When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

AM trying to fix my daughter's laptop. Running VERY slowly - lots of popups with IE7 (Have installed Opera to be able to access internet) AVG 8.5 (free edition) found many instances of Vundo and Generic.XXX. I started to follow instructions on this forum for someone else who had similar infections - and got rid of 20 of 28 infected items that Malwarebytes found - but I got a message from AVG that I still had "trojan horse Root-kit DV." I clicked on "move to vault." Then I ran Malwarebytes again and found the trojan and a rootkit infection, so had MBAM remove them. Then I ran a "complete scan" and found them again, soI figured I'd better post myself and get some help - maybe have someone look at a HJT log or something... . I hope this is enough information. (I also hope someone is around on this holiday.... the weather here is lousy - so maybe one of you guys is on the forum instead of outdoors! That would be great. Thanks in advance for any help)

Hi. I just ran MBAM and Superantispyware and they both reorted no infections. (Ran Superantispy in safe mode) But still, I'd like sojmeone to look at my logs and tell me if they think the computer is okay now. I don't want anything lurking... PS, I installed Avast home edition (and uninstalled AVG 8.5) because Avast has an anti-rootkit compnent, but AVG does not (not the free edition, anyway). Right now my daughter is using Opera - but I think she'd like to get back to IE - I'll upgrade to version 8 when I know the computer is clean. Your kind attention is most gratefully appreciated. :thumbsup:
