Symptoms:
Web browser began opening MANY windows to random sites or advertisements. Now, the system only shows the desktop wallpaper upon boot-up. Icons and the taskbar are not visible. Task Manager is operational. I cannot access the internet through either IE or Firefox when using Task Manager. Both give the page cannot be displayed error. Also, when typing explorer.exe or iexplorer.exe in the Task Manager (Run) field, an error of "cannot access the specified path" is given.
Actions Taken:
I've run AVG v 7.5.549. It is out of date, but cannot download the latest due to the internet issue. Tried to download on another system and transfer via flash drive, but it saved as a PHP file so the infected desktop tries to open the program in DreamWeaver which doesn't help. Also ran SpyBot and Malwarebytes. Trojans were deleted after all scans but I'm still having the issue. All versions on the system are likely out of date so this is probably part of the problem.
Current Status:
Read through several posts in this forum and have run Hijack This v2.0.2. The log is below. Would greatly appreciate any assistance on next steps!
