Help with infections (MalwareBytes/HiJackThis logs)

I just joined the forum, and read with interest the Removing something bad thread.

Per the advise to this poster, I downloaded MalwareBytes and HijackThis, and have run both, and will present the log results here.

A little background, quickly: I have a used computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 that had been on a small business' network. I, for the first time, just went online with it via AT&T's High-Speed DSL internet service about 10 days ago. The last several days have been a nightmare, but I'll spare you the details since most of you have heard them before.

Here are the reports:

As per advise, I deleted the infections via the MalwareBytes program, but have not done anything with the analysis from the HiJackThis program yet. I'm awaiting more advise.

Early on with this problem, I noticed an alert - purportedly from Microsoft security - that some key files had been altered or replace (forgot the terminology), and I now notice that if I set security settings (cookies, etc) higher they do not take, and all settings continually default to the minimum settings.

I've been getting several other alerts purporting to be from my operating system, but one infection report has the misspelling "pervent" instead of "prevent", which suggests its a fraud, and otherwise, I've had alerts that require an "OK" or "Save" which I've avoided doing but saw the "Save" button depress automatically. Numerous other problems

Please advise about how I should proceed with the information obtained from HiJack this, and also advise on how to initiate better security, programs to buy or use, things to avoid, and so on. I did install a 30-day trial of Kapersky's Security - is this a good one or do you recommend another as a permanent anti-virus/spyware program? Should I buy MalwareBytes?

One last thing. After being fooled by phony Microsoft security alerts, I deleted quite a few files and folders out of frustration and confusion. One was Intel PROSet, which I think was a mistake. I've not been able to figure out where to find - or even if - those files can be re-installed after searching my computer and visiting Intel's website. Help on this is appreciated, too.

Do I need to re-install the whole operating system? (I don't have a disc. I bought this computer used and the Disc Drive does not work for some reason - another problem yet to be resolved). Is having an outdated operating system (Windows 2000) part of my problem and will likely lead to a repeat of these problems?

As I mentioned, I'm new to having the internet at home, and have been so stressed that I'm considering cancelling the service - but then the terrorists win. :) I'm encouraged by finding this forum and using the programs recommended, as I may be getting my computer back.

All help is very, very much appreciated.

Hello:

Download and Run ComboFix
If you already have Combofix, please delete this copy and download it again as it's being updated regularly.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.
 
Download and Run ComboFix

I downloaded and ran ComboFix. I read in some instructions before doing so that I should disable third-party security software, and so I "paused" Kaspersky. When running ComboFix, I got the message:
"Cannot import temp00.dat; Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes".

The log file:

Before running ComboFix, I was getting an "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close (forgot the exact wording)" message, and had to leave the message open and unacknowledged to allow me to remain connected online and converse with you here. That message is gone now, and I can also set my privacy settings in the Control Panel / Internet / Privacy settings, which continually defaulted to zero before.

I very much appreciate this help! Upon reviewing the logs, further advise?

How is your computer running now?

Is it back to how it was before the infections?

Or are you still having problems? :)

I'm not noticing any problems at all now. Before, I had many, many problems going on. FANTASTIC!

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH! :)

Any other recommendations at this point?

I just installed the 30-day trial of Kaspersky Internet 2009, and re-enabled it. Do you recommend another instead? Others?

Anything I should do to avoid these problems again?

Is my having Windows 2000 a problem, and should I update it?

Thanks! :)

One more for the time being, just to make sure there's nothing left. :)

Run Kaspersky Online AV Scanner
Using Internet Explorer Go to http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/default/kavwebscan.html and click the Accept button at the end of the page.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.
  • Read the Requirements and limitations before you click Accept.
  • Allow the ActiveX download if necessary.
  • Once the database has downloaded, click Next.
  • Click Scan Settings and change the "Scan using the following antivirus database" from standard to extended and then click OK.
  • Click on "My Computer" and then put the kettle on!
  • When the scan has completed, click Save Report As...
  • Enter a name for the file in the Filename: text box and then click the down arrow to the right of Save as type: and select text file (*.txt)
  • Click Save - by default the file will be saved to your Desktop, but you can change this if you wish.
Copy and paste the report into your next reply along with a fresh HJT log and a description of how your PC is behaving.


In your next reply i will need:
  • The Kaspersky report
  • A fresh HiJackThis report
  • An update on how your computer is running (Even a little faster matters)

Run Kaspersky Online AV Scanner

More problems, of a different nature. I tried to run Kaspersky Online, but I got a message saying I needed to update my Java version. While downloading that, I checked on another thread I placed in this forum asking for help in finding Intel PROSet files, which I had deleted mistakenly while frustratingly trying to stop my infections. Well, on the Softpedia website that I was referred to for the Intel files, there was prominently advertised another program, Driver Detective, and I downloaded it to see if I was missing any other files from my desperation deleting before finding this forum.

Well, I ran Driver Detective, and noticed that it would proceed through its progress bar to completion, then immediately start over, and do the same... at least 15 times. The Cancel button was inactive. Knowing that usually a progress bar shows progress from start to completion, once... I realized that something was wrong but I was unable to stop it (no Cancel). I finally turned off my computer.

When I turned it on, I get a blue screen with DOS-like white font Stop Error screen, "Inaccessible Boot Device".

I explain it in detail in the Hard drive thread since it refers to the hard drive in the message: The details in that thread is at Stop Error Screen: Inaccessible Boot Device

Please help me. I'm melting.... I'm melting... I'm melting
