Regarding Security Programs: Lack of internet does not prevent you from uninstalling outdated programs:

Please uninstall the following
Java(TM) 6 Update 22
Java(TM) 6 Update 7
Adobe Reader 7.0 [/b]

Please update the following as soon as able:
1. Java(TM)> Java Updates
2. Adobe Reader> Adobe Reader Update or try
3. FoxIt Reader: As an alternative PDF Reader HERE.
This is a much smaller program, without bloat which allows you to do the same as Adobe. When you see the Foxit Reader Install Wizard below:
unchecktomakeAskasdefaultsearchprovider_thumb.png

make sure you do the following:
  • Uncheck "make Ask my browser default search provider.
  • Uncheck "Set Ask.com as my homepage."
  • Click on Decline to prevent the Foxit Search Bar, also from Ask.com,from installing
  • Installation will then continue
You can then uninstall the Adobe Reader in Add/Remove Programs and delete it's program folder and files in Windows Explorer.
4. Firefox> Update to latest Firefox v3.6 through Tools> Update (I think it's 3.6.19 -or- update to new Firefox v4.
 
ok, i'll do those tonight, anything else you can suggest while i'm at uni

----------------

OK, I'll do it tonight, the CD's i use to store the programs became magnetised and i couldn't write to them, what's worse it was at 8 PM before i found out.
 
also i noticed something on the Microsoft updates page, I'm going try running a malicious software removal tool after I've ran the TDSS killer, might get lucky with it.

OK, I'll post the logs when i next have access to the internet.
 
I'm going try running a malicious software removal tool after I've ran the TDSS killer,

Please observe the following:
Please do not use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you, unless I direct you to. Do not use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
 
OK, didn't get chance to run it anyway, but i did run the TDSS killer, it found nothing, oddly enough, also i tried to remove java and adobe and weirdly enough i got the message,

when removing from add or remove:- windows installer failed to start, this could be due to safe mode or that the installer isn't properly installed. (yet i was able to use add/remove a week ago. while in safe mode.)
adobe:- the system admin has set up policies to prevent this installation. (no i haven't, i don't know where that came from.)
java:- (not a valid system 32 file (Wha???)

here's the log from the TDSSkiller (i think, had to manually request it from the program, since it stated my PC was clean.)

ofcorse looking at the log here, i have an AMD athlon duel core 5200+ processor, not intel...
 
it's odd how it didn't find anything, is it possible that the virus has been removed but it has left damage that may be causing the same simptoms?

or possible a bad windows update?

simptoms:-
can only open applications that open on boot.
no access to the internet. (browsers won't start and virus scanners lock up.)
over time PC comes to a crawl.
 
when removing from add or remove:- windows installer failed to start, this could be due to safe mode or that the installer isn't properly installed. (yet i was able to use add/remove a week ago. while in safe mode.)
Some programs require the Windows Installer to remove> the ones that have used it to install them originally.

We've been at this for a while. Please give me a status update on the malware related problem now. Do not include the problem with Windows Updates and don't be concerned about the at this time.

The following are system related, not malware related:
simptoms:-
can only open applications that open on boot.
no access to the internet. (browsers won't start and virus scanners lock up.)
over time PC comes to a crawl.
 
that's the thing, it all started with AVG giving me a FP and me swaping it for avast, i have no idea what it might be because all the scanners say i have nothing, but the scans you've asked me to run have said that they removed some form of infection and that it's in the logs, but there's no change on asccess to the internet or the system status...

the most recent scan i did stated i was clean but it still acts like it dose. i don't know what else to put because there are no apparnt effects other than the one's i have listed.
 
Okay, I've gone back over all of the logs and your comments and here's what I see:

1. Problem began when you got the Sims pack, which was followed by AVG Win32/Heur alert:> FP
2. Three of the Sims 2 you have do not have the trademark. They show like this:
The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff
The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff
The Sims 2 Open For Business
Instead of all the others like this: The Sims showing the TradeMark. Was the download source or site different?

