Okay, I figured out why Dave's computer was acting funny; the IE security was all the way up. But why? No one had touched that. Another thing is programs try to open up files that don't go to them. One example is a photo program opening an MP3 I selected. I'm so lost. I can't delete anything until I know it's deletable. Any volunteers?

Also, are there any malware progs disguised as good programs (download sharing progs, etc.) that anyone noticed?

    Can you please do the following.

    ===============

    Before we begin, let's move HiJackThis to it's own folder; like c:\HJT. When we're done 'cleaning' off your system, we're going to 'flush' the temporary folders which, with HiJackThis in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.

    Also move the "Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.

    ===============

    Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

    WhenUSave

    The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

    ===============

    Run HiJackThis then:

    1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
    2. Click "Open Process manager"

    -

    Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

    C:\Program Files\Save\Save.exe

    Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

    ===============

    Scan with HiJackThis, then check(tick) the following, if present:


    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WhenUSave] "C:\Program Files\Save\Save.exe"


    Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

    ===============

    Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

    folders...

    C:\Program Files\Save

    -

    Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

    -

    Reboot.

    ===============

    After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

    I dunno... the software on this computer is still doing weird things. AOL doesn't bring up mail (I have that in another thread), MP3s are still being opened by a viewer like Adobe Reader or Photo Impression, and now I think Fast Click(is that what it's called?) has jumped into the picture. media.fastclick pop-ups keep appearing.

    Please download the trial version of Ewido anti-malware here:
    http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
    Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.
    Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
    1) Restart your computer
    2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
    3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
    4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

    For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site:
    http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

    Once in Safe Mode, please run Ewido, and do a full scan. During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK.

    ==

    Go to your 'Control Panel' and open the 'Folder Options' icon. Hit the 'File Types' Tab and then select MP3 files and then associate it with whatever player you want to open them. Click apply and ok out.
    Do this with whatever other files need re-associating.

    Let me know how you get on.
