Hi badpolarbear suggested I could post my log file here and Brad may be able to have a look and suggest a fix. I am very new to this so I request much patience. Thank You historian

Were you having problems with this machine?
What were they?

The only thing i see that i would remove is hotbar.You should be able to remove it from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.This is of course,optional.

You may also want to remove windows messenger by going to Add/Remove Programs then click on Add/Remove Windows Componets on the left side and uncheck Windows Messenger.

As liljim said, you've just got a little Hotbar going.
Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following: (They may or may not be there)

HbInst.exe

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Hotbar] C:\Program Files\Hotbar\bin\4.3.2.0\HbInst.exe /Upgrade

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

Hotbar

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\Program Files\Hotbar

Now, empty your TEMP Folder / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

Since this post I worked on the pc myself. I ran CWShredder, Hijack This, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, Ad-Aware and installed SpywareGuard. I also used RegVac to clean the registry. My next task is to see if I can walk this client through "how to run Hijack This again, save the log and post it".







Hey Jim:

This was a challenge.

did brad pass?

This was no test. When I first got on the machine that morning some really cool stuff showed up. MyDoom, Netsky, SoBig, BearGum and of course Sasser. This was the remains of the day. The log was actually posted before we got rid of HotBar. This was not a test, it was just to make sure my thinking was correct and to get second, third or how many ever other peoples input. It was also to show people there are places to go to get help without having to pay guys like me all the time. Thats right Im trying to put myself out of business. Daniel
