  1. This is the standard reply I give to everyone to be better protected.

    Many of these infections can be avoided with an added layer of prevention. All recommended programs are free and easy on system resources. You should install them as part of your protection arsenal. Keep MBAM and Spybot Search & Destroy and always immunize SBS&D when you update. You will also need at least one other scanning program Asquared or SuperAntiSpyware are good and there are several other excellent programs with free and paid versions. Read the overviews of what each program below does so you have an understanding of their importance and how to use.

    A firewall and antivirus are also essential. The Windows firewall in XP is not sufficient.

    Preform Windows Updates monthly on the second Tuesday or use automatic updates, and use your scanners weekly at the least. Always update before you scan.

    Keep other software known for vulnerabilities updated also. Use the Secunia Inspector free scan to identify risks in outdated versions.

    The windows firewall is not sufficient to protect. It doesn't monitor outgoing traffic and this is a must. I use and recommend Online Armor Free

    Also the full protection of MBAM is offered at a very low price. Give it a trial using the link in my signature.

    Were these two PC's connected via a network? It would be wise to follow the pre HJT post instructions on the Vista system and start a new topic. We can then be sure it's clean. Vista needs a better firewall too.

  11. Thanks for your advice, Jean! :D

    If I were to click on every item found by HJT, what is the worst case scenario I would encounter?

    Dave

    Total destruction of the system. DO NOT do that. HJT doesn't identify malware unless your knowledgeable in those things.

    See if you can run the AV. Update it, run a scan. Turn on the Windows Security System it will tell you if its disabled too.

  12. You post logs over and over in the process of removal of malware. Once is never enough. I hope your able to connect now.

  13. They are not malware I was just trying to clean them up.

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =

    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

    All of those you can give a try but it's nothing to worry about.
