Still have pop ups with...porn images and warnings?
That's somehow unbelievable, lol.

  • Open HijackThis.
  • Click on Open the Misc Tools section.
  • Look under System tools.
  • Click on the Open Uninstall Manager... button.
  • Click on the Save list... button.

  • Notepad will open. Please copy and paste the contents of this log in your next reply.
See in this link details.

No, I don't still have it. I've been on safe mode since I tried it and got BSOD during startup a couple days ago. I don't know if it's working yet, I guess it's worth a shot if you say it's good to go?

Do you think I'm good to go?

EDIT: I just booted into normal mode. No strange icons, slow downs, anything yet. Is it safe to delete any of the programs you sent me?

Yes, it is. Also, the log is clean and your computer appears to be clean.
Please get back here if your computer starts lagging again :D

Yeah, buddy, problem.

I was on for 20 minutes today, normal mode. Web pages were often freezing up, not responding. I got rid of McAfee because it was ceasing to work and put on Kaspersky. It came up with a trojan warning and started deleting it. Then it did a couple restarts and wouldn't log on the first time.... and now when I try to log on, whether it is safe mode or normal mode, it logs on for a tenth of a second, then starts logging off again.

Please, what do I do??? Should I just reformat?

With backdoor trojans such as this, many experts believe that the system can never be completely trusted and that a reformat and reinstall of the OS is the best course of action.

We should be able to get your system working again, at least. It is likely that userinit.exe has been deleted. Do you have your Windows CD? If so, please do the following:
  1. Boot from your Windows CD and press R to "repair the Windows XP installation using Recovery Console" when prompted.
  2. Select your Windows installation from the list and type your Administrator password if asked.
  3. Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each:
    D:
    cd I386
    expand userinit.ex_ c:\Windows\System32


    Note: If your CD-ROM drive has a letter other than D:, please substitute D for the letter of your CD-ROM in the first command.
  4. You should now see "1 file(s) copied". Please remove your Windows CD and reboot. Please tell me if you can login normally.

Thanks for the help. I had already reformatted...let's just hope Windows will find my key genuine. I always have a problem w/ this part.

If it doesn't call Microsoft and say it is a reinstall and they will issue a new key for you.
