i'm having similar problems with my pc. sorry, i'm kind of a novice, so i don't know all the right terminology(bear with me). i unzipped a folder overnight and got a run dll error by morning. i restarted and ran mcafee which found nothing. i could not access windows explorer(not IE) to delete the new folder that i unzipped. i ran spybot which found some spyware, but didn't solve the problem. i then did a system restore with msconfig.exe which seemed solve the problem...temporarily. a few hours later, the folder reappeared. and the run dll errors. i have another login on my pc, which is an admin, i used that, got the suspect folder into the trash and emptied it. no good. i tried msconfig again. would not restore back more than an hour. at some point, mcafee said that it quarantined and trashed vundo virus. i ran vundofix. which found nothing. i ran avira antivir. which found something. not sure how it's supposed to respond, but everytime it found something(everything was stored in c:username/appdata/localfiles/temp/) my modem would beep. after the beep, it showed what it found. this happened around 10-15 times. afterwards i ended up with more run dll errors. i went to msconfig again and deactivated about 4-5 (unknown)HKEY listings that run at startup. this stopped the run dll errors but changed the problem. now when the computer boots up, along with my listed programs(where the mcafee, etc icon shows) i have the safely remove hardware icon showing. i cannot remove the hardware. the hardware it lists is: WDC WD32 00AAJS-22RYA SCSI Disk Device at Bus Number 0, Target Id 0, Lun 0 when i click stop or display device components, it shows it linked into generic volume-(c): and generic volume-(d): unplugging the internet connection has no effect. i then ran combofix and spyware blaster. spyware blaster found a lot of spyware. mostly benign, but one was porn in IE(even though i haven't looked at porn in IE). combofix found nothing. i also ran combofix in safe mode and got nothing. I have no idea, but i did read a thread on afterdawn that was similar but didn't handle it all. i first noticed this early monday morning and i've been working with this since, so i may have something out of order or forgotten. can anybody help? (i plan to download hijack this and post the log to the thread. between now and then...if anybody has any ideas, i'm open.) thanks.
here's my hijack this log.
