    Hi,

    I see two issues in your log. I don't know if either would cause the usb issues, that may turn out to be a question to be asked in a hardware forum.

    There are two kazaa related lines in the log. I found these instructions:
    http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache...zaa.shtml+sfcont.dll&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us

    You can try those and then have hijackthis fix these two lines:

    O2 - BHO: RXResultTracker Class - {59879FA4-4790-461c-A1CC-4EC4DE4CA483} - C:\Program Files\RXToolBar\sfcont.dll (file missing)
    O18 - Filter: text/html - {2AB289AE-4B90-4281-B2AE-1F4BB034B647} - C:\Program Files\RXToolBar\sfcont.dll

    The other thing is something called pokapoka.
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System service76] C:\WINDOWS\etb\pokapoka76.exe

    I am not sure about the proper removal steps for this one.

    You could start by trying this online scan. If that doesn't do it, I can try to find some other instructions for you.

    Run AVG - OnLine scan:
    http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/
    Save the report

    Post the scan report and a new hijackthis log in your next reply.

    You can fix this line in HijackThis:
    O18 - Filter: text/html - {2AB289AE-4B90-4281-B2AE-1F4BB034B647} - (no file)

    I am not good with LSP lines. My advice is to leave this one alone right now.
    O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP provider 'c:\program files\bonjour\mdnsnsp.dll' missing

    (Ref: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html#O10Diag )

    If that relates to an application you are no longer using and you want to remove it, I will try to work out steps for you – the first would be looking in add/remove programs for the application.

    The only other thing I see is to uninstall your old Java version and update to the current version. I will find steps for that if you want them.

    Regards.

    That LSP is V as Valid, so don't touch that O10-line or you can say "goodbye" to your internet-connection.

    Thanks etzo.

    thanks for the help.. so i should use HijackTHis to take care of the 018 line?
     
  8. bluecoal

    bluecoal Guest

    Yes, you may fix the O18 line with HijackThis.

    USB issue - I'm just asking questions - perhaps the information will give somebody an idea for a suggestion.

    Did you install the Bonjour application?

    What sorts of usb devices are we talking about that don't work or install properly?

    Did they ever work or install properly?

    If they did, is there some application you installed just before they stopped working or installing properly?

    NO i have no idea what the bonjour program is, and whenever windows is logged on and i plug in either an ipod or camera or my cell phone into the usb port the computer will restart right away then the usb devices will work fine when rebooted.. except for my sisters ipod, whenever its plugged in the computer will either stop doing anything until its unplugged, cause the reboot, or else once i got it to show up in itunes and it said the ipod was corrupt.

    etzo,
    You have any comments on this one?

    Since it is a networking related program, I am wondering if it could somehow affect the devices. BUT I don't know if it came with a legitimate application and is needed for that, or whether it was a tagalong from some of the Kazaa stuff.

    Is it appropriate to look in add remove programs and try to uninstall it if it is there?

    bc

    EDIT
    (bonjour = apple ipod = apple ? Wonder if those two are supposed to go together and there is a problem in the setup somehow?)

    i was able to find this on the bonjour searching google.....

    >c:\program files\bonjour\mdnsnsp.dll

    Related to Bonjour for Windows.

    Bonjour for Windows, also known as 'zero-configuration networking' is a tool that enables user to instantly discover computers, devices, and services on IP networks. This networking protocol from Apple includes Printer Wizard and IE Plugin which allow devices to automatically discover each other without configuring the IP addresses and DNS servers. Note: File is located under C:\Program Files\Bonjour
