Check to ensure all your programs are genuine then update them all (including a visit to Windows Updates to update the operating system).
Uninstall/remove Antiwpa and kill off the HJT entry thus .....
> open HJT again,
> click "scan",
> put a tick/check mark in the box to the left of that 020 entry,
> close ALL open broswer windows - including this one,
> click on Fix Checked* at the foot of the HJT window.
Once you have done that download/install & scan your computer with MBAM. Follow the instructions I gave to sarabear in post #217 above.
You are using an out of date version of HJT. Download Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2 here ……
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log (no attachments) into your next post.
DO NOT use the ”AnalyseThis” button. Its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything else yet. Most of what HJT lists will be harmless or even required by your Operating System. Someone will guide you on what to do next.
Post a fresh HJT log with an update on how the computer is operating after that.

Thanks Oddjob!
I'll do as you said and come back with a fresh log file. Thanks again for your help.
Don't forget you must delete old version(s) of java that may still be on your system. Use the Add/Remove Programs facility to do that.
Reboot & use the computer again as normal then report back. If you still have trouble post a fresh HJT log with an update on what problems you still experience.

ok, need help here. the stupid antivirusxp pro hijack got me. running zone alarm and usually catches stuff. not sure how it happened but need it back. i ran hijcackthis in safe mode, not sure what to delete. I do not have access to regedit or taskmanager, other than what is in hijackthis.
Assuming you can get online OK, to try and kill off the infection, you should download, install MBAM [free] and scan your computer with it. Let it fix anything bad that it finds.
(By the way it's not good for you to post your email addresses in open forum. Many spammers and other troublemakers have bots that crawl the web looking to harvest information like this. If you insist on revealing email addresses make sure you show them in a form unrecognisable to bots such as "dlbottAThughesDOTnet" and tell readers to replace the AT & DOT with the usual symbols. people will know what you mean).

hey thanks for answering. malware seems to work but then every time it is run again it finds two more, also, i can't seem to edit that post as you suggested for the emails. thanks for that by the way, good advice.
here is what malware found last time ran.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.34
Database version: 1853
Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts. Never rename Combofix unless instructed.
When finished it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HijackThis log in your next reply.
Note: Do not mouseclick Combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall.
Carefully examine the log from Combofix. Under the heading "Other Deletions" you will most likely find this statement >>
"Infected copy of c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe was found and disinfected
Restored copy from - c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\userinit.exe"
IF you see that then go to Start -> Run and type in combofix /u (note the space) & press OK. This will remove Combofix.
Finally update Malwarebytes, run another full scan and post the log here.

Hmm,
can Anyone View Myn,
Not Much Problem But I get a Error Message At Startup Some Regser.exe Not Found Or Something Hope someone can Help,
(note I have Edited The Ip There Where Its Written Lemme Know If Its Required Or Could Be Problem)
Ok, I need help BAD! I have my hjt log attached and I have a LOT of problems with this computer. Including explorer.exe crashes randomly, logonuiX.exe and logonui.exe errors (P.S. logonuiX.exe is a file for logon screen that is on cnet and made by wincustomize, BUT i uninstalled it and I get an error EVERYTIME I start up my PC and I get it 10 times then it takes me this gay looking OLD login screen where I have to replace Compaq_Owner with my login name and then type in my pass) PLEASE Tell me what I need to do! THANKS!
I just bought my PC and started installing some programs but suddenly my PC has started to act a little bit slow during its startup. Can someone check it please?
When I first tried to run HijackThis (version 1.99.1), I got the warning seen in the 1st attachment. So I shut the browser (Firefox) and ran HJT again. This time I didn’t get the warning.
The results are contained in the 2nd attachment. Is my system running okay or are there files that need deleting?
Thanks.

start/run/ type regedit into the box and click OK ..
(be sure you've backed up your registry beforehand and that you've got solid restore points (system restore enabled) before you edit your registry files/configs)
