I believe I have the files attached that you requested.

Thanks again

I have a couple of what I condider minor issues with my laptop but as soon as I get my desktop fixed I will ask for help on these also because they are becoming more annoying day by day.

I tried to send my event log files but they are over 500 kb. If you need them I will go through and remove all duplicate entries and cut them down. Let me know

No need right now. Moved to HijackThis Logs.

Download Download SDFix from here and save it to your desktop.

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.
In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All,
Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the script.
It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum.

=========================================
This will help to identify any malware on your system.
Please download Combofix from any of these locations:
Here
or
Here

Save ComboFix to the desktop.
1. Double click on combo.exe & follow the prompts.
2. When finished, it will produce a logfile located at C:\ComboFix.txt.
3. Copy and Paste the contents of that log in your next reply with a new hijackthis log. Do not use Code or html unless asked for.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to stall/hang.

Caution...Never run and remove files using ComboFix without being supervised by a security analyst.

The links for combofix do not function. There are warnings on the internet that combofix has been withdrawn because of a rootkit that makes it able to delete all files on the systemdrive. It says use comboscan intsead. What is your comment on this?

Sorry found out is is not called comboscan anymore either, dss.exe is new name, Deckard's System Scan.

Here are the files you asked for. I ran DSS in normal mode because it said I could and you did not specify but I will run it again in safe mode along with hijack this and forward reports in next post.

Note that my drives that I am having an issue with come up saying they are unformatted. If I try to open A: drive for example it says the drive is unformatted even if there isn't a drisk in the drive. If I do open the drive and look at properties it says RAW. You will notice that I accidentlly left a cd in one of the drives so it says CDFS system. Normally the cds says not formatted or incorrect file format.
