You're right Matt, about the AllPro Soft thing, never heard of it and never intended to download it. With regards to the king.com files, i presume they'll forever be there because other people who use this computer play games on king.com . Well, your log looks a lot better. Our efforts appear to have been successful. I wouldn't worry too much about the King.com entry. Some people say to remove it, but it shouldn't be harmful. If you don't recognize AlProSoft, then go ahead and fix this entry...

O23 - Service: AlProSoft Support Service (AlProSoftSupSvc) - TODO: <Company name> - C:\WINDOWS\system32\alpsfsvc.exe

Then reboot in Safe Mode and use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall any mention of AlProSoft Support Service.

Then (with hidden files and folders revealed) delete: C:\WINDOWS\system32\alpsfsvc.exe


Let me know if you have any trouble. Other than that, your log looks clean to me. And I'm glad to hear that things are running better. You have some good anti-malware programs, so I don't think I need to give you a lecture on that. I would suggest getting AdAware, though.

It would also be a good idea to have SpywareBlaster, which will help make your internet browsing a bit safer.

I don't spot a firewall on your computer, so you should look into getting one. There are plenty of good free options, such as Kerio Personal Firewall and ZONEALARM.

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet, read this article by Tony Klein: So how did I get infected in the first place?.Awesome, thankyou V E R Y much for helping me through that stuff, same thanks go to oddjob. I REALLY appreciate the help. What i would ask quickly though, with regards to firewalls - i've been using Avast's firewall for some time, is that adequate protection - because i've tried Zone Alarm and it's completely annoying.As far as I know, Avast! doesn't have a firewall... It comes with Network Shield, which has some features of a firewall, but it's not a full-fledged firewall. If ZoneAlarm doesn't suit you, there are others such as Kerio (mentioned above), Comodo, Jetico, or Ashampoo (avoid giving them your e-mail). And although I'm not fond of Symantec, there's also Sygate.Right, i'm on Comodo. I was going to ask, are Window's Firewalls not adequate then? It's just, having security programs gets me concerned about everything. I end up monitoring them for ages just to see what actually happens, and then these particular firewalls need you to allow all sorts of programs to connect, which is just alot of hassle for the less computer literates in my HOUSEHOLD. I always thought a firewall was just that ... a device that prevented hackers and bad things from getting onto your PC, never knew they were this sophisticated.the reason is so that if you do get infected the bad program cant send info back to the creator Quote from: Gliff on May 29, 2007, 03:52:40 PM

Windows Firewall is better than nothing, but it's always a good idea to have something with better protection and more features. I know it seems like a bit of a hassle at first, but once you get used to it, it won't feel so bothersome. And besides, if you ask me, it's worth the protection.Actually, since installing yesterday and a bit of accepting needed to allow certain programs to connect to the internet, Comodo is a nice program. Quiet, but it does the job. Thanks for all of your advice, if anyone i know gets computer problems, i will no doubt direct them here! The help has been fantastic, and i appreciate it to no extent. Thanks!You're very welcome, Gliff. I'm just glad I was able to help you out.

As this issue appears to be resolved, I am closing this topic. If you would like this topic to be re-opened for any reason, PM me or another moderator and it can be arranged.
