Hi.

When I open Internet Explorer it hangs and the whole pc freezes then I do the CTRL-ALT-DEL move and after a while it pops up, I ends the Iexplorer.exe proccess and then the pc is fine again,

I did an Spyware scan and a Virus scan, found I few but removed it all.

One thing I noticed was, When it opens it looks like its loading some sort of Mediaplayer Plug-In, dont know if that is causing the issue.

Hi,

You may wish to copy and paste these instructions on notepad for easier reference later.

Boot into safe mode under your normal user name. See how HERE

Next turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE

Go to start > run and type services.msc. Press the enter key.
Search for the following services. Double click to select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

AUTO
New.net Startup


Go to start > Control Panel > Add and Remove Programs.
Remove anything related to the following:

New.net

After that, run HijackThis and fix the following entries, if found (do this by placing a tick in the check boxes beside these entries and clicking "Fix checked"):

Close HJT.


Navigate in Windows Explorer and delete the following files and folders in bold.

C:\Program Files\NewDotNet
C:\HOC\

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Thereafter, please post fresh HJT, ComboFix and AVG Antispyware logs from normal mode as attachments into this thread.

Your friendly Momok =)
