log did not pop up on restart to normal mode.
no new log files in C:\
in c:\Gotcha the last file to be created was catchlog, and a few before that, combofix.txt
screenshot attached, along with combofix.txt
observations:
normal mode, avast running, cable plugged in, have opened up IE and got no popups.
opening new tab or ctrl-k in IE8 causes it to hang (which it only started doing after the initial infection)
can open new tabs in Chrome with no problem
so far no popups or outgoing threats
Java update is running as a process, but it is disabled in "startup" page of msconfig, and java quick starter is disabled in services.. could have ben called by IE opening?
