my computer was recently infected somehow, but I don't know where it came from. My Task Manager wouldn't open(when I tried the icon would appear in the quick launch tool bar but the window would never come up) and I could not log off, turn off, or restart my computer without manually pushing the button on the box. When I tried booting in safe mode, nothing but the black background with [safe mode] in the corners showed up(i.e. no icons or taskbar). If I booted in safe mode twice in a row it would work though (turn the computer on, boot in safe mode and it wouldn't work the first time. I would manually turn the computer off and turn it on again, and booting from safe mode the second time would work. it would never work booting in safe mode after a normal boot though). On one boot, my dock didn't show up, but it usually did. I also had trouble updating my security software and running scans.
I went through all of the steps in the 8 preliminary removal steps thread and now I'm not having anymore problems. I am posting the logs anyway, just to be sure.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron with a Core2Duo and Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
Thanks in advance for any help. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know.
