That is really weird, it should be right under windows log files. Try a reinstall?
-
Check these in hijack this and then choose "fixed checked".
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C8B2A36-3DB1-42A4-A3CB-D426709BBFEB} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: Internet Explorer Web Content Catcher - {FFF4E223-7019-4ce7-BE03-D7D3C8CCE884} - C:\Program Files\DNS\Catcher.dll
Uninstall that ram program and the download manager that you have installed. Then reboot and post a new log. Let me know if anything has changed as well.
-
Your log is clean but you have a lot of running processes that are probably slowing down your pc. I suggest you get rid of some of the ones you don't need. Also you need to do a windows update.
-
If you want you can post a hijack this log. I can tell you if you have anything left on your pc.
-
Is there something wrong with your pc? Do your other programs have any problem updating?
-
What was buggy about zone alarm on your system?
-
How does your computer seem? Better or not?
-
I guess I'll get the installer now then. I'll probably never use it but its worth taking a look at though.

Scan with ewido, adaware and spybot in safe mode and then post a new log.
-
This didn't turn out to be as good as I hoped. They basically sighned a deal that they would promote each other.

I agree with everything except
RegWatcher: Configurable Registry Protection (http://www.jacobsm.com/mjsoft.htm)
ProcessGuard: Limits application rights
An outbound firewall and microsoft antispyware should be sufficient. Running too many of these programs will slow down your pc. The best defense is a router. This will limit just about everything that can get into your pc.
-
You updated everything when you scanned right? Try scanning with all of the programs in safe mode.
Spybot
adaware
ewido
microsoft antispy

The new version of Etrust is better, but I prefer CA corporate if I had to choose between the two. Remember that Etrust in not freeware; I believe the year license, offered by Microsoft, is no longer offered .
http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/
If it were up to me I would advise using KAV 5/6 beta, NOD32 2.5, or VBA32. But none of them are freeware.I like nod32 but not Kaspersky. Its become every bit as bloated and junky as the rest of those security suites. The standalone av is good but it still costs $40. Why use this when I can get etrust for $20.
Freeware, no matter what product, is not as good as payware productsNot true. Sure you can say that a free version of a piece of software is not as good as the exact same piece of softwares pay version but I can build a suite of free aplications that is better than norton or any other suite. You just have to know what to get.

As far as Etrust in concerned, I have used it before and found it to be very easy to use to rather high on system resources, not able to clean everything and mediocrea at detection.
Have you tried the latest version? Because it uses less resources than Avast or AVG and I have never had infection that it wouldn't remove.
Version 7.0.7.7
My experience with Avast has been lack luster. I was once cleaning a pc that was infested with trojans and all avast would do is detect them and then lock up. I also have had problems with it detecting a virus and not removing it. The times that I have used avg it had no such problems.
-
Well, Etrust isn't even on any of those comparisons. Antivir from what I understand dosent have true automatic updates(may have changed), and I did say I like avast.
Have you even tried Etrust before? Because I have used all of those programs.

Download this:

Boot to safe mode and run it. Then reboot and post a new log.
-
What do you think CCleaner did? Did you tell it to make a back up when you used the issues scanner?
-
Zone Alarm 5.5.094.000 not the newest version. Get it here:
http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/info...aseHistory.html
For free antivirus I like avast but I really like Etrust so much more. Here is a link to a one year free trial.
-
Remove that entry that ewido found. That is what is causing your problems.
Remove that then reboot and post a new log.
-
Download and update the following programs:
Ewido
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Spyware Doctor
http://www.download.com/Spyware-Doctor/300...4-10377263.html
Do full scans with each and then post a new log. Reboot before you post your log though.

What is HiDownload?
-
Just post you log here I will help you clean it.

I think this thread was about integrated security suites and not so much about individual products.
Yes but those types of security suites are junk and the configuration I posted is much better and lighter on resources. I say don't suggest alternatives when someone has a problem but when it will save them $70 or $80 I think they will be ok with it.
As for stand-alone firewalls, SYGATE personal firewall is probably one of the best, and I have read elsewhere that the newer versions of OUTPOST are supposed to be top-notch as well (though I had problems with the first few releases).Zone Alarm is easier to use and sygate has been know to just stop working randomly. Outpost is good but not the free version.

Well, a couple of people who come to this forum have said it was buggy (people who I trusts opinion). I never upgraded to 6 and have had zero problems with 5.5.094. When you download it just make sure you turn off alerts and logs and everything should be perfect.

I havent ever seen an error like this. I wonder what could cause it?
