  1. To be honest I dont see anything bad and you have the shortest hijack this log I have ever seen. The thing is that you are using an outdated copy of Hijack this. get the newer version here and scan and paste a log with it.

    The other thing is that you arent using service pack 2. If you are on dial up you can order a disc from microsoft absolutely free here:

    So what you should do is scan with the new version of hijack this make sure that you choose "scan and save log file" then copy and paste it here.

     

    You then need to go to windows update and get service pack 2 or order it on cd rom.

     

     

    Also do you use antispyware tools like ad aware, and spybot search and destroy?

  2. Ok, so while scanning with ewido you click off to try to use the internet or something and it takes a long time for the ewido window to minimize (Thats what I assume is happening when the pages peel). Thats what I'm getting from what you wrote. How much memory does your pc have? Have you been noticing any slowdowns?

     

    Also just to make sure your not scanning with all of those programs at the same time are you? Also you should really get ad aware too:

  3. You probably do have lots of junk and its great CCleaner will get rid of that but I dont know if its going to fix your internet. Do you use antivirus software and antispyware software (ad aware, spybot, MS antispy)? If not then download those. If you do and you still have these problems than cut and paste your hijack this log here.

  4. I would feel cheated too. The good thing is that ZA probably updates their firewall a lot more than Computer Associates. Unless they release updates at the same time in which you were ripped off $20. Out of curiosity what feature made you use the pro version of ZA I have been thinking about buying it.

  5. Might as well try. Thats the first thing those stupid tech support people on the phone would tell you. I know Ive spent hours and hours on the phone with those dumb people at the HP support line. Half the time I couldnt even understand what they were saying (They were from India or the middle east some where). so to your smart ass remark Andavari I say: :P. :lol:

  6. Eldmannen the thing is that not everyone wants to worry about configuring a firewall. I think your right those firewalls are not as good as they could be but the average user isnt getting hacked without visiting porn site and downloading off of p2p. I know many people who would never even have any kind of firewall but I came over cleaned their computer of malware and then installed ZA and they never even know its running.

  7. If the power light on the modem has a been going dead than either the modems dead or their could be problems with the wall outlet. If the modem stays on and you internet just quits than its either the modem or you cable. Do you have anything else plugged in to the same outlet as your modem? If so does it work or randomly cut off too?

  8. rridgely,

    There was something "improper" about my instructions, or simply something simply different than the choice you may have made in the circumstances? Come on now.

    It wasnt a shot at you. Sorry if you felt like that. I'm not a master with HJT and never claimed to be. What I do know is that you can disable things that shouldnt be. Thats why its better to let someone look at your logs than have an automated scanner. I tried that site that you put up a while ago and all of the things that it had question marks for were malware and some of the ones it had an exclamation point for were from my AV. I have learned from seeing all of the new people that come through here that not all of them have tried the antispyware programs like ad aware and spybot. So I wasnt trying to say you were wrong but HJT comes last as you can see by Taruns first response to almost every HJT log.

  9. Yeah I passed the test to with za free but Bavaria had been having problems with it a while back.

     

    Edit:

    (I hate it when you are replying at the same time) Glad that you were ok with ZA running Bavaria. Now you know why it's important to have a firewall running, at the very least use the windows firewall.

  10. I think thats more than likely it. If not than he will need to run adaware, spybot ect. I just didnt want that person to use that automated hjt log scanner. It gives off many false positives and wont even identify all of the malware.

  11. sweetasswisschocolate ignore the above post for now. Do not play with hijack this without proper instruction. Try what Capman said first and let me know if that fixes your problem.
