setup on start up &no task mgr

deluci

New Member
hi, i was hoping someone could help me with a problem:
when i firt turn on my computer the first thing that comes up on my desktop is a setup window, asking me to setup (im not sure what, it doesnt say, and even if i press continue, it wont even instal any thing), also when i press control--alt--deleat, i can no longer get mt task manager to come up. this all happened since yesterday ...out of nowhere it seems. any ideas on what could cause this problem?
here is my system:
asus p4800se mobo
intel p4 3.0
windows xp
1.5 gigs ram
40 gig hd
120gig hd; on raid
 
What is the setup window asking you for? Have you recently installed new programs? For example anit-spyware/firewall programs etc...
We need a little more info..
 
Can you post HJ log? From the sounds of things, something got thrown in your startup options and if ctrl/alt/dlt is disabled, im thinking some sort of spyware/virus. Try this:

click start>run> type msconfig

in the startup tab, look for suspicious startup processes. my guess is msconfig is disabled as well. Keep us updated.
 
re

the setup menue simply says "welcome to setup wizard, it is recomended that you close all other applications befor continuing" thats it. if i continue, an error message comes up: "setup cannot continue on windows nt based systems, click on ok to end setup".
i dont know if this matters, but in "my computer", in c: there is a zip folder, labeled "temp", when i unzip it, its a setup menue that does nothing when i try to "setup".....
the night before it happened, i downloaded a few things,... a few demo versions of some recording software i found from limewire. i thought my firewall would block any viruses, but i think i might have something because i have more running processes than usual. plus my norton atomatic updates were uninstaled somehow (not by me) ive updated everything, and my virus/ad/spyware programs dont recognize any threats. but ive searched the web and found a thread with someone with the same problem.

also, im unable to "run msconfig"... and i dont know what a hj log is...what do i do?
 
re

i know there's some bugs here somewhere, please tell me how to get my computer back to normal. thanx so much for helping.

Setup window for what application?

thought my firewall would block any viruses
It can depending on your firewall and how tightly you regulate it but generally no.

plus my norton atomatic updates were uninstaled somehow (not by me) ive updated everything,
How do you know your definition updates were uninstalled?

re

praetor, i found that the setup window that poped up is related to the virus i have. also, about the live updates for norton, in the top left of the main norton antivirus screen, -where it says "live update"- i press it and it says"live update has been uninstaled". maby when i clean out the virus, everything will go back to normal (i hope) . i'll do what everyone has sugested. i'll post up the results .....thanx so much for the help, everyone.
 
.

ok, i ran the virus scan and deleated the virus, i also got rid of the dangerous/unessisary processes and files. the only problem is i cant "run" anything. norton, as well as trend micro sugested that i click start-run-regedit, and get rid of all the crap the virus left me with. norton has made a tool that is suposed to fix this problem, so i downloaded it, instaled it, and it didnt work. any suggestions about this?
by the way, here is my hijack this log:
