Desktop Hijacked - Lots of infections

[thewebguy]

I have a laptop, dell XPS m1210 with windows XP on it.

I DO NOT have the xp discs (yet...trying to locate them)

Computer wont let you double click items, need to use the rightclick/OPEN to get things open.
Will not connect to internet...IE flashes open but closes right away.

was able to update avast and ran it. 5 infections found and removed. Issues persist.

When I tried to install malwarebytes, spybot and some others I get near the end of the installation and get the follwoing error:
CoCreation Instance Failed
Class Not Registered

I was able to run adwCleaner, Roguekiller, aswMBR (logs attached)

Any help would be great.

While running OTL got an ACCESS VIOLATION at address 0052CDD7 in module OTL.exe
clicked ok and it just appears to have hung up at "Scanning C:|Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\start Menu Folder...
I am leaving it alone now to see if it finishes the scan or not. If it does finish, Ill post the log.


Note: still cant access internet from that laptop.
Also now I am getting popups asking to block/unblock the following (I Keep saying to "ask me later")
1) ActiveSync RAPI Manager
2) BackWeb-8876480

also wirless networks found window popsup every few seconds.

Hi could you try to run this.. From safe mode if necessary

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
• Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

• When finished, it shall produce a log for you.

Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Tick "All" options.
Press "Scan".
It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.

Please copy and paste the log to your reply.

Errors I encountered. When trying to install directly to desktop it would not let me. Could not install unistall dorectory...
Ran the program from my flash drive.
In the SFC section, it asked for the windows XP disc multiple times(which i currently dont have but am trying to find) so I had to skip/cancel that section...

Ran repair option and system restarted.

Some items seem to be working now...IE stays connected...

What now?
