Re: Popunders and can't update Windows XP

Actually, from looking at the ComboFix log, it seems as though Combofix did not install the recovery Console, and that it may have been already installed. When you attempted to run that part of the ComboFix process, did you receive notification that Recovery Console was already installed?

If you do nothing, Windows will load by default. That said, you should be able to use your down arrow to change the selection. Hopefully you'll never need the Recovery Console, but it's good to have it pre-installed.

I wonder, do you have a USB keyboard? Some USB keyboards do not function well at boottime, until Windows loads.

Looks like the Java you installed is correct. Not sure what happened with your initial download, as it works correctly for me.

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

Open NOTEPAD.exe and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:
Code:
@echo off
if exist "%temp%\log.txt" del "%temp%\log.txt"

for %%g in (

"C:\Documents and Settings\Ian and Joelle.IAN-7530FC48F2F\My Documents\Downloads\incredimail_install.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msimg32.dll"
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\riched20.dll"

) do (
del /a/f %%g >nul 2>&1
if exist %%g echo.%%g>>"%temp%\log.txt"
)

for %%g in (

%systemdrive%\Deckard

) do (
rd /s/q %%g >nul 2>&1
if exist %%g echo.%%g>>"%temp%\log.txt"
)
if exist "%temp%\log.txt" ( start notepad "%temp%\log.txt"
) else echo.Deleted Successfully !!

pause
del %0
Save this as fix.bat Choose to "Save type as - All Files"
It should look like this:
Double click on fix.bat & allow it to run

Post back to tell me what it says
