Please help me out - I work from home and my work has been suffering since a fortnight now. I have downloaded and run the following anti-Apy software (to no avail)
1. SpyBot Search & Destroy
2. Spyware Blaster
3. SpySweeper
I do not have a firewall. I have anti-virus software.
I will be eternally grateful!

Thank you so much for your time and guidance.
Naina
(even my typing is excruciatingly slow...each letter takes more than two seconds to appear on the screen after i type...)

Hi,naina

Ok let's try it like this

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {F32F8ECD-6CF3-459D-82F2-9738392C85A8} - C:\DOCUME~1\CDR\LOCALS~1\Temp\saniw.dat

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*winas] C:\WINDOWS\msagent\intl\winas.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*winas] C:\WINDOWS\msagent\intl\winas.exe rerun

Make sure you can view hidden and system files: Instructions here

Then Boot to safe mode: Instructions here

Delete the following files\folders IF still present:

C:\WINDOWS\msagent\intl\winas.exe<--This file

& do this here

Also Clean these DIRECTORY CONTENTS (Dont Delete The Folder itself)
* C:\Windows\Temp\

Wow! It took sometime - but the system does seem to have picked up speed - although not completely to what it was earlier - I can even type faster.

Thanks - I just hope that the problem has been successfully solved - following is the latest log from HijackThis

Also - do I need to turn off the System Config - it started after I logged on in normal mode after making changes in safe mode...is there anything I need to do there?

I already feel quite relieved!
Thank you!
Naina

Hi,naina

As for the Logfile i don't see any of them items
let me ask this are you running a FireWall if so
what is it please

OPPs sorry yes for the system config
just go back there & turn it off i think
by unchecking the box again

HGD

Hey!

Why do you ask about the firewall? Frankly I do not know if I am running a firewall - I haven't installed one personally and my Dad used to use this system earlier and he isn't a web surfer - so I doubt if I have a firewall...

Thank you so much!
Is there anything else I need to do so that this does not recur?
Regards,
Naina

Hi,naina

Well i asked you this because some have the WinXP one on
& then go & install one & that can start all types of problems

now i have some progs for you to download & install
if you have them just make sure to keep them updated

IE-SPYAD| IE-SPYAD is a Registry file (IE-ADS.REG) that adds a long list of known advertisers, marketers,pushers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer. Once IE-ADS.REG is "merged" into your Registry, most direct marketers and pushers will not be able to resort to their usual "tricks" (e.g., cookies, scripts, popups, et al) in order to monitor and track your behavior while you surf the Net.


SpywareBlaster| doesn't clean and scan for spyware it-prevents it from ever being installed..

SpywareGuard| provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.

MRU-BLASTER| Protect your privacy - MRU-Blaster can detect and clean over 30,000 MRU lists and other stores of hidden information on your computer!

also i would say get a FireWall it is needed today in a big way
i am also adding this link here have a look at it great info

Link http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

if you need or want a FireWall just ask there are
links & Free

HGD

Thank you so much for the links - I will download the ones I do not have ASAP. I had downloaded the IE-SPYPAD but I did not know what to do with it - I downloaded the zip file - would you kindly direct me to someplace which tells me to how to "merge" it with the registry? And I would be obliged if you would kindly direct me to where I can find a suitable firewall.

Many thanks!
You have no idea what a headache you have relieved - my work had really been suffering because of these ads!

Best Regards,
Naina

Hi,naina

For info on how to use & install IE-SPYPAD

go here you should see the info to help you
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

For a good free firewall try ZA for now as you
get to know FireWalls you may want to move up

Best of luck to you let me know how it gos
