Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:
Bleeping Computer ComboFix Tutorial
Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.
A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper
I apparently goofed up on the first precautionary piece of the Windows Recovery instructions from bleepingcomputer.com. I could not create the Windows Recovery from my original Windows CD as it is Windows original version, I have service Pak 2. I was instructed to go to the Windows site and download the Recovery Program for Service Pak 2. I saved that to my desk top and per the directions from bleepingcomputer.com, I dragged the Icon for the Recovery program over top of the ComboFix Icon. Once I did that, the program started up. I thought per the instructions it would not only add the Recovery Program as a boot up option (which it did) but that it would walk me through creating the back up floppy disks. It did not, rather started working on scanning. At that point I was worried as I had no Recovery Disks, but I could not stop the process, too late.
For my second goof up, on this first run of Combofix I forgot to turn off my Kasperskis program (sorry!). Combofix went through the motions (step 1 through 48) but did not display the log file. My computer then turned off and back on, then the auto checkdisk program wanted to run, I did not stop it so it ran. The computer booted up, I saw a quick flash of a Combofix screen, but only for a second. It never came back up. I let the computer set there for 15 minutes, nothing happened so I went and found the ComboFix log file at C:\ComboFix.txt. The log showed that I had the virus protection on, no other log listings, so it must have errored out. I am attaching that log screen first. I then turned off my virus protection and ran ComboFix again. The 2nd set of data is from that log file. Finally I ran a new HijackThis log. It is below as well. I hope I'm ok, the computer seems to be running fine.
Your next instructions?
Thanks, David

Another problem. I kept getting an error when opening MS Outlook, control panel settings etc. There were two errors that bounced back and forth continuously when I would hit the "ok" button. This was contiuous until I would ctrl alt delete and go to the program running, KAV something, then I would right click to go to the process and kill the process. This was the only way I could do anything other than listen to the 2 error messages "bonk" back and forth.
Here are the two error messages
1) The application or DLL C:\windows\system32\jscript.dll is a non valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette
I would then hit "ok" and I would get...
2) KAV checker screen
cannot load library for language Jscript Path c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll
Please contact Kaspersy lab for the solution (err000000c1)
I hit "ok" and it goes back to the first error message and the process repeats eternally. Again, had to ctrl alt delete and go to the program running, KAV something, then I would right click, select go to process and then I would kill the process. This was the only way I could do anything other than listen to the 2 error messages "bonk" back and forth.
Since the first message said the file was a non valid windows image and the second message said it was a Kaspersky related file, I took a risk and went to windows explorer, found the file and deleted it. The error messages went away then. I left the file in my trash can for future reference, to reinstall if you tell me too. I then decided to uninstall Kaspersky and reinstall it.
After doing these two actions (uninstall and reinstall IE 7, uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky) I was back up and running.
Any input on this?
By the way, my system seems to be running far better now, thank you. I would like assistance on making it boot up faster and run games faster as it seems a little slow booting up, maybe all the crap I have starting up and back ground process. But I dont know waht to kill and how to kill it.
Now back to your last request. Here are the data files you requested.
Thanks, David

You could have a look at Black Viper's site and see if there are any services that you can stop.
Congratulations your logs look clean
Let's see if I can help you keep it that way
First lets tidy up
You can also delete any logs we have produced, and empty your Recycle bin.
The following is some info to help you stay safe and clean.
( Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )
You may already have some of the following programs, but I include the full list for the benefit of all the other people who will be reading this thread in the future.
Online Scanners
I would recommend a scan at one or more of the following sites at least once a month.
http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan
http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/71706/kavwebscan.html
!!! Make sure that all your programs are updated !!!
Secunia Software Inspector does all the work for you, .... see HERE for details
AntiSpyware
AntiSpyware is
not the same thing as Antivirus.Different AntiSpyware programs detect different things, so in this case it is recommended that you have more than one.
You should only have one running all the time, the other/s should be used "on demand" on a regular basis.
Most of the programs in this list have a free (for Home Users ) and paid versions,
it is worth paying for one and having "realtime" protection, unless you intend to do a manual scan often.
[*]Spybot - Search & Destroy <<< A must have program
[*] MalwareBytes Anti-malware <<< A New and effective program
[*]a-squared Free <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
[*]superantispyware <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
Prevention
These programs don't detect malware, they help stop it getting on your machine in the first place. Each does a different job, so you can have more than one- Winpatrol
- An excellent startup manager and then some !!
- Notifies you if programs are added to startup
- Allows delayed startup
- A must have addition
- SpywareBlaster 4.0
- SpywareBlaster sets killbits in the registry to prevent known malicious activex controls from installing themselves on your computer.
- SpywareGuard 2.2
- SpywareGuard provides real-time protection against spyware.
- Not required if you have other "realtime" antispyware or Winpatrol
- ZonedOut
- Formerly known as IE-SPYAD, adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers and marketers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer.
- MVPS HOSTS
- This little program packs a powerful punch as it blocks ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
- For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002.
- Not required if you are using other host file protections
Internet Browsers
Microsoft has worked hard to make IE.7 a more secure browser, unfortunately whilst it is still the leading browser of choice it will always be under attack from the bad guys. Using a different web browser can help stop malware getting on your machine.
If you are still using IE6 then either update, or get one of the following.
Cleaning Temporary Internet Files and Tracking Cookies
Temporary Internet Files are mainly the files that are downloaded when you open a web page. Unfortunately, if the site you visit is of a dubious nature or has been hacked, they can also be an entry point for malware. It is a good idea to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder on a regular basis. Tracking Cookies are files that websites use to monitor which sites you visit and how often. A lot of Antispyware scanners pick up these tracking cookies and flag them as unwanted. CAUTION :- If you delete all your cookies you will lose any autologin information for sites that you visit, and will need your passwords Both of these can be cleaned manually, but a quicker option is to use a program- ATF Cleaner
- Free and very simple to use
- CCleaner
- Free and very flexible, you can chose which cookies to keep
Also PLEASE read this article.....So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place
The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE.
If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware even Windows) then you are at risk.
Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.
If you follow this advice then (with a bit of luck) you will never have to hear from me again
If you could post back one more time to let me know everything is OK, then I can have this thread archived.
Happy surfing K'
I read "how did I get infected in the first place" and learned a lot.
My system is running extremely well now. Thank you so much Katana!!!
I have one last question. When I upgraded my old Kasperky Internet Security to Kaspersky 2009, during the install process it told me that I needed to remove Spybot Search & Destroy as it conflicted and was not compatible with Kaspersky 2009. I ingnored the comment and hit install now anyway. Well, the software uninstalled Spybot S&D!! I really like that program, so what do you think? Can I download it again or not?
Thanks so much Katana!!! You are so thourogh its unbelievable!! It took a lot of time and effort, but my system is clean, updated and fine tuned now.
If you would, please answer the Kaspersky/Spybot S&D question, then close this thread out.
Thanks again!
David
You could try installing the latest version of SpyBot S&D and see if that helps.
Thanks again Katana for all your help.
