Task Manager Not Working

[Sabin07]

My task manager will not open I press Ctrl+Alt+Del but nothing comes up also whenever I turn on my computer the connect to internet window(i have dial-up) pops up automatically it never did this before the window also pops up randomly while I am on my computer also whenever I turn on my computer I get a messege that says b.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close I have done multiple scans with spybot, ad-aware, and norton but they
always turn up nothing. But whenever I do a scan with windows malicious software removal tool it always turns up 2 results which are

Worm:Win32/Alcan.D
Backdoor: Win32/Rbot!934A.dam#4

It says that it partally removes the first one and that it completly removes the second one but everytime I do the scan it always turns up these same results. Does anyone know how to help me get rid of thes problems, any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is a HJT log

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Please rename Hijackthis.exe as per the instructions in the link I gave you, then post a fresh HJT log.

Ok, I think I got everything done right this time.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad). Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

O4 - Global Startup: svchost.exe

O11 - Options group: [INTERNATIONAL] International*

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{211FB20C-39CB-440D-9D26-51DB2D113872}: NameServer = 142.177.1.2 142.177.129.11
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{211FB20C-39CB-440D-9D26-51DB2D113872}: NameServer = 142.177.1.2 142.177.129.11

Only fix the above 017 entries if they don`t belong to your ISP.

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Locate and delete the following bold files and/or directories(if there).

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\svchost.exe<Don`t delete any other svchost.exe file.

Reboot into normal mode, turn system restore back on and rehide your protected OS files.

See if you can open your task manager and post a fresh HJT log.

It looks like I spoke too soon about my computer being fine. Windows malicious software removal tool is still turning up the same 2 results

Worm:Win32/Alcan.D
Backdoor: Win32/Rbot!934A.dam#4

and still says it partially removes the first one and completly removes the second one. And although the connect to internet screen doesn't pop up when I turn on my computer it still pops up randomly

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Ok, let`s see if we can get your system cleaned up.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT and AVG Antispyware logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.