3. Please explain what this 'one-time' refers to:
i can't reinstall because of the one - time codes for a few of my applications.
4. Running in Safe Mode is actually self-imposed, is it not:
i can boot normally, but my PC slows very quickly,
and also
my PC locks if i try to access Mozilla,
Have you tried using Internet Explorer? What happens?

however i can still get in to safe mode and the computer runs at full speed,
This happens because many processes do not load in Safe Mode:

5. So you can actually use Safe Mode for Diagnostics:
Boot into Safe Mode
  • Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.
  • Select the Safe Mode option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
If a symptom does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and minimum device drivers as possible causes. If a newly added device or a changed driver is causing problems, you can use safe mode to remove the device or reverse the change.

Using Safe Mode to determine a basic source of a problem:The choices:
  • Safe Mode:
    [o]Loads the minimum set of device drivers (serial or PS/2 mouse devices, standard keyboards, hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and standard VGA devices)and system services required to start Windows XP/2000/2003.(Event Log, Plug and Play, RPCs and Logical Disk Manager.
    [o] User specific startup programs do not run. This is helpful in determining whether problems are due to specific programs.
  • Safe Mode with Networking: Includes the services and drivers needed for network connectivity.
    [o] Safe mode with networking enables logging on to the network, logon scripts, security, and Group Policy settings.
    [o] Nonessential services and startup programs not related to networking do not run.
    [o]Helpful if needed but should be used with caution as the security programs don't load in this mode.
  • Safe Mode with Command Prompt: Starts the computer in safe mode, but displays the command prompt rather than the Windows GUI interface.
  • Last Known Good Configuration: which starts your computer using the registry information that was saved at the last shutdown.

So by using the different options of Safe Mode, you can sometimes determine what the area of problem is- and isn't.
==============================================
Did you clean the flash drive?
==============================================
I'd like to run one particular scan:Bootkit Remover:

Download bootkitremover.rar and save to your desktop.
  1. Extract the remover.exe file from the RAR using a program capable of extracting RAR compressed files. (Use 7-Zip if you don't have an extraction program, )
  2. Double-click on the remover.exe file to run the program.
    NOTE: The tool should be run from a command line with Administrator privileges.
  3. Scanning should be completed quickly
  4. Paste the output in your next reply.
=====================================
 
1. not exactly, i had the pack for a while, at least 2 months or so. i know this because I installed it before swapping towers. (graphics card was to big for the tower. so if i wanted 2 i had to transfer everything to the new tower, worth the cut on my hand i got moving parts.)

2. those packs i know are authentic because i had to put the product code in to install, but i did get them from Amazon, but again I ordered them new and from a reputable source that i have used many times before. but I think i will look at the boxes and disks tonight, just to make sure.(i registered the products online after installing - EA stated there authentic)

3. ah, the one time reference. me and my girlfriend have a wii and we sometimes use code junkies wii game save app to get a game save for when we have a big group of people over. this is so everything is unlocked and there's no restriction of choice. this is the second copy i had, even though i have reinstalled once before I didn't remove the product code from the app so the people at code junkies state the code is in use, on a PC system that no longer exists, after a lenthly take they stated there was nothing they could do to rectify it.

also, not all my sims 2 apps have been registered online, the one's i bought online have to make sure they where the legal copy, but ones bought from game, gamestation and HMV arn't because i know there legal and the trademarked version. in short i don't want to risk having to buy them again to install them.

to add on i also have some apps where i need information, as you can see in the logs i have oblivion and dragon age and mod managers for both of them, in my pc's current state i can't open them and thus can't access the data to know what mods I have active and what are broken.

