i usually just reinstall the operating system if i have a problem that i cant figure out.
i have all my files, like music and shit on a second harddrive so i can format the c drive when reinstalling.
itll make your computer faster and it should solve your problem.
the only downside is you have to reinstall all the programs you had again.
i usually keep every install .exe file i ever download on the second harddrive too.
 
what program? ...

dont wanna install a bunch of crap i dont need.. . someone who actually knows what they're doing can figure stuff out from the log i just posted
 
looks like your system is infected with a worm and the computer is restarting to prevent the worm from attaching your network/devices.

your log looks normal, with just left over crap and installs.

try install and running this from symantecs, but before you do, disconnect yourself from internet ie unplug Ethernet wire or wireless device:
W32.Blaster.Worm Removal Tool - Symantec.com

then install and run this:
SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware!

i found it to be much better than adaware and spybot. if it doesnt install, rename the file "S_A_S.exe" and it should install.

After the two scans from mentioned programs, let me know. Good luck.
 
Screw all that. Installing more things to remove things is never a good solution. Back up what you need, scan those files you need (with another different clean computer) with ad-aware and avg and trend micro and maybe something else just to be safe. Reinstall. Restore important files. Call it a day.

Or, get an external hard drive adapter and connect it to another computer. Scan it without booting windows off of it. It's a whole lot easier than trying to fight with crippled tools.

Best tool in the world, if you want to fight them, process explorer from sysinternals, now available under/from microsoft. I'm not taking the time to explain the ins and outs of that program but it has the capabilities you need to track the infection/problem down and freeze it in it's path to allow time to remove.

try updating the adaware definitions today and then run the program again.

Also in highjackthis, select
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
and chose to fix it.

I would also ditch McAfee and use AVG for an anti virus program it's a hell of a lot better.

Another thing to do, in add/remove programs uninstall myway search assistant. you can thank Dell for that one being installed by the factory.

to test if you actually have this virus "Win32.Trojan.KillAV"
click start> run > and type "regedit"

if regedit opens that's not the problem. if regedit won't open or crashes the system look into finding a virus removal tool for the Win32.Trojan.KillAV removal tool

if your using XP, maybe we can set up a remote assistance for me to log in and take a peak around.

which one was that?? i dont remember
 
Those are both files associated with a wireless network card. Do you have on installed ??

I doubt removing spybot or ad-aware is going to help

3 Adware-MyWebSearch, that's from the myway search assistant. add/remove programs and uninstall any program with the name myway, mywayserach in the title.
 
I don't know why you don't just reinstall. Is this a production server? If it's just a desktop workstation, screw it... I'm tellin ya. Read what I said above...

Wasting time and effort....

Download SCVNC if you do a lot of tech support. No settings necessary. They (the client) downloads that tiny preconfigured app, it connects out to you, and ur good. When your done, it completely removes from the client's system.

My mom's had a Trojan virus before. I don't know much about computers, and I had to reinstall everything when I couldn't figure it out.

Shit, my ex was into computers, I'm not sure but I could've swore he said most Trojans were similar or the same type of virus.

I found this. Don't know if it'll help at all.
PC Hell: Bymer Trojan - wininit.exe trojan

It might lead you to something helpful anyway.

I could've sworn the virus came about from too much downloaded porn....sigh. Courtesy of my brother.

didnt find it.. but it did make McAfee pop up with a trojan detected .. the other worm program i ran did the same thing but a different trojan

done tons of scans.. i'll try ad-aware again to see if it shuts me down...

home desktop

i'd rather not have to download all my music, programs, etc again... this will be the last resort if all else fails
 
Go to the run command type regedit and then navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
show a screenshot if you can.
