OK, third time's a charm
Had a nice long description of what's going on with my son's PC, and was trying to upload all the ding-dang log files from MBAM, OTL, and ascMBR, and because of the problems that particular computer is having ( ie: wouldn't show the verification doo-hickey thing below), I could not post the message to the forum at all. SO, I have now copied the logs to a disc, moved my butt over to my computer and am attaching the required files to this message.. :/
Basically we have a legacy Dell PC that I did a little upgrading on so my son could use it for school ( ha!) etc. It runs Windows XP, I have Iobit Advanced System Care 5 ( without antivirus) and Avast Internet Security 7 running on it for defense purposes.
It recently started sending out "Threat Detected" alarms every time he'd go online, especially any links that contained google. His iGoogle home page wouldn't load either in IE8 or Firefox 12. I could only get onto the Avast forum through the Avast IS UI, and almost every bleeping webpage throws up a "URL:MAL".
I ran MBAM the first time it found Win32:Rloader-B, which I deleted. a few Win32: PUP files, which I also deleted, then I restored a few files that were quarantined but were related to an Age of Empires game he plays.
Ran MBAM again, came up clean. Log File attached.
Ran OTL: Log files attached.
Ran ascMBR: log file attached. Applied the "fix" then rebooted.
Still won't load pages worth a damn...
I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I've spent way more time than a SAHM ought to working on this thing...lol
Please, lmk what else I should post, do , etc before chucking the whole computer out into the field..
Thanks,
Elizabeth
