Constant PC fallover - bestfriends/aplore maybe?

edited November 2007 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi guys, hope I'm using this forum correctly - if not give me a slap and tell me what I'm doing wrong :)

I've had a huge problem with my PC - the thing freezes, and all screen output disapears every time I boot it up. Usually when I get to the desktop, but sometimes before.

I tracked it down to the internet connection - PC works for a while (but not always) without a connection, but falls over the instant I plug in the cable or switch on the router.

Found out I had a load of malware & spyware on the system and have cleaned most of it off. Problem persists.

I've downloaded:
AIMfix; CCleaner; Spybot - S&D; Spyware Terminator; SpywareBlaster; and Ad-Aware. Run them all both normally and in safe mode.

Spybot - S&D and Spyware Terminator seemed to clean out most of the spyware.

The Ad-Aware scan always hangs whent it gets to "Preparing GUID scanning" - which I believe is an issue with it not supporting my os: Vista x64

AIMfix said it found Bestfriend/Aplore, but doesn't remove them.

Here's my logfile:

I can't see any of the files mentioned in previous bestfriends threads.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated :confused:

Thanks.

EDIT:
p.s.
as I can't get the thing online I'm unable to use any online scanners, or update the software. At the moment I'm useing my laptop to download software and transfering via a pendrive.
If anyones got a method of using the online scanners in similar way that might be helpful.

    Hi Baggz! Apologies for the delay.

    I'll need you to download a newer version of HijackThis, but first please remove the current version via Add/Remove programs.

    Next, download HJTInstall.exe to your Desktop.
    • Doubleclick HJTInstall.exe to install it.
    • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
    • Click on Install.
    • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
    • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
    • Save the log to a convenient location as you'll need to post it soon.
    • Don't use the Analyse This button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
    • Don't have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

    Thanks! :)

    Thanks Trogan,

    Don't worry about the delay: as-and-when you can spare some time is cool with me :)

    I'll get onto this later this evening and re-post tomorrow.

    Hi Baggz,

    A few things:

    1) The log looks rather strange. There are only 3 processes running?
    2) I'm not familiar with Vista, so please bear with me.

    I don't see anything malicious in the HijackThis log, so lets run a scan to get better info.

    Please download ComboFix to your Desktop.
    • Double click on Combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • When the scan has finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
    Note:
    Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
