Well I had what I thought was just a startup problem after running malwarebytes but I think it may be more... my original message from the OS forum
If an admin would like to combine the posts and delete the quote be my guest.
Well I ran malwarebytes again and it found something even though my computer apparently was not able to connect to the internet. super antispyware found nothing and when I try to run trend micro pccillin (which is oudated since my trial ran out last august) it says it cant run. I tried to instal AVG but it said i should remove my previous antivirus before and when I tried it said it could not be done. I was able to install HJT however I have no clue what to check to clean if anyone can look through my log I also included the most recent malwarebytes log.
so no one can help me?
well update even though it said I shouldn't install it until I remove my previous antivirus I went ahead and installed avg and it caught quite a few tihngs so I restarted and everything was still the same. However this time when I tried to use system restore it worked and I actually had sound again although my network still didn't work, so I reran everything and caught a bunch of things and it asked me to restart again and when I did it was back to the same thing no sound no network no desktop icons no start menu and the init32.exe error. So I tried to restore again this time the restore failed but all of a sudden my internet worked so I hurried and updated avg and avg kept catching infections after the update however it was catching weird infection constantly it said programs that I've had on my computer and know are clean are infected so now I'm confused, I figured something else had gone wrong and quickly restarted my computer in safe mode and I'm running everything again. Can no one help me? Im a poor college student and cant afford professional help.
So recently my computer (XP sp3) was hit hard by a bunch of spyware over a couple of days, I ran malwarebytes and it asked me to reboot to finish cleaning and when it did my start menu and desktop icons did not show up and I would get an error message saying init32.exe had to be shut down and if I wanted to send an error report and I hit yes and it seemed to send however nothing else seemed to happen. Then by using task manager and selecting new task explorer.exe my icons and start menu would pop up however my internet and sound would not work. I used system restore and finally found one that allowed my internet to work and then reran malwarebytes and super antispyware and it asked me to restart which I did and then the same thing would happen. I tried system restore again however now it wouldnt let me go back as far as I did before It only allows me one restore on feb 3rd I tried it however after it restarts it says the restore did not work. I keep running super antispyaware and malwarebytes however it says my computer is clean however I havent been able to update them, so Im not sure if something else is wrong thats either unrelated or that occured as a result of the cleaning or system restore. I have ran both scans and system restore in normal and safe mode.
Thanks ahead of time I'm totally stumped and need my pc asap for school.