4. my mistake, what i meant was that when i chose not to boot in safe mode that it can boot normally but it slows down soon after accessing my account.

again i think i didn't make myself clear, if i try to say run firefox or any application that isn't already open on startup whatever i used to access the app freezes up, for instance if i run a folder window, c:\program files\mozilla\firefox.exe when i double click on the exe file the folder browser i'm using freezes and the application never runs, if i try the start menu the start menu freeze and if i try the shortcut on the desktop the entire desktop becomes none responsive. same for the shortcut on the start menu toolbar.

this in not restricted to mozilla but every application on the PC, (spybot, malware, word, windows picture viewer.) anything that wasn't opened at the start-up.

5. i've booted in both safe mode and safemode with networking and both are ok, i used flash drive disinfector but i'll run this new program tonight.

looking back i remember that i could still boot normally even when AVG was flagging the FP, is it possible that avast could be the cause? could it be damaging my system when it ran a boot scan? because it did state files where corrupted which i found odd.

OK, looked, sims packs from Amazon are legal and where sent from the Amazon.co.uk store.

i've had them on my pc for months so i didn't suspect they would be the cause.

I've ran what i did the day before all this happened and something ran through my head as possible. this is what i did.

my usual schedual is to start the PC in the morning before uni, run spybot, have it finish then run malware and avg side by side (fully updated.)

my girlfriend rang me at uni and told me avg pick up something, i accessed the web here and found it to be a FP. (this is the sims 2 win32/heur)

when i got home i looked at the file and realised it was AVG being *****ic, so i moved it out of the virus vault and added an aception. i restarted my pc and then ran the scan again, even with the exception AVG still insisted it was a FP, i looked on the web more then made an exception for the whole folder and the specific file, restarted then scanned, still AVG picked it up.

by this point i was sick to death with the amount of crap AVG had thrown at me over the years and had enough, i used Mozilla to access the web and downloaded avast, disconnected from the internet, UN-installed AVg and installed AVAST.everything seamed to go well, until tomorrow morning when i tried to run spy bot and the system locked. (the task bar locked since that's where i tried to run the short cut for spybot like normal.)

so it could be that either there was a virus set to attack once i removed my virus scanner that two up to date scanners couldn't pick up, or can it be possible that avast is causing all this??? could it be conflicting with something AVG left behind.

on top of that, sevral people have stated that they are suffering from similar problems.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=72158.msg602031

"I attempted to install v6 Pro on WinXP SP3 [edit: after using 4.8 for years]. The install went OK, and Avast appeared to work afterward. But after rebooting, the Avast service and many others refused to start, and even the taskbar wouldn't appear. It turns out that something about Avast prevented the RPC service from starting, which then caused most or all or the other problems.

I tried the troubleshooting/load Avast after other services option, but it made no difference.

After several reboots, including install/uninstall cycles, I uninstalled V6 and installed V5 [Edited to add: 5.0.545], which works OK. I ran a full scan (and a boot-time scan, too) with a current VPS, but Avast found no viruses."

"I think i have the same problem as you. After the update the computer would load normally up till it loaded itself then none of my other taskbar items would load then the whole computer would freeze up. Unistalled and computer returned to normal.
WinXP SP3 and zonealarm"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i downloaded version 6 from the site and these problems are almost identical to mine. if it truly is AVAST then installing an older version could be the key.

i'll wait for your response to see if you think i should try this. although i have a strong gut feeling that this could be the answer, mainly because after going back over what happen AVAST is the only anomaly that can be unacounted for.
 
Well, my hair stood up on end when I read this: "added an aception."[/b] I took that to mean you added Win32/Heur as thee exception! Or please undo that if it's what you did! Win32/Heur is a very valid infection. And when AVG finds it, it can be an indication of a more serious infection such as the file infector, Virut

So under no circumstances do you want to exclude it! Unfortunately, AVG puts out some bad updates, first alarming all their users that thy have this and then annoying them because this time it was a FP. But it does not mean that next time would also mean it was a FP!

I would like to comment on this:
my usual schedual is to start the PC in the morning before uni, run spybot, have it finish then run malware and avg side by side (fully updated.)
If you have adequate and good, layered security on the system, you don't need to run Spybot S&D, Mbam and a virus scan every day.

