I'd be extremely grateful if someone check my attached prework logs/reports.
I'm pretty sure I have some horrible stuff on my PC that I'd like to be rid of.

hey oddbod, welcome to the forums....for some reason, avg is set to ignore all the problems. Please do the following, post the new avg log and a new hjt log.

First download AVG Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.
This is a 30 day trial of the program. After the trial period, the scanner will continue to work, and you will still be able to receive updates; however, certain advanced setting will no longer be available unless purchsased

1. Once you have downloaded AVG Anti-Spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
2. Once the setup is complete you will need run AVG Anti-Spyware and update the definition files.
3. On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "Update now" link.
   • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
4. Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
5. Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
6. Under "Reports"
   • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
   • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"

Close AVG Anti-Spyware, Do Not run a scan just yet, we will shortly.

1. Reboot your computer into SafeMode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.
   IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while AVG Anti-Spyware is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:
2. Lauch AVG Anti-Spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
3. Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
4. AVG Anti-Spyware will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
   Once the scan is complete do the following:
5. If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
6. Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
7. Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
8. Close AVG Anti-Spyware and reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the results of the AVG Anti-Spyware report scan as well as a new hjt log.

Thanks,

Thanks for your time,
I'm getting this box on start up -



any ideas what this is?

(I did have Spylocked but followed a procedure to get rid of it which seemed to work.
I also accidently downloaded Spyware Bot instead of Spybot S&D (doh!) but I wasn't sure if this has been erradicated)

weird error. Try this: Go to start > run > regedit.exe > that will bring up the registry,which looks sort of like the explorer window > expand the following ( \ marks mean click the plus sign next to the file)

HKEY_CURRENT_USERS \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon

click on winlog, see if there is a file called 'shell' in the right hand pane....let me know if it's there or not.....

be CAREFUL in the registry. Do NOT delete anything, or modify anything unless explicity instructed to; you mess something up in there, bad things can happen in a hurry.

thanks,

v

Okay, there is a file called Shell

The Type is - REG_SZ

The Data column - rundll32 "C:\DOCUME~\Tim\LOCALS~1\Temp\systems.dll" X4,explorer.exe


Is that good or bad?

Thanks
