Greetings Beenthere. I just started school at an MRU too. I think I'm gonna ditch class tommorrow though, before my head explodes from info overload

I'll be keeping an eye out as well. I look forward to the day I can finally replace SAS with MBAM.

No problem, installing the newest version from Logitech should allow you to avoid the bluescreens without losing functionality of your mouse/keyboard.

Excellent, I'm glad it helped out. Good luck and safe surfing.

Greetings burt, and welcome. It appears to be related to Logitech's Mouseware software. Please refer to this article from Microsoft on the subject: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810980

Are you doing this so you can post in the HijackThis area? If so, you can use ESET's online scan as an alternative: http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/index.php

Unfortunately there is no "cure all" sure fire way to kill Vundo, and right now the closest thing is MBAM. The reason is because they keep modifying it to bypass detection and removal. Malwarebytes' is better, even at catching many new variants however, because it has excellent heuristics, meaning it can often catch new versions that aren't specifically in definitions yet.

It may not be malware related directly, but it's possible (even probable) that going through those steps (especially HijackThis) would enable one of the experts to analyze what's going on with the system and fix the problem. It could be something caused by DHCP or DNS errors or even a problem with the Hosts file (as far as the web browsing issue goes).

I'll be spending my New Years at home this year. Nice and quiet (hopefully some drunk driver won't plow his/her vehicle through my living room) . HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

I suppose you can do that. But it also might be helpful to catch it live on a system in case there's anything else related to it not being caught. You can have them follow the instructions here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2936 and post logs in a new topic here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=7 This way one of the analysts here can take a look and remove it and grab samples to give to the developers. I don't know if it would make things go faster, but at least if there are other entries related to it that need to be killed, they can find them and get them added to the defs.

Greetings krolt and welcome to the forum. Please post to this thread: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.p...c=8095&st=0 It seems a few are having the same or similar issues with the full scan engine and the developers are working with them to gather info to try and fix the issue. Your input there could be very valuable to help them track down the cause and get it fixed. Thanks.

Hi again Sharley, I saw you quoted my post. Did you have any luck?

Yup, boclean works great on x64 and to an extent SUPERAntiSpyware works in realtime (it's driver's don't work in x64, but the main memory protection module does).

Hi jdog, sorry I didn't see this thread, I responded to the other one here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.p...ost&p=43881 My suggestion should help you get fixed up.

You're welcome, and Happy New Year to you too.

Greetings. It could be a leftover effect of malware, like blocking them in your hosts file.

Greetings jetpilot123 and welcome to the forum. I've been on here for a bit now and have learned a LOT (and I already knew enough to be dangerous). Enjoy your stay.

Do you mean get it back from the manufacturer? If so, then yes, you'll get it back, but the hard drive will be replaced which means all your data will be gone as they don't give you back your old hard drive, so back up your data before you send it off (if it's under warranty).

No problem, you can skip that part and do the rest for now. If the expert has an alternative for you they'll let you know.

Sounds like your hard drive is going out due to mechanical failure. Unfortunately it happens and is quite common. I would highly recommend you quickly back up all the files you need to keep and make sure you've got all the drivers for the PC from the manufacturer so you can buy a new drive, or if the laptop's under warranty backup your stuff and contact their support.

They are both very light. I've been using Kaspersky for about 2 years now and have had great success with it. Boots quickly and background usage is really light, with one crucial exception, when installing a new piece of software or running a program for the first time Kaspersky analyzes what the application will do before it lets it run and uses both it's actual definitions and heuristics to determine whether or not the program is malicious. With large files or programs it can take a while and quite a lot of CPU, but it's fine once it's done. Kaspersky Labs is working on making it quicker, but I'd rather have the protection as not. Heck, it even warned me about a DRM rootkit in one of the games I had just purchased when it tried to install a hidden driver. Though the driver isn't malicious and is used for copy protection, it's still nice to be aware that it's there. Besides, if you KNOW that the program is safe that you're installing, you can just right click Kaspersky's tray icon and click either Pause Protection, or Exit and it won't block anything. And when you exit Kaspersky, it really does exit completely unlike many other AV's (including McAfee).

Greetings and welcome zoie. Please give this a shot and see if it gets rid of the bugger: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7403 If not, or if you have any other issues with malware then please follow the instructions here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2936 and post your logs in a new topic here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=7 Please be sure not to install any software or use any removal/scanning tools exept those that you are instructed to by the expert who will be assisting you as doing so can make their job much more difficult.

For me it's both (I'm a former long time McAfee user). I ditched em' after version 11 came out.

I haven't seen that one yet. It could be malware killing the process once it starts to scan it's file(s). Please follow the instructions here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2936 I know you can't get through the MBAM scan part, so just do the others. and post your logs in a new topic here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=7 Please be sure not to install any software or use any removal/scanning tools exept those that you are instructed to by the expert who will be assisting you as doing so can make their job much more difficult.
