Hi crozbone,
Yes, essexboy and nmb sought out your problem for you. I would go for the following layered security solution: avast resident av + SpywareBlaster, + MBAM + SAS, Threatfire + two way firewall,
Could you download freefixer from here http://www.freefixer.com/about/release-notes.html#0.47
and give me an attached logfile from it in a next posting,
polonus
The MalwareBytes did not detect anything already… Thanks so much!!
Sir polonus wew too many layered security solution :D
I'll try that soon but now I'll stick too my Avast, MalwareBytes and Spybot S&D
here is the attached file you requested sir :DHi crozbone12,
I have been analyzing your Freefixer report:
Fix this with Freefixer:
http://searchtasks.answersthatwork.com/tasklist.php?File=IoctlSvc
Program Name :
IoctlSvc.exe
IoctlSvc.exe Manufacturer :
Prolific Technology
IoctlSvc.exe Status :
Not OK
IoctlSvc.exe Description :
Utterly useless and occasionally problematic background service installed when a user installs the CD that comes with some USB thumb drives (Memory sticks / Flash memory / USB memory / Pen Drive). From our tests, and from our experience, despite using very little memory this service performs no function other than seriously impact the performance of some PCs. On some PCs this service will often cause PC slowness or random freezes.
IoctlSvc.exe Recommendation :
Immediately disable this task by setting its Startup Mode to Disabled on the Services tab - your thumb drive (Memory stick / Flash memory / USB memory / Pen Drive) will work fine without it,
Be carefull with using PHP/BitTorrent services, there could be malcode luring inside your downloads,
because of this:
E:\Program Files\FrostWire\FrostWire.exe, md5:4939d0506630168e691c7d389435a773
program is absolutely not malicious, but the use of it could be riskful,
mind you only installed the main service and not additional adware like askbar etc.
but I saw you did not do that,
keep safe and secure,
polonus
hey crozbone12
consider sir polonus’s words. he is one of the malware fighters and a good man.

I see you are running a Vista version of explorer.exe weird ;D
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…Run OTS and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove along with ERUNT. But they may be useful tools to keep
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.
XP
Now to get you off to a good start we will clean your restore points so that all the bad stuff is gone for good. Then if you need to restore at some stage you will be clean. There are several ways to reset your restore points, but this is my method:
[*]Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore.
[*]On the dialogue box that appears select Create a Restore Point
[*]Click NEXT
[*]Enter a name e.g. Clean
[*]Click CREATE
You now have a clean restore point, to get rid of the bad ones:
[*]Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
[*]In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
[*]Click OK
[*]The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
[*]Select the More Options Tab.
[*]At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
[*]Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done
SPRING CLEAN
Download TFC to your desktop
[*]Open the file and close any other windows.
[*]It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted.
[*]Click the Start button to begin the process. The program should not take long to finish its job
[*]Once its finished it should reboot your machine, if not, do this yourself to ensure a complete clean
THEN
Download and run Auslogics Disc Defragmenter
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
[]SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
[]SuperAntispyware Run weekly to keep your system clean
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
To keep your operating system up to date visit
[*]Microsoft Windows Update
To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?
