| Newbie | Major Problem, please help Hello All, I have got a nasty bug on my vista laptop. I have tried just about everything to clean it up but with no luck. When the bug hits, it turns off the shell extension on AVG, disables all the shortcuts on my desktop. ( Turns the icons to a blank page as well as not letting them execute) When I click on the start menu all the "most used" programs are gone. It also disable the shut down option arrow from the start menu. I have avast, AVG, SypBot, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and Hijackthis all have found problems but have not fixed the major issue. I hope I am posting in the correct place for this type of help. Thanks for any information anyone can offer..... |

| Master | Re: Major Problem, please help Try Antivirus & Content Security Software | Securing Your Web World: - Trend Micro USA and run its free scan. I would remove AVG and get Avast 4.8. Lately, AVG has missed too much and is no longer reliable. |

| Member | Re: Major Problem, please help Hi datalife, Your log looks OK, so it is better to try some more things to be sure there is nothing left. 1. Temporarily disable SpyBotS&D Tea timer so it doesn't interfere with the fix
Save it to your Desktop (but do not run it yet) 4. Reboot into Safe Mode 5. Right Click TempFix.zip ->> Extract all ->> And extract it to your Desktop
As well as the C:\TempFix.txt log |

| Newbie | Re: Major Problem, please help Well as of now, I have not had any problems. But whats funny, when doing all the steps posted the programs didnt find anything that needed to be removed. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens. If everything is in working order I'm going to have to fly to Paris and by you a beer. |

| Tech Help since 1993 | Re: Major Problem, please help Hi sidney1st You seem like you've been trained in HJT logs, I used to teach @ Tom Coyote and Spywareinfo.com. Did you notice what I did? Very few running processes...like zero svchost nor most other usual system processes are running. Plus all the O23's with Unknown Owner and missing files...almost half of them are system services. I think this OS needs to be reinstalled myself at this point or there are just going to be weird problems from here on in. I think whatever got into this system has pretty much hosed it at this point and even tho you can clean it out, I don't think it's going to perform properly or predictably anymore. What do you think?? |