A good, well configured antivirus program, a good, well configured bi-directional firewall like Comodo or ZoneAlarm and 2 or more antimalware programs like Spywareblaster and Spybot S&D should allow you to use the system with confidence, running only weekly scans. And I wouldn't use Mbam regularly.

"Assuming" your internet surfing habits have you only going to Safe Sites (Using Site Advisor like WOT), a good popup blocker, blocking third party Cookies and practicing safe email handling of not opening unknown email or attachments should allow you to enjoy the computer without too much paranoia!

Of course, it goes without saying the you do regular maintenance like delete temporary internet files, error check and defrag and set you own restore points occasionally.

I'll be back after a lunch break to review the Avast info you left. And I have link for free programs in all the areas I mentioned.
 
i'm currently on my pc... after removing avast and installing it's older 5.0.545 version, everything is back to normal... only problem is i can't register the older product.

might reinstall AVG to see if they have solved the problem.

i must thank you though, if it wasn't for all those logs and scans and nothing turning up i would have still been thinking it was a virus. now i know diffrent thanks to you. because of all those logs i started to question my opwn actions when i was angry, thanks.

currently there are major problems with avast version 6 and XP so if i don't get a licence key for this in about 30 days i'll have to install something else, any suggestions??
 
and now, the registration key for the older version is not working.

methinks i should switch back to AVG till they sort out version 6, not to sure it's a good idea to have an AV program that won't register.
 
gonna run some scans tomorow, if everything looks ok, then it's been cured. i can't half thank you enouth for the ammount of time you've helped me on this, i'm sorry that it was my own anger at AVG that started it. but thanks, without all those scans, i would have still thought it a virus. thankyou. i'll give you the heads up on tomorows scans, if you want me to do any other scans before i start the system restore again give me a heads up.
 
I had previously read in the Avast forum about many going back from v6 to v5.xxx. If you can resolve that one, suggest use free and good Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus

When the security program upgrade their engines- not updates> such as v5 to v6, I've seen many go downhill. The engine is a major upgrade while an update is usually done for security purposes on the same engine. In my opinion, when AVG upgraded from v7 or v7.5 to v8, they ruined what had been a good AV program. And now they are up to AVG 2011 and still having massive problems. I don't recommend AVG to anyone any more.

But basic security should be layered: one AV, one Firewall and two or more antimalware programs, combining Real Time security with one that runs in the background such as Spywareblaster.
======================================
Are you able to boot into Normal Mode now?
Can you use Firefox to surf? If not, what happens? Did you try Internet Explorer.
Leaving you only in Safe Mode is not the way to finish> if you slow down drastically in either browser, try removing the addons through Tools. You can then put them back on one at a time until you determine if one of them is causing the slowdowns. By the number, I don't see an excess, but one ot more could be resource intensive.
=====================================
You need to run an online virus scan> either of the following:

Eset:
Run Eset NOD32 Online AntiVirus scan HEREhttp://www.eset.eu/online-scanner
  1. Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  2. Click Start
  3. When asked, allow the Active X control to install
  4. Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notification Tray icon near the clock.
  5. Click Start
  6. Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Unchecked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked
  7. Click Scan
  8. Wait for the scan to finish
  9. Click on "Copy to Clipboard"> (you won't see the 'clipboard')
  10. Click anywhere in the post where you want the logs to go, the do Ctrl V. The log will be sent from the clipboard and pasted in the post.
  11. Re-enable your Antivirus software.
    NOTE: If you forget to copy to the clipboard you can find the log here:
    C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please include this on your post.

ok, i'll do that once i'm home, my grilfriend rang me up and said AVG found a currupted file, i'll post the file name and logs once i get home and run the online scans (it's good to get my PC back.) on the plus side, i also just aced a resit with 100% so my scoure could mostlikly be 90% for the 10% penalty.
 
corrupted file was a system restore that avast made when it was installed.
