731119 2008-12-19 21:46:00 Hi there,

We've got a laptop that has been running super slow lately. It's running XP with 512MB of RAM. Today, whenever you start it up, it takes a good 3 - 4 minutes for the task bar and desktop icons to appear, then it takes Trend Micro Internet Security a good 10 minutes extra to finish loading. To top it off, it won't let us get on the internet either, and when you click on IE, all these tabs fly open, and the only way to close IE is to go Ctrl > Alt > Del and end the process. Other computers can get on the net, just not that one. It says "limited access" (or something like that). I installed NetNanny this morning if that has anything to do with it. Everything went downhill from there (It's now been uninstalled). I decided to run a HijackThis, however that presented us with problems too. It gave us a message saying:
For some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, Hijack this may not be able to fix this. If that happens, you need to edit the files yourself. To do this, click start, run and type: notepad C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts and press enter. Find the line(s) HijackThis reports and delete them. Save the file as 'hosts' (with Quotes) and reboot.

Here is the file:

731120 2008-12-19 22:13:00 Uninstall all versions of Java, its out of date then update it

Get this then run it (www.cexx.org)

Then reboot

I would also do a scan with malwarebytes below

731121 2008-12-19 22:31:00 Thanks for your reply speedy,

I uninstalled java, then installed the new version (I think, it's v6 update 11 which I downloaded last week). I also did the LSP-fix, however it said it didn't repair anything. I'll run malware bytes soon, I'm just waiting for the desktop to load.
davidmmac (4619)
731122 2008-12-19 23:54:00 Ran malware bytes, but it didn't come up with anything, so I'm going to try spybot and ad-aware davidmmac (4619)
731123 2008-12-20 00:08:00 Tick this entry then tick fix checked

Close browsers

O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP chain gap (#4 in chain of 31 missing)

This may break net access if it hasnt yet
Speedy Gonzales (78)
731124 2008-12-20 00:37:00 Thanks speedy, will do that soon, just waiting for the ad-aware scan to finish up. Found 216(!) infections so far davidmmac (4619)
731125 2008-12-20 00:44:00 Did you update malwarebytes before you did a scan?

I would disable system restore
Speedy Gonzales (78)
731126 2008-12-20 01:07:00 Did you update malwarebytes before you did a scan?

I would disable system restore

I couldn't update because of the lack of an Internet connection :crying. I'll disable system restore when ad-aware has finished scanning, and I'll tick that box on HijackThis.
davidmmac (4619)
731127 2008-12-20 01:13:00 Finished Ad-aware scan. Found a critical object called "Win32.Adware.Onestep" davidmmac (4619)
731128 2008-12-20 01:21:00 I've had a slight problem. Because I exited out of HijackThis to restart the computer, I had to rescan, but now I can't find the O10 entry, it just goes O9 then O16. davidmmac (4619)
