HARMFULL ITEMS IN THE DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS FOLDER(S) :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE NOT NEEDED TO LOAD

o4 - hkcu\..\run: [msnmsgr] "c:\program files\msn messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background
o4 - global startup: microsoft office.lnk = c:\program files\microsoft office\office10\osa.exe

Also remove these:

msnappau.exe and p6.exe are what there starting up, they most proberly causing you the trouble, so after making the above corrections/fixed, reboot then search for the files on your system and delete them (start bar > search).

Then redo and repost a new log.

Some are still there from last time, they need to be fixed, they are these:

O2 - BHO: ST - {9394EDE7-C8B5-483E-8773-474BF36AF6E4} - C:\Program Files\MSN Apps\ST\01.02.3000.1002\en-xu\stmain.dll
o2 - bho: msntoolbandbho - {bdbd1dad-c946-4a17-adc1-64b5b4ff55d0} - c:\program files\msn apps\msn toolbar\01.02.3000.1001\en-us\msntb.dll

Also p6.exe and msnappau.exe are still there (harmful processes), so remove the above

then find and delete this file "p6.exe", should be in C:\WINDOWS\System32

then find and delete this file "msnappau.exe", should be in C:\Program Files\MSN Apps\Updater\01.02.3000.1001\en-us

Although if i was you i would be wary of the folder "C:\Program Files\MSN Apps" as to my knolage this is not a default msn folder (you may want to consider deleteing it.

This is a incomplete log.

You still have to remove:

Fix the ones I mentioned and get your system up-to-date.
Visit Windows Update and install ALL security patches/updates.

lucifer · « **Reply #11 on:** February 18, 2005, 10:36:42 PM »

i have deleted the mentioned files and have updated from windows 30 mins ago

Eddy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 18, 2005, 10:43:26 PM »

Either you didn't or you poste the last log before you did.
Which one is it?

lee16 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2005, 10:47:32 PM »

lucifer,

The problem is the processes are still running in memory.

So open taskmanager (alt + ctrl + delete) then click on the 'processes tab at the top, then you will see a list of running processes, scroll down and look for the two 'msnappau.exe' processes and press 'kill proccess', you should then be able to delete the 'C:\Program Files\MSN Apps' folder.

let us know how this gets on
