    That's fine.

    One question.
    I can see, you're running pretty old Norton's version. Are you still getting updates for that program?

    How is computer doing at the moment?

    1. Download Security Check from HERE, and save it to your Desktop.
    • Double-click SecurityCheck.exe
    • Follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
    • A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

      NOTE SecurityCheck may produce some false warning(s), so leave the results reading to me.


    2. Download Temp File Cleaner (TFC)
    • Double click on TFC.exe to run the program.
    • Click on Start button to begin cleaning process.
    • TFC will close all running programs, and it may ask you to restart computer.


    3. Please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner

    • Disable your antivirus program
    • Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use
    • Click Start
    • IMPORTANT! UN-check Remove found threats
    • Accept any security warnings from your browser.
    • Check Scan archives
    • Click Start
    • ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
    • When the scan completes, push List of found threats
    • Click on Export to text file , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
    • NOTE. If Eset won't find any threats, it won't produce any log.

    You need to update IE to at least ver. 7.
    You need to install Service Pack 3.
    Both, very important!

    ========================================================================

    Your computer is clean [IMG]

    1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point, using following OTL script:

    Run OTL

    • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following:

    Code:
    :OTL
    :Commands
    [purity]
    [emptytemp]
    [EMPTYFLASH]
    [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
    [Reboot]
    • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
    • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
    • Post resulting log.

    2. Now, we'll remove all tools, we used during our cleaning process

    Clean up with OTL:

    • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
    • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
    • On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
    • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

    If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

    3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current (including SP3!!)

    4. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

    5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

    6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

    7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

    8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.

    9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker.
    The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

    10. Run defrag at your convenience.

    11. Read How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html

    12. Please, let me know, how is your computer doing.

    I had installed SP3 previously and had problems with wireless internet; it doesn't pick up any networks in range. As soon as I rolled it back, the problems with the wireless went away.

    On your request, I reinstalled it and the same wireless problem returned. Any suggestions?
  5. Broni Malware Annihilator

    We'll try to fix it. SP3 is a must.

    I assume, we're dealing with laptop here, correct?
    If so, what brand and model?
    Will wired connection work?
    Do you have any errors in Device Manager?

    =======================================================================

    With wireless button ON (very important!)...

    1. Click Start>Run (Start>"Start search" in Vista).

    2. Type in (or copy and paste):

    cmd /c ping google.com>%temp%\$.$&notepad %temp%\$.$

    and press Enter.

    3. Notepad will open.

    4. Copy all text in Notepad ([Ctrl-A], then [Ctrl-C]), and then post it (paste = [Ctrl-V]) in your next reply.

    ***********************************************

    Go Start>Run ("Start search" in Vista), type in:
    cmd
    Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

    At Command Prompt, paste this:
    ipconfig /all>c:\ipconfig_all.txt&notepad c:\ipconfig_all.txt&exit
    Hit Enter.

    Copy and paste what you see in Notepad into a Reply here.
  6. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    It is a IBM Thinkpad T42.
    A wired connection does work though I don't have access to one at this time.
    One error in an unknown device, my wireless adapter is fine.

    Ping
    Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again.

    IPconfig
    Windows IP Configuration

    An Internal error occured: The operation completed successfully.

    When I try to release my IP I get:
    IP Address for adapter Wireless Network Connection 4 has already been released.

    When I try to renew I get:
    An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection 4: The DHCP client has obtained an IP address that is already in use on the network. The local interface will be disabled until the DHCP client can obtain a new address.
  7. Broni Malware Annihilator

    No, you're not doing, what I asked for.

    Go Start>Run ("Start search" in Vista), type in:
    cmd
    Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

    At Command Prompt, paste this:
    ipconfig /all>c:\ipconfig_all.txt&notepad c:\ipconfig_all.txt&exit
    Hit Enter.

    Copy and paste what you see in Notepad into a Reply here.

    ====================================================================

    I'd also like to know, what that unknown device is.

    1. Open Device Manager (Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager)
    2. The hardware whose drivers are missing will appear as Unknown device, so it's easier to locate the device.
    3. Right click on the unknown device and click on Properties.
    4. Under the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id (or Device Instance Path) from the drop down box.
    5. You should see a code similar to this

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DC&SUBSYS_30868086
    &REV_01\4&1E46F438&0&40F0

    6. The portion of the code highlighted in RED is the Vendor ID and the portion highlighted in GREEN is the Device ID. In this example:

    Vendor ID = 8086
    Device ID = 27DC

    7. Once you have obtained both the IDs, proceed to PCI Database. There you can either search for the vendor from the vendor ID or directly get information about the device along with the vendor name by searching with the device ID.

