Ok, I selected a setting that said it would disable the auto protect for AntiVir but it still pops up and warns me of threats. Not sure what's going on there but it's the lesser of my issues at this point.
I then followed the following instructions:
- NEXT:
- Please run HijackThis and click "Scan". Place a check (tick) next to the
- following entries (if present):
- O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Agent] C:\WINDOWS\system32\alsys.exe
- Close ALL programs and browsers (including this one), leaving ONLY
- HijackThis open, then click "Fix checked".
- Then please exit HijackThis.
I was not able to find alsys.exe in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ directory so I did a search for that file name but it didn't produce any results. The search is scanning the local drives and is including system folders, sub-folders, as well as hidden files and folders. Not being able to find the file to delete it, I continued with the instructions.
I was able to continue through the instructions regarding CCLEANER but I had problems with the Panda Activescan. ActiveScan first installed the activex controls and then started a scan. The progress bar was moving for a while but then the browser windows just closed before the scan was finished. Now when I run the ActiveScan, The progress bar doesn't do anything. After about 20 minutes, the browser windows close without producing any results.
I've run the HijackThis scanner again and pasted the log below. The problems I had before still continue.
Let me know what to do next and thank you very much for the help.
Thanks,
Alex
