Solve : Can't Get Onto Windows XP-Possibe Major PC Problem (Long)?

Answer»

You never said which PC to run it from.
The OTL were run off the good PC, since there is no way I could download OTL on the infected PC with no IP access.

Which PC do you want the sfc scan run from?
Could I request in the future, may you specify which PC to do scans/other things from?

Thanks.


Also...since we fixed the infected PC to now sign on normally, why is it that I can not access the internet even though I am connected and what can be done?OK when I tried on the good PC the black cmd screen popped up and vanished instantly.

I tried on the infected PC....it ran until this message popped up

Quote

Files that are required for windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache.

Insert your Windows XP Professional CD-ROM now.

The only CDs I have are
-Windows XP Service Pack 2
-Application (For re-installing Dell Tools System Software)
-Operating System (Reinstallion CD Microsoft Windows XP Professional Including Service Pack 1a)
-Drivers and Utilities (For reinstalling Dell Inspiron System Software)


I inserted the XP Service Pack 2 on the infected PC and was told it was the wrong disc.
I then inserted the Operating System (Reinstallion CD Microsoft Windows XP Professional Including Service Pack 1a) into the infected PC...and the scan resumed

After it finshed the bar vanishes...and I still can't get on the internetQuote

Let's just work on the originally infected computer. You will have to download any programs and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

Ok. We need to clear your DNS cache.

Please navigate to Start>Run and type cmd

in the window that pops up type ipconfig /flushdns

***************************************

Download the Fix IE Utility to your desktop.

Before running the utility, make sure that all your Internet Explorer windows are closed!

* Extract the contents of the .zip file to your desktop.
* Double click the Fix IE Utility button to run the tool.
* Click Run Utility
* Click OK when you see 'Re-registered all files'
* Open Internet Explorer and see how it works.

Again, I assume you meant on this and here after on the infected pc only.
I did this on the infected PC, and I got the same message I got last night when I typed IPconfig:

Quote
Windows IP Configuration

An internal error occured: The request is not supported.

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.

Additional information: Unable to query host name.

* Open Internet Explorer and see how it works.

........Done...........and told

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"


NOTHING works!!!

I still do not get why I am perfectly connected to the internet but can't access it?
The virus is gone.Try this please. Reset Explorer Settings IE OK...a few things

1) Congratulations! Thanks to both SuperDave and EvilFantasy my PC is running and I am able to access the internet.
-SuperDave got the PC to be able to turn on
-Evil Fantasy and his latest post allowed me to get the internet

I would like to personally thank the both of you for walking me through this complicated problem step-by-step.
I know I lost patience and snapped a few times, this was quite lengthy, but thank you!

How can I officially thank you both in your profile?
I would have updated sooner, but I was out of town last week and only got around to the problem last night.

2) Given my expertise, would it be better to leave it alone or could we say what exactly the problem was?
In your experience, did this come off as one of the more difficult problems?


3) While we fixed this virus, I have a 6 year old PC and want to get a clean bill of health.
I went ahead and ran/download Java and did all the recommended scans.
I have attached the logs below.
Before I go onto business as usual, I want the PC running as safely, fastly, and best as possible.
Would you mind going through these logs so we can get a clean bill of health?
Lemme know so I can clear this out.

Thanks!4) As I have been trying to clean out old files, I still am unable to delete civ4. Years ago I got this from a friend, pirated style.
It is located under downloads, every time I try and delete it tells me it cannot because "another program or person"
It also is located in the "E" drive of my PC as well.

Lemme know so I can clear this out.

Thanks!You could try deleting it in Safe Mode or download and install Unlocker to delete it.OK so..........

1) Installed unlocker...under downloads in my documents it is now deleted.
-However....in my computer it still shows in the E drive.

-Next time I re-start my PC will it be gone?
-If not how can I remove it from E drive...or is it moot...is it gone?


2) Otherwise given my logs, is my PC now given a clean bill of health?

3) What was the big problem with it, and was this one of the worst you have seen?

4) Thanks again, how can I officially thank you?

Your logs are clean.

3) What was the big problem with it, and was this one of the worst you have seen?

No it's far from the worst. Look back through the Malwarebytes and SUPERAntispyware logs and you will see what all was found/removed.

Quote
4) Thanks again, how can I officially thank you?

I think you just did.
