Computer Info:
PC: Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop
OS: Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 Service Pack 2
Issues:
Fake Windows Security Center: So far I have been able to get rid of this but that is the only thing that is gone. All of my problems started with this malware/virus
System Restore disabled: I was denied access, fixed that, did a restore then got infected again before I completed "cleaning" computer. Now System restore calendar is blank. Tried the following:
regsvr32 jscript - COMPLETED
regsvr32 vbscript - COMPLETED
regsvr32 /I MSHTML - recieved the following error: MSHTML was loaded, but the DDLRegServer entry point was not found. MSHTML does not appear to be a .ddl or .ocx file.
MSCONFIG denied access
Safe Mode Disabled: When I boot up into safe mode a ton of lines run on the screen and it asks to Cancel
Search Engine Redirect: Some searches are redirected to spy/malware pages
Indirect User Access: My History is FULL of sites I never went to and sometimes I can hear sites through my speakers that are not open in my browser
History:
I had the Fake Windows Security Center virus 6 months ago. I was denied access to System Restore and MSCONFIG but Malwarebytes took care of it. I then got McAfee which made my pc run slowly and it allowed this re-infection.
What I have tried:
Protection: Uninstalled McAfee and installed Avira. I cannot open Avira. I can open Avira Desktop settings but I cannot open the Scan or the Guard
Malwarebytes: I downloaded Malwarebytes and renamed the exe file because it wojld not open. This worked but when it came to extractring the files during setup, it took 20 minutes to complete. At teh end of installation when you select run the program nothing happens. I've restarted my pc many times and I cannot open Malwarebytes.
SuperAntiSpyware: Same as above. I can open it but it either doesn't properly install or if it does install I cannot open it.
CCleaner: This program runs well. I ran it many times until it came back with no results. My computer is running faster now.
Updated Java Runtime Environment: I downloaded the latest version and uninstalled all old versions.
Add/Remove Programs: Removed Utorrent, McAfee Virus Protection and Viewpoint Media Player. Didn't have any other stuff found on lists of apps to remove.
Hijackthis: Ran this program. Also Scanned my computer with Trend Micro HouseCall and it came back with no viruses. Hijackthis Log Attached
Rootkit Buster: Ran this program from Trend Micro as well. Log Attached
What do I do now? PLEASE HELP and thank you in advance all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
