hi, a few days ago a dowloaded a free trial of AVG. when it was done with setup, it restarted and froze at log in screen. i restart my comp. and it freezes at log in screen when it says starting up. I have left it over night at that screen and have tried rebooting numerous times. I went into safe mode and ran AVG. it found 2 trojan dropper's and lots of tracking cookies. AVG "HEALED" the trojans but did not delete them. so i manualy deleted them. i ran the scan and nothing came up. so i then tried booting normaly and it still freezes. looking through some of the forums, i tried hijack this.

im running on XP prof. here is the hijackthis log. please help, thanks

You have HijackThis running from your desktop. You have it in a permanent location, which is good because it makes important backups that you may end up needing. However, to help you avoid clutter and to help ensure that the backups stay safe, I would like you to move it to a special location such as C:\Program Files\HJT.

Also, your Java is out of date. You'll want to correct this quickly, as it will help provide further protection for you. To do so, go here and click on Free Java Download. You will be given instructions on what to do next.

You definitely need to correct those two things. Other than that, your log looks clean to me (there is one other issue I will address in a minute, however). I think the problem is your Panda. You're trying to run Panda and AVG at the same time, which is causing them to "*censored* heads" and may be the reason why you're having trouble. If you want to use AVG, try disconnecting from the internet and disabling Panda. See if this makes a difference. Or you could simply try uninstalling AVG.



Also...there's this entry in your log...

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpyHunter] C:\Program Files\Enigma Software Group\SpyHunter\SpyHunter.exe

SpyHunter is technically legit, but it hasn't always been that way. And although it is legit now, its protection is horribly substandard. If you wish to learn more, click here. You may want to consider removing this program and using an alternative such as SUPERAntiSpyware.ok thanks. but since i cant log in I am in safe mode and can not delete panda. or can i?Yes, you can. In FACT, being in Safe Mode should actually make it easier. But you don't have to delete it; just try disabling it. Unless you don't want Panda anymore and would like to switch to AVG. In that case, you may delete it.You could also try DLoading and installing AVG Anti-Spyware ( FORMERLY Ewido ) and run it in safemode...Due to lack of feedback, I am closing this topic.
