I have a virus on my computer that is mainly located in this Loaction…HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\ZoneMap\EscDomains. I have no idea what HKCU is and where to look for it to manually remove the files attached to this trojan. I do not have the money to pay for software or even worse a PC repair shop so I’d like to manually delete.

I thought I’d solved the problem but it turned out I hadn’t. I got a couple of trojan viruses on my computer the other day, even with NOD32 and Malwarebytes’ AntiMalware, Ad-aware, and Spybot Search and Destroy, which I know are all very good. I scanned with Malwarebytes,and it found two trojans. Here’s the log:

I deleted the two trojans, so everything was working again (I wasn’t being redirected to other sites on the internet anymore). However, this morning, the same problem has come back. I’m assuming that there is a rootkit installed somewhere, but nothing can find it. I’ve also scanned with VundoFix and RogueRemover, which didn’t find anything either. I scanned with SmitFraudFix, and the log after that came up with a HUGE list of random websites, and then this (sorry for the long question):

I’ve tried deleting what SmitFraudFix has found, but it doesn’t seem to work. If I do the scan again on SFF straight afterwards, it finds the same things, but doesn’t delete them.

So, what else is there to do? Haven’t I tried everything? Please don’t recommend programs like AVG, Norton, McAffee and Avast because they are not as good as the ones I am using, and are unlikely to find the rootkit if they better antiviruses can’t.

Thanks!

ye im not good at rebooting so i got these 4 disk when i bought my pc. I think its 1 from these 2, here what they say:

Disk 1: Dell- Device Drivers- ALready installed on your computer use thsi media to reinstall the software..

[then under it says]: For Reinstalling Dell Inspiron 531/531s Desktop Computer Software for Microsoft Windows XP.

DISK 2: Drivers and Utilities- Already installed on your computer.

[also says] DVD for Reinstalling Dell Inspiron 531s Computer software.

Content: Device drivers, Diagnostics and utilities.

Thats what the Disks say, Which 1 is the disk that will reboot[ reformat] my PC like its new.

Also what do i do? i think i restart PC and put disk in while restarting and when the Menu thing comes, press F12 [ My boot menu] and let it read or what?

Thanks

Computer. well, the Diagnostic Utility found the following in the”Conflicting Applications Test”, this test Verifyies if you have any conflicting applications installed on your computer, the test FAILED. they found the following Application Name: Norton Internet Security 2007. the Unistall Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SymSetup.{5AA2CD16-706F-41f3-87C5-2B5A031F2B3B. I removed Norton Internet Security 2007 a few months ago by using my Add or Remove Programs from the control panel, but I would like to know if I need to get the Uninstall key ”showing above”, to make sure that Norton Internet Security 2007 is completly uninstalled from my sistem because when I check the Security Center it shows that I’m running MULTIPLE Anti-Virus software in my Computer sometimes.

Thanks
