explorer.exe wants to sleep... SO DO I!

[Hunter]

I have Nortan Anti-Virus 2009. A few minutes ago it told me it had blocked two or three attacks. But explorer.exe closed randomly, (I think, I wasn't paying attention)

Now explorer.exe is opening and closing, it seems like it is trying to open but something is stopping it.

Running Windows XP, with Service Pack 3, and using WindowsBlinds.

Here are the stages of evens which happen:

1. explorer.exe is closed
2. explorer.exe loads and displays taskbar with running programs along the bottom.
3. Stays open for roughly 13 seconds including loading time.
4. Closes down

(Loops continuously)

I might be able to get you a virus log from Nortan, if someone can tell me how.

And here are the programs running:

What is wrong...

Oh and anyone know how to get rid of that iexplorer.exe ad popup virus thing? Lol

Reply soon as you can please, I want to go bed as it is late but I am not turning my PC of in case it does not come back on Lol.

That's what you get for going on porn xD

[Kalub]

Your best bet is to throw down a HiJackThis log into a parser and see what it says about the processes running. Dunno why Explorer keeps crashing though.

What is wrong...

You decided to touch yourself and were punished with some virus/malware

Download that, run it, and post the log that it creates.

Get rid of prunnet.exe.

[Hunter]

How, I can't get my anti-virus shit up...

[Hunter]

Wait, cmd.exe, delete :)

[Rentafence]

Wait, cmd.exe, delete :)
NO, NO, NO ,NO, NO! :fail:



Do you have anything better than Norton?

My firefox says most of these sites are attack sites.

[Hunter]

Scanning. And I didnt put them as trusted Lol, How do I get rid of them?

[Saggy]

Woah, this is the EXACT same virus I got yesterday, the prunnet.exe plus a whole bunch of random .tmp files running in Task Manager. I just got rid of it by doing a system restore.

[Rentafence]

You two must be porn buddies

[Hunter]

Lol, System Restore has been fuxed on my PC for a while. Cba with that shit, lets see if this program works after its finished scanning all my crap. xD

[Saggy]

You two must be porn buddies
Actually, I got it after I tried to visit Modacity. I was trying to access the site but it was down like usual, and out of nowhere, the page changes to virusremover2008. I started getting spammed with all these pop ups about Southern Asia (wtf?) and a command prompt comes up with "winvsnet.exe" in the title bar. After that, explorer kept closing and restarting. Then I did a system restore and eveything was fine.

Not trying to blame this on Modacity, most likely just a weird coinicidence, but could any of the "attacks" on this site caused this? Most likely not...

[Hunter]

How do I get rid of the trusted zone crap?

[Hunter]

AH! SHIT! Computer wont turn on because I restarted! All i want of it is my Carbine, all the other models are on my pendrive.

But there is loads of other stuff I want as well :( But I prob can't get it, im on my phone atm...

It seems like the virus has fucked my BIOS upm...

[Rentafence]

Or it might be because you decided to delete cmd

[Syuusuke]

I think what he did was use cmd prompt to delete it...

[Phopojijo]

At this point your computer is too fucked up to fix.

Reinstall Windows, it is the ONLY way...

Regardless of what anyone else tells you... it is too fucked up... you can *never* be sure that you're virus free unless you reinstall from a trusted source (IE: Windows Disk)

The days of manually cleaning malware are over.

[Bastinka]

Phopo is the virus-giver, I called it.

He does have a point though, and I'd have to agree with him. After all you do have Vista.

[Kalub]

Have you guys never heard of a log parser? Sheesh...


http://hjt.networktechs.com/ for the future.

[supersniper]

Hunter... my computer crashed not to long ago as well. I know how you feel.

[Kalub]

I can proudly say, my computer has never "crashed" only been destroyed by porn viri...

[Syuusuke]

Oh I see what he did, cmd.exe went bye bye.

[Hunter]

I didnt delete cmd.exe. It there a way I can get files of using DOS mode? If there is that mode, or by linking my hard drive to another computer.

[Evil_Monkey]

Use Linux live cd, get all the files on to your pen drive.

That's if you have a Linux disk or another computer to get it.

[Hunter]

Got hold of a Linux Live CD. I couldnt get it to connect or find my harddrive. My mum said she will buy another harddrive after xmas so I can get my files of the infected one then.

So I will be back ;) Thank god I have got my phone. I would have no online support overwisw lol.

Edit:
Whoooo, borrowed my sisters laptop and managed to make it use the desktop monitor because she is an idiot and cracked the laptop screen when pushing it backwards, how do you that? Lol.

Hooked up my mouse and keyboard as well. Sprted until after xmas... well, with the internet.
