I am not sure whether you noticed the message. In the HijackThis report
Alberto posted to me there seemed to be some evidence of malware present
on his system.

Default Re: Services won't start - nothing responds

Kelly,

I'm not sure that getting the drivers for the Unknown adapter will work, but
I will try it. I assume that since the printer won't work, and trying to
"Copy" files to a backup drive doesn't work, that even if I have the drivers
I won't be able to launch the update.

I can open files, like pictures and such, and then save them individually to
a backup drive, but not as a group using Windows Explorer. Nothing happens at
all.

BTW - I have posted the HiJack log to aumha and I might try
bleepingcomputers as well.

Thanks,
Albert

Default Re: Services won't start - nothing responds

Hi Gerry,

Yes, I did scan over it. Beings the adapter is unknown - made me think that
it wasn't simply that the virus, etc disabled the adapter as I have seen
happen very often. For it to be unknown means the drivers simply aren't
installed.

If it were listed as disabled then I would have focused back again to seeing
the proxy over-ride via the HJT report and would have suggested both the LSP
and WinSockFix.

Default Re: Services won't start - nothing responds

Hi Albert,

That would be the first place I would begin. I also noticed that your audio
seemed compromised. On line 371 I have a reg file that restores many
services that become disabled due to malware exploits.

Default Re: Services won't start - nothing responds

Kelly,

I hope I get this fixed before I have to travel from CA to Louisiana :-)

I'm glad you spotted the audio; that is actually when all of this started. I
called Emachines one night and after poking around the Tech tells me that the
on-board audio can sometimes die. I tried to install a Soundblaster card but
that failed. I realize now that it probably had to do with the Cryto service
not working so it couldn't/wouldn't load properly. It is also around the time
when the MS security updates started failing to install.
I will try to run the reg update you have tonight - is there anything else
you can think of to try regarding all the services being shut down, or do I
just wait for the results of my HiJack This log to be checked?

Thanks,
Albert

Default Re: Services won't start - nothing responds

Kelly,

I downloaded the reg file to a USB stick at work and brought it home; I
cannot copy & paste any files anymore, so I ran the EXE from the stick. I
couldn't detect any changes, or writing of entries, although I did get a
popup asking if I wanted to make a registry change. Nothing new on the audio
situation though - when opening "Sounds" from the Control Panel it still
says audio not installed (or not found) and I have no "sounds".
