Please review my info below and recommend next steps.
thanks, allan
Compaq Presario with XP Home SP3 installed
History:
1. Grandma's computer, with expired antivirus for over a year allowed major infestation.
2. Reinstalled XP home and upgraded to SP3 on new partition C but unfortunately left D partition presario_RP alone.
3. Reinstalled Avast from scratch, but on reboots, get turned off. scan is clean and boot-time scan found nothing.
4. Ran malwarebytes and found nothing
5. Ran Rkill.com/exe/scr and found nothing
6. Ran exehelper with no results
7. Ran combofix with the results noted below. I noticed the autorun.inf deletion and thought I found the culprit, but still have the problem.
8. Ran eset NOD32 and found nothing.
9. Installed zonealarm to monitor things until we get to the bottom of this.
Suggestions?
