Hi, Linda.

Please visit this site and follow the instructions for uploading the C:\Qoobox\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt file.

I would also like to see an extra ComboFix report:

   
• Push the "Windows Key" + "R" (between the "Ctrl" button and "Alt" Button)
• Please copy and past the following into the box:
  C:\Qoobox\Add-Remove Programs.txt
• click Ok

Copy and paste the report into this topic for me to review.

How is your computer running now?

Hi, Linda.  Excellent!

Please do the following to implement cleanup procedures and also to reset System Restore points:

Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold text into the Run box and click OK:

ComboFix /Uninstall

Note: In the event you wish to contribute to the ongoing development of ComboFix, the developer is accepting donations via PayPal.


Next, right-click on the downloaded Security Check on your desktop and select delete.

As you know, you are missing vital Service Packs for Windows Vista.  As a result, your computer is out of support and you are not getting critical security updates.  It is extremely important that you update first to SP1 and follow that with SP2.  Go to Service Pack Center for additional information.  Note, however, that there prerequisites for installing service packs.  Thus, the best course of action is to turn on automatic updates, as indicated at the Service Pack Center.

Since only part of the log posted, I can't tell if you have other out-of-date, vulnerable programs installed on your computer.  However, there is another way for you to be sure you have the most up-to-date software.  To check if your system is missing security updates or has insecure applications, install Secunia Personal Software Inspector or, alternatively, visit http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ .  The Secunia Software Inspector runs through your browser with no installation or download required and does the following:

• Detects insecure versions of applications installed
  
• Verifies that all Microsoft patches are applied
  
• Assists you in updating your system and applications
  

Install and update SpywareBlaster to prevent the installation of spyware and other potentially unwanted software: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

My favorite security software is WinPatrol which includes the features described at http://www.winpatrol.com/features.html

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry about the log, I forgot to look for EOL.
I will be happy to donate to ComboFix.  I was also looking on this site for a donation button and didn't see one.  Is there a way I could contribute?

I will follow your steps, and see that you have gotten very busy.

I hope I didn't take you away from your family for to long.

You Are A Hero.

Linda ... Corrine is indeed a hero  :rose:

This site is run by volunteers, and your thanks is enough for us.  We'd rather you contribute to the author of ComboFix, or upgrade to a WinPatrol Plus membership.

*BLUSH*  Thank you!

I agree completely with Winchester73.  A donation to the developer of ComboFix or treat yourself to a license to WinPatrol or to Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware -- both of which are a one-time license fee, not a recurring annual fee.

I have updated everything.  I didn't realize having something like itunes out of date would be a problem so for now on I will stay on top of it.

The only concern I have is, Secunia didn't recognize my updates.  But I have double checked updated programs and they appear updated.

WinPatrol Plus is on my shopping list.

Thanks again.

Linda

[linda93]

Sorry again.

I guess I had two Adobe Flash updates I needed to do, and though I didn't want itunes mobile, I guess it contains patches that I need.

So now I come up clean.

Linda

[winchester73]

Everything is back to normal?

Which Secunia are you running?  I personally don't use the PSI, but do recommend the OSI.

[linda93]

I just ran Secunia OSI again to be sure and I come up clean.   :thumbsup:

Thanks windchester73.
