Re: PC ISSUE

PF .... you should be able to open those by clicking the plus - that will tell you the location - prob in registry. Then MANUALLY delete - dont fix with SpyBot.

Re: PC ISSUE

Well at least I have now found the registry string that is preventing security centre from running.

Yes Ill use regedit and delete them manually.

Re: PC ISSUE

download malwarebytes Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download
and/or spybot search and destroy The home of Spybot-SD!

run both in safe mode!!

basically you have 'malware' on your machine.
AV will not catch it no matter WHAT one you use.

it will most likely be something you have inadvertantly clicked "ok" on ..

without knowing which one you have, I cannot help any more.

if you are feeling up to it you can go through the registry and delete the relevant keys to do with browser search bar ......

for a test open windows explorer . type Google into that window ..

note windows explorer NOT INTERNET EXPLORER

Re: PC ISSUE

Comodo USED to be a good AV, until they started filling it with bloat.

sadly now it crashes and messes up with 99% of soundblaster audigy cards
99 % of gaming graphics cards
doesnt really like XP or Vista
*sigh* shame it started off as a good project.

--> look up stevieb on the forums *if* they havent deleted my posts over there

Re: PC ISSUE

Re: PC ISSUE

Ok these are the messages I got

Dad, if any MSE was actually any good, the computer would not have become infected in the first place, im running comodo on all 3 computers that I have in my bedroom, and guess what? I havn't had a single infection.

MSE was unable to even function with the infection you have.

up until i installed mse a few months back I had never run a proactive AV and have only ever had one bad virus on my machines. in about too many years of using pcs.

Virus's are only able to infect your pc IF you do not use common sense.

the tax man will not send you a zip file for your tax return
the banks will not send you an email to change your password in a popup box
you will never win the dutch/nigerian/english lottery if you havent entered
microsoft cannot connect to your pc via a phone call
opening links from msn/facebook/yahoo/aim/or whatever social messenger you wish to use, unless you are 100% certain you can trust the person who sent it or know the site, DONT DO IT!

spybot S&D result log

Re: PC ISSUE

Shall I run spybot and malwarebytes in safe mode again just to make sure?

[oscar]

Re: PC ISSUE

malware bytes runs well in normal mode ...... but if finds anything, I would be tempted to run it then in safe mode to delete anything it finds.

Re: PC ISSUE

Here you go as requested:

Kaspersky is only installed once and it is disabled as there is no uninstaller to uninstall it

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: PC ISSUE

Mate from the first image (the others are ok) - please clarify

1. Do you actually use/need Akami NetSession (do you even know what it is? lol)
2. Get rid of Belarc Advisor - no need for that third party!
3. Take out the three comodo items

Basically remove all the above (run as admininstrator) - please send a new screen print of the first image once you rebooted....

Reboot, see what happens
