I get continual popups. AdAware, Spybot and Vet antivirus show nothing. I think it may be called Storage Protector. The main popups are four:

Important - Potential Errors found in system
During a scan of files at system startup, potential errors in the system registry were found.
p-07-0100 irql: 1f SYVER 0xff00024
NT_Kernel error 1256

-----------------

Your system could become unstable
A potential problem has been detected and Windows has been [sic] shutdown buggy application to prevent damage to computer. ****WXYZ.SYS -Address F73120AE base at C00000, DateStamp 36b 072A3 Kernel Debugger Using: COM2 (Port 0x28f, Baud rate 192000)

------------------

The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down

A Critical error could occur

Any thoughts on what I should do, please. Here is my hijackthis.log :

hi,

Download combofix from one of these links and save it to Desktop:

http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

as a precaution, before using combofix:
Close any open windows
Close/disable anti virus and any antimalware programs that might have real time protection running.Usually this can be done by clicking on the icons by the clock and selecting exit etc. This is done to prevent any possible interference while Combofix is running. After combofix is done you can restart them.


Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply


Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall

Very many thanks for that. All now seems better. Here's hoping. I have been trying to send you all 550 pages of the report that combofix produced but I have twice been unsuccessful. I have therefore cut out over 540 pages of .tmp file references in the middle of it and am sending just the beginning and ending parts of the report. Here they are:

ok good. one more download to get and use:

download and run vundofix.exe:

http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4

* Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
* Click the Scan for Vundo button.
* Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
* You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
* Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
* When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
* Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.

Vundofix said "No infected files were found" and "Vundo will now close". Here for the record is C:\vundofix.txt

---------------------------
VundoFix V6.7.7

Checking Java version...

Sun Java not detected
Scan started at 10:07:54 AM 24/01/2008

Listing files found while scanning....

No infected files were found.


Beginning removal...
----------------------------

As Vundofix has not had to take any action I assume you don't now need me to send a new HiJackThis log? What is the significance of the warning that I received?: WARNING -THIS MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECOVERY CONSOLE INSTALLED !! Do I need to take any action or was that just part of the Combofix process?

There have been no further popups and the computer is running a lot faster. How do you know these things? I'm very impressed. And I can now show my son that, even though I'm 74, I can nevertheless manage to do things on computers beyond mere word processing and sending e-mails.

one more hjt log would be great

its just a warning, in case the recovery console would have to be used for some reason.

i've been looking at hjt logs for at least 4 years.

your welcome, log looks ok. you can remove combofix like this:

go to start>run and type in combofix /u click ok
note: there is a space after the x in combofix and before the u
you can delete the vundofix icon

new restore point, the why and how:

One of the features of Windows ME or XP is the System Restore option, however if a malware infects a computer with this operating system it can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is a good idea after malware is removed.



To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.



(winXP)



1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point)

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.

Click Properties.

Click the System Restore tab.

Check Turn off System Restore.

Click Apply, and then click OK.



2. Reboot.



3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system)

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.

Click Properties.

Click the System Restore tab.

UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.

Click Apply, and then click OK, then reboot


looks like you are way behind on windows updates. you need to pay a visit to the website and get caught up.

happy safe surfing

All done - successfully, I hope. Yes, I'm behind on windows updates. I re-loaded windows in December and straightaway got the malware so there seemed little point in updating until the problem was removed. That's done now, so I'll update straight away. I'm amazed and delighted. Once again, very many thanks. Keep doing good works.
