Hello Jaymo,


I believe you should run MBAM/SAS as an additional check for
malware in your system.

See if this th�ead helps.

I'd say you've got more work to do (and you should replace McAfee Security
Center with a more-robust AV app/security suite).

NB: If you had no anti-virus application installed or the subscription had
expired *when the machine first got infected* and/or your subscription has
since expired and/or the machine's not been kept fully-patched at Windows
Update, don't waste your time with any of the below: Format & reinstall
Windows. A Repair Install will NOT help!

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan! You may need to download the
MSRT on a non-infected machine, then transfer MRT.EXE to the infected
machine and rename it to SCAN.EXE before running it.

2. [WinXP ONLY!! =>] Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan
(only!) in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

Your McAfee app will NOT be able to clean all of this up.

IMHO: Avoid McAfee Internet Security freebie and AVG. Consider NOD32 or
Kaspersky anti-virus (not the suites); if cost is a factor, consider Avira
AntiVir or Avast (free).

I forgot to mention I was able to force the updates, I just kept turning on
auto update in the security center in controll panel and going to windows
update when the yellow shield in the lower right corner showed up I clicked
it and clicked install updates and they took, not sure if the security
updates will help but you never know Im still planning to dump and reload, I
saved my photos, just a few more things. thanks again
