Laptop issues

[kaleeb]

Hey all, I've surfed the site quite a bit, and have gotten a great deal of help from you all from afar, but I'm stumped in my computer endeavors. Recently, my Toshiba Laptop froze. When I restarted it, it started up but then proceeded to give me the auto shutdown message, without explorer loading. When starting in Last Known Good Config, it started up perfectly. Using the advice from the other topics I had seen here, I did a check for rootkits, I did a check for the blaster worm, and the sasser worm, and it found nothing. AVG, my anti-virus program, picked up viruses in certain DLLs. Those DLLs, when looked up online, came up as all viruses, so I deleted them all. But when one DLL got deleted, it showed up again when I started my system as a RUNDLL error, saying that it was missing. A search online showed it to not be existing as there wasn't a single hit on google search. Also, suddenly, IE windows started popping up like crazy, and popped up too fast for me to close them. But now that's stopped. I'm wondering if I have conflicting programs. I run AVG, Adaware, and Spybot. It loads up great in my Last Known Config, but other than that it's no good. AVG, after finding those viruses/trojans, has found nothing else. Geniuses, what can I do?

Welcome to Icrontic kaleeb,

Let's see what all is loaded there, and then decide on repairs.

Please download HijackThis from Here (http://thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=get10). Then click on the downloaded file to install HijackThis. After it is installed open HijackThis and select Do a system scan and save logfile. Use copy/paste and post that log back here for review.

Also go Here (http://www.silentrunners.org/sr_download.html) and download Silent Runners to your desktop. Run it, and post back here the log it creates. If your AV queries the script, allow it to run. It's not malicious. It will create a file named Startup Programs, and will notify when the scan is complete. Copy the log from the Startup Programs file back here. You can use separate posts here if needed.
