Hi Resourceful.I think the first thing I would do would be to download Malwarebytes Anti Malware.Get it from www.malwarebytes.org. Click on the free download link.When you use it check for updates first then run a quick scan.Quarantine or delete what it finds then post its log here to see if you need further help.

Hi Resourceful

I’m no expert, but I would recommend you try scanning in safe mode. If you hold down F8 while starting up your computer, it will boot in safe mode. Then you can run a new scan with Avast and Malwarebytes. In addition, I noted you only did a quick scan. This is not enough, you need to do a full scan.

This way Avast found a trojan on my sister’s computer that screwed it up so bad it would barely boot.

If you still find nothing, I would recommend downloading the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (I believe you can get here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx)

Also, you may want to try Super Anti Spyware as well. ( http://superantispyware.com/ )

Also I would say run a Boot Scan with Avast. You might have something hiding in your memory. You can do this by Starting Avast and clicking on the menu button on the upper left, and then I believe the option is there to start a boot scan.

And last but not least, if none of these fix it, download Hijack This (http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/).

This will not fix the problem but will provide an extensive log of your files so hopefully someone more computer literate can determine the cause.

Good luck!

The “My Documents” folder automatically opens every time that you log on to a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer

not working :-[ the value still the same no long name

@ macmomma08

Malwarebytes is designed to run in Normal mode.

@ Resourceful

SUPERAntiSpyware is good to run but ignore the cookies detection.

Thanks Kenny, I didn’t realize that safe mode had no effect on it. I know that Avast couldn’t remove a Trojan on my sis’s comp without using safe mode so I figured he should try both.

11

If your sister has XP, vista or Win2k (all 32bit), she could enable a boot time scan instead of having to boot into safe mode.

Right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, a memory scan will take place followed by the opening of the Simple User Interface, Menu, ‘Schedule boot-time scan…’ Or see http://www.digitalred.com/avast-boot-time.php. Don’t opt for deletion (you have no options left), always send to the chest and investigate.

Look in the C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\report\aswBoot.txt file, check this file using notepad and copy and past the info on the detection.

hey really thx you running malwarebytes in safe mode found 2 same kind of worm , Removed from start up using window defender

13

Go to the virus chest, user files and add the file. Then right click it and choose email to Alwil. Choose potential malware, add a description and your email address (optional). In a few days avast! might add it to their database. If its bigger than 1024 Kb, go to the program settings, and increase the size of the file to be sent. :smiley:

16

I still ned help :-[

17

Ad-Aware has not kept up with the latest malware so it is a waste of system resources and hard disk space.

SUPERAntiSpyware is good.

18

is there any good anti spyware(free) with real time protection ?? ::slight_smile:

19

Not necessary if you have avast.
Spyware Doctor (from Google Pack) or Spyware Terminator are resident for free.
