I use avast! antivirus and Comodo Firewall Pro, always up to date and running. The other day, CFP came up with a malware warning, and I kept having to deny requests from some uninstall program trying to open something else. I also have the blue desktop background that warns of spyware being detected, and to download an antivirus program or something. And when I go into Display Properties the tab for desktop/changing wallpapers isn't there. I have done a thorough virus scan with avast! in Safe Mode. Then after looking on the forums here I tried scanning and deleting with CCleaner, CWShredder, Ad-Aware 2008, Spybot S&D and ATF Cleaner. All updated versions. All of those except CWShredder found infected files. I'm not very virus/antivirus program savvy, so any help would be appreciated =] Here is the log from Kaspersky online scanner: Monday, August 11, 2008 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) Kaspersky Online Scanner 7 version: 7.0.25.0 Program database last update: Sunday, August 10, 2008 19:10:24 Records in database: 1079580 Scan settings Scan using the following database extended Scan archives yes Scan mail databases yes Scan area My Computer C:\ D:\ E:\ Scan statistics Files scanned 89832 Threat name 2 Infected objects 3 Suspicious objects 0 Duration of the scan 02:01:48 File name Threat name Threats count C:\WINDOWS\system32\wingba32.dll/C:\WINDOWS\system32\wingba32.dll Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.FraudLoad.vaya 1 C:\System Volume Information\_restore{2943CD95-F1B1-41F0-8349-FFE8E5BFF3A1}\RP124\A0070467.exe Infected: not-a-virus:Client-IRC.Win32.mIRC.631 1 C:\WINDOWS\system32\wingba32.dll Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.FraudLoad.vaya 1 The selected area was scanned.

I'm not sure if it's related to any of the viruses I have or not, but I just press the power button and it turns off, then I can turn it on without any problems. STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows Logon Process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shutdown.
Now I have my Desktop tab back in Display Properties, but I'm still getting trojan and malware warnings, the blue screen on shut down, and the About Windows window pops up after starting up my laptop. The virus and spyware etc programs aren't picking up anything though.
The best thing to do, in my opinion, if you have a trojan is to back up any documents, photos etc that you want on to an external hard drive and reformat your computer. They can be very hard to get rid of. I had one earlier this year and spent a few weeks trying to get rid of it, but it kept changing and getting deeper into my files. Eventually had to reformat and it's fine ever since. Just make sure you have your original disks for your operating system etc. to reload afterwards.
Thanks for the reply. I've thought about doing that, but I only have the OEM XP disc that came with my laptop, and I'd rather wipe the lot of it and start over with just XP installed. I don't have the money to go buy XP yet haha...so I was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of whatever I have, or most of it, for now. If it's something that's definitely not going to be easy to get rid of, I'll do the OEM install..
