Hi Chiaz,

I could not find the following in add/remove
HotBar
180Solutions
New.net or NewDotNet

I ran uninstall6_90.exe all ok there.


Please find attached AVg with every thing ticked ( was so much easier to see in norm mode.) I had to redownload AVG, done updates etc ran as per request.

Omg after looking at both reports they might have come out the same,I set How To Act to Quarantine and checked it twice more b4 i did scan.PS. yes i rebooted the comp and checked all was set as u asked and AVG shows no quarantine in it? Thats all I could see in the AVG programme to set to Quarantine.
Srry Chiaz??

Thanks Chiaz.

It's OK.

Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove this if found:
Macrogaming SweetIM

Next boot to safe mode, and delete the following files/folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\Deborah\My Documents\RealVegasInstaller.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Sara\Application Data\Hotbar
C:\Program Files\Macrogaming


Reboot back to normal mode. Remember the tool called CCleaner that you downloaded while following the instructions in Prework? Run this tool. Click on Analyze, then Run Cleaner. Repeat until either no further files appear needing to be cleaned, or the same files keep reappearing.


Finally, run a new scan of AVG Anti-Spyware and HijackThis, in normal mode. I'll be awaiting the two logs.

Hi Chiaz,
first my apoligies, I was not completing the final stages in AVG hopefully this one is quarantined.

Macrogaming sweetim.....removed from add/remove

RealvagasInstall exe.....I could not actually see anything that said exe in it, but there was an Realvagas icon in there so I deleted it.

Hotbar, i could not find this in safe mode, however i did look in normal mode and found a folder in windows,I did delete it.

Macrogaming........deleted.

Cc Cleaner all done and AVG and HJT attached.

Thanks Chiaz

Yep, many things have been disinfected. Run HijackThis and place a tick by the following entries:
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {BC4FFE41-DE9F-46fa-B455-AAD49B9F9938} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: SWEETIE - {1A0AADCD-3A72-4b5f-900F-E3BB5A838E2A} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BC4FFE41-DE9F-46fa-B455-AAD49B9F9938} - (no file)


Close all other windows except HijackThis and press "Fix Checked". Then close HijackThis and restart the computer. Post back with a new log. How is your computer running now?

Hi Chiaz,
Ok deleted what u asked for in HJT ( report attached ).

Still about the same on start up, takes about 12 mins to boot right up.

Chiaz during boot up the windows update icon shows, I have tried to update but it tells me I need Microsoft Office Xp Prof with front page, it asks for a disk, which I know my friend does not have as this comp came preloaded with everything, then it tells me ' the path to microsoft xp pro with front page cannot be found, try to find installation package PROPLUS.MSI in folder and install Microsoft Office Xp pro front page.

I have stuff trying to load up when I am booting up, something that pops up and says windows loading and a very persistant Picture gallery box trying to load, all I do is just keep hitting the cancel button untill it stops.

Not sure if this is relevant to anything.

Ok Chiaz report attached below.
Thankyou again.

It is my belief that even if a computer comes preloaded with everything the shop will give the OEM discs to the owner?

Do you mean this happens when your desktop background already loads?

I'm sure I encountered something like this before, but I can't remember what the problem was now.


Try this first:
go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:
sfc /scannow

This command will immediately start the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem.

Ok Chiaz,
I will set up the sick comp and do that, in regards to the discs, even my comp and the wifes comp where not supplied with discs, seems to be the norm over here, buy a comp with every thing on it with no discs. The picture gallery tries to load when my desk top is already up and my desktop icons r loaded,there is a lot of garbage on this comp Chiaz, games that will not uninstall etc I have yet to get into that part. I will let u know how things wnet after the scannow....Thanks
