Forum Rules

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.

If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

I Posted Today, 07:30 PM in the wrong forum, but..........

Please help, I'm pretty sure I have a nasty infection! I am running XP-sp2. I loaded fire fox 3.6 during the holidays. At first my internet connection slowed to a crawl, now my web browswer searches in I.E-8 and FireFox are being hijacked. If that wasn't enough, I get the occassional popup audio commercial!

I have looked on several forums for help, including this one. I have downloaded and run current versions and updates to Spybot, had just upgraded SuperAnti Spyware. I've also ran Regrun, GooredFix, Unhackme, AVGfree, and Combfix. The software isn't identifying the menis on this machine.

I have logs out of the watzoo, but don't know what I'm looking for or how to fix the problem. I'm a hardware person, limited experience with software. But I have done some registry editing before. I'm just not sure which keys to edit or delete to rid my system of the problem.

I have uninstalled/disabled AVG, Spybot, and SuperAnti.and FoxFire. I can't unstall the following: Bejeweled 2 Deluxe(free)and Microsoft Silverlight is 4095mbs in my add and remove software, can I remove it from my system?

Please help! As I stated earlier, nothing is idenifying the virus/or malware, and I can't find it. I will supply all logs run this week, just tell me where to start.
