topic has been archived.

If you need it re-opened please send a private message (pm) to a forum staff member and provide a link to the thread; this applies only to the original topic starter.

Glad we could help :2thumb:
