All my system fonts are in wingding or something similar. Before I would get random reboots and blue screens Stop: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly with the status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000)
the system has been shutdown. Any ideas from the logs?
 
Re-Install your Windows disk in R for repair mode, not R for Repair Console, and you will likely clear up the problem
Be sure to back up your data.
 
It should. It may not. It is the first step, in my opinion, in returning the system to normal. Installing Windows in repair mode, repairs all the basic problems in windows. It does NOT do everything. For instance, it will wipe out any added service packs and Windows updates, but that is a good thing when your system is in need of rehabilitation.
If it doesn't work, that tells you a lot, as well.
 
ok, I'l try that soon as i get home from the hospital in the next few days. Any other tips strategies I can do after that? I got a day or 2 before I can get to it, so I'd like to have my gameplan layed out.
 
HI ericcothran

Before you do anything i'd strongly advise you first wait for the opinion from one of the malware experts.

Raybay is not a malware expert. (nor am I, which is why i didn't try advising you in the first place)... but i will tell you I see what i believe are suspicous entries in your logfiles. So... best not to do anything yet.

There's a shortage of malware helpers at the moment and since all advice here is done on a volunteer basis, responses tend to be slower on the weekends. But i'll try to steer someone your way to have a look.

Just one example from your logs
Code:
Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\Notify\vckwxkrh
vckwxkrh is not a name of any valid program i know of.. but IMHO it's the type of name a malware infection would create!
 
Eric I have looked at the logs. You have malware and I will help you to clean up the system.

You told us you cannot do anything for a couple of days, but you started 4 different thread, one asking why no one has helped you yet.

When you get home from the hospital, please rescan with all three programs. Update Malwarebytes and Superantispyware first. Then ATTACH those 2 logs.

Rescan with HijackThis and PASTE in the new log.

All of this goes into this thread in your next reply. We will go from there. Do not bump a thread for attention. I have asked the moderator to remove the other threads.
 
I can't make out avast enough to run it cause of the fonts, here is what i have so far:

Last time I got on it mozzila would not even open, it would be an immediate crash. I also would like to apologize for the multiple threads, my wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer and she had surgery this past weekend, I've been on the edge here lately (a 2month old and 2year old don't make it better). I was sitting in the hospital and going crazy. I'll keep checking back for an update on directions and thanks for looking into it.
 
Eric, please accept my apology. Sometimes our own frustrations come out at the wrong time. I wish the best for your wife. My daughter went through that so I know the extra weight that the family members must carry. The two little ones will run you ragged but are probably enjoying having you to themselves.

I'll be back later this afternoon for the logs and hopefully with answer to my consult.
 
Okay, Eric, let's do this:

TFC (Temp File Cleaner)

Download TFC to your desktop
  • Open the file and close any other windows.
  • It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Click the Start button to begin the process. The program should not take long to finish its job
  • Once its finished it should reboot your machine, if not, do this yourself to ensure a complete clean

TFC only cleans temp folders. TFC will not clean URL history, prefetch, or cookies. Depending on how often someone cleans their temp folders, their system hardware, and how many accounts are present, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more. TFC will completely clear all temp files where other temp file cleaners may fail. TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.

TFC (Temp File Cleaner) will clear out all temp folders for all user accounts (temp, IE temp, java, FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), including Administrator, All Users, LocalService, NetworkService, and any other accounts in the user folder.

Please run an on-line virus scan at Kaspersky OnLine Scan or if that doesnt work, you can use TrendMicro or BitDefender. (Please post the results of the scan(s) in your next reply)

If you are unable to run the activeX Antivirus Scanners, lets try this Java based solution from Trend Micro.

Attach Kaspersky log.

Rescan with HijackThis and paste log in next reply.
 
Kaspersky OnLine Scan wasn't available, but I did a full scan with housecall from Trend Micro and found nothing. My fonts are back to normal now, so thats good. Here is my latest HJT file let me know if anything suspect is still on it.
 
Okay, looks good. you may never know where the Wingdings came from- sometime it only takes a rboot to solve the wacky ptoblerms. If you are not ahveing any other problems, you can remove the cleaning tools:

Remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created
  • Download OTCleanIt by OldTimer
  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click OTCleanIt.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.

You should now set a new Restore Point to prevent infection from any previous Restore Points. The easiest and safest way to do this is:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
  • Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the Restore Point a name then click "Create". The new Restore Point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
  • Go to "Disk Cleanup" which can be found by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.
  • Click "OK" to select the partition or drive you want.
  • Click the "More Options" Tab.
  • Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous Restore Points except the newly created one. More details and screenshots for Disk Cleanup in Windows Vista can be found here.

Use a good, bi-directional firewall(one software firewall)
Consider these programs for Extra Security
  • Spywareblaster:
  • SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX. It places kill bits to stop bad Active X controls from being installed. Remember to update it regularly.
  • IE/Spyad
  • This places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts files This replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
  • Google Toolbar Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. I wish the best for your wife.
 
I think I know what did the fonts.i tried out ccleaner again and noticed alot of fonts i it to be cleaned, don'tknow why. I saved the registry files and restored them afterI noticed it did it again. So far I dont have anymore random reboots and those tools and you have been very helpful, I thank you. Also, we heard from my wife's Dr. and they believe they got al the cancer on her surgery so things are going our way for once. I'll probably just keep those programs and run them every so often, except for ccleaner, lol. Again thank you and God bless
 
That is good news! I wish her good health in the future.

You might want to remove the cleaning tools for now- the removal includes the logs they have made. Then occasionally, you could download an run one. If you keep the basic security> one antivirus, one firewall and two or more spyware/adware programs on the system, you shouldn't need the 'heavier' cleaning programs.

By the way, I forgot to tell you to Empty the Recycle Bin
