Solve : Odd Problems?

Answer»

I have been having problems on this computer. Last Saturday Internet Explorer and Outlook Express disappeared from my computer. I was working on a non internet programme and wanted to check for an expected email but Outlook Express and Explorer had gone. I checked for a VIRUS with AVG Free an for Ad Aware but found nothing. I tried to go into safe mode using the F8 button but I could not even get that. I then tried using the installation disc to try and access safe mode but the disc started installing without any prompts. That gave me back the Outlook Express and Explorer but the computer does odd things still. I downloaded a trial version of Stopsign and that found that the computer was infected with Win 32 HLLM.Stration.Agent software package and Webtrends Live. Will these cause me problems and if so how do I get rid of them?
I am using XP Home on broadband
Have you tried AVG Anti-Spyware?This is not AVG anti-virus.

              I bought the agv antispyware as you suggested.  It has found a trackingcookie  Tribalfusion   but no Win 32 HLLM.Stration.Agent  not the Webtrends.

It's freeware. Why did you buy it?glenafton ..... I would reboot your machine into safe mode and run your virus scan again.
In fact , before you do that , go to  http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5   ...... download the free AVG antispyware ....... Once it's D/L ....update it and then go into safe mode and scan with it as well as your anti-virus.

Let us know what is found .....

glenaftonDo you have a real Windows CD to reinstall if necessary?Hi, glenafton
Could you give your hijack log. That'll help us to investigate the problem.  PC-OnlineHelp,

              Yes I have a Windows disc.  Dam I can type properly.   Why is that?
glenaftonCorrection   tomylast    post.           The   typing    is allover    the    place   again.Power down and try a PS2 keyboard in that machine.

If that does no good re-boot and go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter.
Have your XP CD handy as it will ask for it...let it run to completion and re-boot.

Does this improve things ? ?Patio,
          I tried as you suggested.   Run will not accept the command.  I get the message: Windows cannot find sfc/scannow.  Make sure you have the correct name and try again
glenaftonIt looks like a good format and reinstall is going to come into play. Did you have all of your data files backed up?
