Like i said go to safe mode fire up hjt, remove those 2 O6 entries.

Fix also this line here: O23 - Service: SeekappSrch Service - Unknown owner - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\SeekappSrch\seekapp139.exe

Next step is to remove the SeekappSrch Service which you will do by running the command prompt and typing sc delete SeekappSrch Service

Then navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\ and delete the SeekappSrch folder and all it's contents

Restart the pc and post a fresh hjt log ...

WOT is not all that good since any newbie, idiot, malware writer, etc can rate any website.

Polonus suggested Finjan and I suggest you start using that before your computer becomes a door stop.

I have become to believe that.

Edit: Ratz!  Finjan is not Windows 7 compatable yet.

Have to say, I don't use it myself. but will continue to support the overall principle - self organising systems for welfare in general community like WOT attempts to be.

BTY I'd better not clutter this thread anymore. May look at new thread,  :)

F12 is usual boot from network. Try F8.

When I tryed F8, it just blinked a _ on and off at the topper left corner. I restarted, tryed again, restarted and tryed again 8 more times. Then I didn't do anything, well, normal mode didn't do anything eather, so I was forced to restart and press F12 and select normal to get my computer running. I'm even more  ???.

Im hardware. I get to F8 and thats it. Maybe check your jumpers again, because you should be able to boot into Safe Mode. Sometimes you have to hold the key down or on off.

-= Try this instead.. I would recommend you to memorize the whole steps so you won't have any problems reverting back to normal mode from safe mode since you wont be able to connect to the internet when in safe mode..

(1) Start Menu
(2) Run
(3) Type msconfig
(4) Then go to Boot.ini tab
(5) Tick /SAFEBOOT
(6) OK

-= I hope you may now be able to boot into safe mode.. By the way, after going to safemode you will have to uncheck the /SAFEBOOT button to boot normally..

I can't get internet in Safe Mode.

You need to select Safe Mode with Networking though i don't understand why you are even mentioning this here since we don't need internet access we just need to enter Safe Mode ...

Im hardware. I get to F8 and thats it. Maybe check your jumpers again, because you should be able to boot into Safe Mode. Sometimes you have to hold the key down or on off.

What do jumpers have to do with entering safe mode ??!

@Donovansrb10:

 # Turn the computer on or Restart the computer
# Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Boot Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
# Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected (the top option)
# Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.

When you're in Safe Mode follow my previous instructions.

@Donovansrb10: Do you have MalwareBytes Anti-Malware installed ? If you do please also run a quick scan with it, fix any nasty entries it finds and post the log here.

Yes, of course, to this too. I can’t recall I ever felt the need to access the internet in Safe Mode. I do recall somewhere a discussion about it. And I agree, booting into Safe Mode is the pressing concern.
BTW, interesting infection Donovansrb10 has picked up, don't you think?

Donovansrb10 has already posted his interesting hard disks setup in the forum. I would tackle an infection like this with only one HDD operative. That would be  HDD that holds the system drive.

As it now stands, Donovansrb10 cannot boot into Safe Mode. It is common for a computer which does not have its jumpers set up correctly to halt exactly how Donovansrb10’s is saying.

It is possible and from what I recall does happen when jumpers are not correctly set for a hard disk with system drive to run the operating system from the slave drive. However, the OS is not stable in so much as it might halt. This from what I recall. In these cases, booting into Safe Mode may return an incorrect interrupt request, sufficientlly incorrect to halt the boot.
