Dr Watson/posb HSA probs, and other misc

Hello

Posting for a friend, her internet is compromised, and she has been infected with misc items for about a month. Most we have managed to get out, but now this Dr Watson Post Mortem Debugger keeps popping up.

I sent her the About.Buster, and other items I have seen posted as potentially necessary for her to clean her pc via downloads in emails, so what ever you say she may need to do, she should have the tools ready to go.

One question however, everything she has been reading prior to this says that with XP you can NOT boot in safe mode? I know that I can, but perhaps that is just another one of her issues to deal with. I also have some issues, but I will wait until her pc is working better (another day perhaps in the week for myself- as mine is about something is not allowing me to turn off my RPC and I cannot run Awido- it stops about 20% of the way through and closes) anyway.. as for my friend, Mooo, I will call her =) she has tried running a few other progs that shut down on her as well, like panda, it closes before giving her any results so that she is not even sure if it completely runs. And she cannot access Windows Explorer at all, it will not open and she cannot even see it anymore in her program file.

Here is a HJT log from about an hour ago that she sent me:
( and curious side note- she noticed that boxes are showing up in her window files, you can see it on the HJT )

    I don't see any active malware in this log. I do see a lot of security programs all running at the same time which will cause problems. You definitely need to be running an antivirus, so keep Mcafee. Then pick one spyware app to run in the background - I'd recommend CounterSpy. Either get rid of the others or at least set them up only to run when you want them to. It's not necessary to have all of these programs running in the background.

    There seem to be remnants of an old infection which may or may not have been Vundo. You can fix these lines with Hijackthis.

    F3 - REG:win.ini: load=???

    Reboot and post a new hijackthis log. If you hit WINDOWS + E do you get explorer?

    I sent her the above and the link to get here to the post via email. As of today, she was able to access Windows Updates again (as was I ~ whew!) and I told her to get those done, fire up the HJT and check F3 and try getting rid of the 020 reference AGAIN - she keeps trying and it keeps coming back :scratch:.

    So hopefully, you will hear from her later tonight or some time tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions BuckEye :thumbsup:
