Malware, Virus on WP Pro no Safe Mode option, No Start task bar or icons

[tj1davis]

I have been trying to trouble shoot this problem all day. When I boot up my Laptop running Windows XP Pro, Trend Micro will run not due to erros encountered. I have tried to run Malware Bytes and get an error. It's seems to be having a problem registering DLL's too. I have run Stinger from McAfee and nothing detected. Once it finishes booting up there are no icons on my desk top and no Start task bar at the bottom. When I try to boot to Safe Mode the only option I have is Vista and no Safe Mode. But the Visat option doesn't make sense seince I have XP Pro.

If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tim

Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner. It's been crazy trying to get caught back up at work because of the snow here. But I wanted to let you know a couple of things. I don't have a Start task bar or anything. TrendMicro encounters an error on boot up and I don't think it is running but I don't know what processes to look for in task manager. And Task Manager is about I do have access to. I also do not have internet access as the Wifi also enounters an error on boot up. Please advise... I iwll have time this evening to work on this so what ever you suggest I wil be able to try this evening.

Thanks for your assistance!

Tim

Download both programs on working computer and move them to bad computer using USB flash drive.

Results from scans

After running ComboFix the hijackthis msi file would not run so I ran the Hijackthis exe file that I had. Attached are the two logs.

We're not dealing with any infection here.
All logs look clean.
I suggest, you repost your issue at Windows section.
