My current issue began when one day my computer just suddenly failed to start recognizing my flash drive in Windows Explorer. It would show up in device manager and seem installed properly but it would not show up in Disk Management OR My Computer.
I did some research and found out a few possible solutions to my current problem and looked into mapping it in disk management and found something quite interesting. The only drive actually IN the Disk Management area was the CD-Rom, both of my HDD's were non-existant there.....yet they can be found in every other aspect such as Device Manager and My Computer.
I searched some more and happened onto someone who seemed to be having the same exact problem I was having but seemed to fix it with no obvious solution I could discover in the thread.
I did the Spyware/Malware removal steps verbatim listed in another part of the forum and am attatching my 3 logs as requested. Here is my computer info:
Windows XP SP3
Pentium 4 2.5Ghz
1024mb RAM
128mb ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
111GB Western Digital HDD
AVG Internet Security 8.5
Program version: 8.5.287
Also even after doing all required malware/spyware removal things I'm still getting pop-ups in my browser for the program SpywareRemover2009 which is pretty obviously malware redirecting.
Any resolutions to these issues would be much appreciated as I cannot even currently burn DVD's due to the problems at hand and I have data I would like to save, some of it irreplacable.
