All sorts of malware/trojan issues I believe (HJT log inside)

2 more things you can do.

Do another hijackthis scan and place a check next to this item and then click on fix checked.

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)


Another issue i saw was that the computer is running a very old version of Java. Please unistall any and all old versions using add/remove programs and then install the newest version here.

The owner of the system really should install at least another 512mb of memory to speed up his system. With it only having 256mb and most likely having onboard video that doesn't leave much for the system. Thats the main reason the computer is slow.
 
OK So how do I know if I still have stuff floating around?

Just installed avira antivir and it found a tr/crypt.xpack.gen-trojan I think.
Seems like every time I scan I find something new lol.

Well, if combofix would work, we would be able to know but according to the latest hijackthis log, the system is clean. All you need to do is the steps I told you do in my last post.

Antivirus scanners will usually find something that the malware programs won't and vice versa. its always best to run them together.

Alrighty well I will run a couple more scans. Hey thanks a lot for your help.
 
Also are you running any firewall software or hardware such as a router? And do you have anti-spyware installed?

I am, but am afraid he isn't. I believe it was coming straight out of the modem and his only defense was windows firewall, if it was enabled...

I will be putting something on there before I give it back however.

For a great firewall i recommend Comodo, i use it myself it and works great.

Also you need a real time anti-spyware, keep in mind that Malwarebytes' is only an on demand scanner unless you pay for the real time. For anti-spyware i recommend Spybot Search & Destroy.

Are you running Firefox on this computer? If you aren't i recommend getting it it's better then IE by a long shot also if you decide to get Firefox it's best getting these two add ons; Ad Block Plus and WOT (Web Of Trust)
 
Yeah I know all about firefox :D

Also could combofix not running right be because I never installed the recovery console?

EDIT-so combofix just ran and didn't give me that error, but rather at the same spot decided to restart my computer.
and its trying to post the report, just got the findstr error again, but I will leave it go all night and hopefully it will post up a report so I can be sure this is all gone.
