Hi,
Am away from home and ran into a problem where my email, Mozilla Thunderbird would not send/recieve mail and computer would not load certain web pages. Thinking that I had a spyware problem I starting scanning with various programs on my computer: Trend Micro PC-cillan, MalwareBytes&AntiMaleware, and Spybot Search and Destroy. Like an *****, I didn't set a baseline that I could come back to and had the Spybot program remove everything it found.
Then I found Techspot and that great post "Updated 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal instructions. Probably like closing the barn door after the horse has run out, but I went through the steps and am attaching log and txt filies here.
Can someone help me figure out what is wrong, and is there anyway I can fix things other than to save data, and erase and reload computer?
Oh, and the Java update wouldn't load due to error 1721 problem with windows installer package. Java on line help said that this is due to being in safe mode.
Humbly submitted, Elle
