| 480572 | 2006-08-25 16:38:00 | I tried using Killbox, but it had no effect. I tried to download rootkit revealer as well, but it won't download. If I am able to get it downloaded I will post what I can. | anderson3250 (11038) | ||
| 480573 | 2006-08-25 18:44:00 | Get ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) Download, install and run it. |

| 480574 | 2006-08-25 18:55:00 | I already have it. | anderson3250 (11038) | ||
| 480575 | 2006-08-25 19:19:00 | Have you got Spybot (www.spybot.info) or Adaware (www.lavasoftusa.com) If not download install, and update Spybot then do a scan. |

| 480576 | 2006-08-25 21:11:00 | Both of the programs fall short in detecting my problem. Let me state it now, I have tried many many virus, trojan, spyware, and malware scanners. I have noticed multiple instances (6) IEXPLORE.EXE that are using 13000 each. Its most likely related since I do not use IE at all. | anderson3250 (11038) | ||
| 480577 | 2006-08-25 21:13:00 | did you uninstall one virus checker as reccommend in a earlier post, running two virus checkers maybe producing false positives ( finding somthing thats not there) as well as a few other problems | beama (111) | ||
| 480578 | 2006-08-25 21:56:00 | Whe I ran Hijackthis I was already in the process of removing norton. I had the virus popup before I downloaded avg and now with norton gone and a reinstallation of AVG, I am 100% sure it is a virus. Online scanners eve say the files that I find are viruses. | anderson3250 (11038) | ||
| 480579 | 2006-08-25 23:20:00 | Since it is a new computer why not just cut all the hassle and use the restore discs or reformat to wipe the hard drive clean and start again? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 480580 | 2006-08-26 01:41:00 | When you say Killbox had no effect I assume it deleted the files in the temp folders but the issue remains. Strange you can't get RR from the below link, try going to the program page: www.sysinternals.com The download link is at the very bottom of the page. Also, if you find multiple iexplore.exe's running, do a hijackthis log at that point, by comparing with the below clean-looking one we may be able to see what is launching. |

| 480581 | 2006-08-26 02:36:00 | One more thing that may be useful, run hijackthis, press the config button, under StartupList put a check in the minor sections checkbox, press Generate StartupList log, and then say yes. This may find the startup location of the problem. | silvero (11011) | ||
