Hacking and spyware removal

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi, I get alot of system crashes lately and completly being thrown off the
internet. I then noticed blinking of the screen when asking to do certain
tasks. I have Norton Anti Virus running and is up to date. Everything from
AOL{my ISP} to main commands of the system act up and will not function. When
I restart my computer, go into SAFE MODE, Click System Restore, the problem
does not go away and keeps doing the same thing. I try running commands in
the RUN box and the function comes up and then dissappears, I also try
deleting some file's that may have currupted other tasks and it will not let
me. I then had two viruses that Norton picked up and nothing happened and
then deleted.." So either theres more I cant see" or, it's verry possible
that my computer is being run by someone other than me. Thanks for any help
and advice.

From the C: drive copy over ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini.
Disconnect the C: drive and then use the WinXP CD to boot into the Recovery
Console. From there you are interested mainly in the Bootcfg command.
Check here for a Description of the R.C.

Chickenbone, disregard that last post. It was for another poster. YOU,
should check for malware. Use all of these free
sites if AOL allows you the option.

Download, install, update and run all of the following.

Ad-Aware
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/aawsepersonal.exe

Spybot search and destroy
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/spybotsd14.exe

Ewido Security Suite Trial version
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/ewidosetup.exe

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=321CD7A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to this group so that
I can analyze it. Ignore anyone especially the troll Leythos, who will tag
along a nonsense post to this message, who tells you to post it elsewhere. I
need to see it not them.

Only download software you can validate as uncompromised - in the case
of the pcbutts1 site you have no guarantee that the files are unmodified
or uncompromised - the pcbutts1 poster does not provide VALID links to
the vendors website, doesn't not provide a proper/valid MIRROR site in
compliance with the vendors guidelines, and has not even given proof
that he has permission to host the files on his private site.

Also, do not post your log files here - there are HiJack groups for just
that purpose, not to mention all the web based forums setup for looking
at them.

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

Except that none of them know about his sites, and he's not posting
anything proving that they have given permission to host their files on
his site WITHOUT giving them credit for it.

AdAwareSE can be found here:
http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

SpyBot Search and Destroy can be found here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Ewido Security Suite Trial can be found here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

You can also download Symantec Trial version of their Antivirus software
from here:
http://www.symantec.com/downloads/

Download AVG Personal Free edition from here:
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

Unlike the links that butts provides, these are the actual vendors sites
and you don't have to question their authenticity or if they are free
from infection or malware.