    8. Then from there you can go directly to the hardware manufactureres website and get the driver.
  8. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    When I type in the command you gave me, all I get is an empty .txt file. I wrote what happens if I just type 'ipconfig /all':
    An Internal error occured: The operation completed successfully.
    Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.
    Additional information: Unknown media status code.

    For the unknown device, in the Device Instance ID only the following is written
    ROOT\*PNP0501\0000
  9. Broni Malware Annihilator

    The likely problem is a wired network adapter that isn't connected, and as a result has been automatically Disabled in Network Connections by its network driver, while still being enabled in Device Manager.

    Try couple of workarounds and then try my command again...

    1. (Verified)
    1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections, and for
    any wired network adapters that are Disabled:
    2. Right-click on My Computer, and click Manage to start Device
    Manager
    3. Disable wired Network Adapters that are disabled in Network
    Connections
    4. Run IPCONFIG as desired
    5. Re-Enable wired network adapters in Device Manager

    2. (Verified)
    1. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools
    2. Double-click Services
    3. Scroll down to Routing and Remote Access
    4. If Routing and Remote Access is Disabled, change it to
    Manual
    5. Start Routing and Remote Access, or Stop and Re-Start it if
    it's already running
  10. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    Nothing doing for either:
    The Network adapter was already disabled, I toggled it with no luck.
    Routing and Remote Access was Disabled, I changed it to manual and still nothing.
  11. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    So I didn't start the Routing and Remote Access. Now I get the following:

  12. Broni Malware Annihilator

    OK, your IP configuration is definitely messed up.

    Let's try some basic steps...

    Make sure, your computer is set to obtain IP address automatically.
    1. Go Start>Settings>Control Panel (Vista/7 users: Start>Control Panel)
    2. Double click Network Connections (Vista/7 users: Network and Sharing Center)
    3. Vista/7 users - From the list of tasks on the left, click Manage network connections.
    4. For a wired network connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and then select Properties.
    For a wireless network connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and then select Properties.
    5. From the General tab (Vista/7 users: Networking tab), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), make sure it is checked, and then click Properties
    6. Click Obtain an IP Address Automatically, and then click OK.

    If that doesn't work...
    Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 1 minute. At the same time disconnect ethernet cable as well.
    Reconnect everything.
    Restart computer.

    If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

    If that doesn't work...
    Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
    cmd
    Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

    In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /registerdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    net stop "dns client"
    net start "dns client"


    Restart computer.

    If that doesn't work...
    Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
    cmd
    Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

    At Command Prompt, type in:
    netsh int ip reset reset.log
    Hit Enter.
    Type in:
    netsh winsock reset catalog
    Hit Enter.

    Restart computer.


    If that doesn't work...
    Download, install, and run WinSockFix: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml (doesn't work in Vista)
    Restart computer, and check again.

    If that doesn't work...
    Download Dial-A-Fix (DAF) (doesn't work in Vista):
    http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix#Mirrors.2Fdownload_locations.2C_and_articles

    Have XP CD available in case DAF needs a file. Likely not!

    Check all boxes on the screen (clear any restrictions if it shows any)
    Then click GO!

    When the entire page is finished click the HammerHead at bottom to go to the second DAF page.

    Here, one at a time, do the below:

    Reinstall BITS
    Reinstall Windows Firewall
    Repair Permissions
    Reset networking

    Watch for any File not found or other errors and make note as this may lead to the fix!

    Restart computer.
  13. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    I didn't do anything with direct LAN connection because I only have access to wireless at the minute...

    The following command was not found: int ip reset reset.log

    error in dail-a-fix 2147467259 while trying to unregister C:\windows\system32\msxml3.dll

    I did everything front to back and still the same problem: No wireless networks were found in range.
  14. Broni Malware Annihilator

  15. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    That got it to detect wireless networks but when connecting I cannot get past 'Acquiring Network Address'.
    It just sits and loops.
  16. Broni Malware Annihilator

    It looks like we had a driver problem to start with.

    Now, go through steps from my reply #32 one more time.
  17. Nomad607 Newcomer, in training

    After the work week was done, the last time through worked like a charm! Thanks for your help!
  18. Broni Malware Annihilator

    Great news :)

    Good luck and stay safe :)
