Should I just post the logs in the malware forum? Is there something else I can run to find out what's up?

I have all those logs but I need to know what to do next. For GMER I had to unclick devices for it to run (didn't like the shadow protect driver it seems). Lastly I went into safe mode and was able to run DDS, GMER and Malwarebytes. Blank screens, crashes but eventually told me that CMD.exe was causing a problem before crashing one more time. I then tried the Microsoft rootkit indentifier. Many posts recommended taking a few logs so I tried to run DDS and GMER.

I tried Malwarebytes but it kept finding an object and then immediately crashed.Īfter reading many posts/topics I didn't find any common posts that would indicate that I could find a common solution and fix it myself. I ran CCleaner (I know now that I should probably not have and asked for help first but I'm new to this kind of thing). This got me back the internet but no firewall or avast. The next thing I tried was a system restore (as an update was done recently I used the one before that). I also noticed that I had no internet access and a whole bunch of other services failed to start (including Windows Firewall). I tried manually starting the Avast service and it failed with the error 'Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion' Trying to enable the protection again failed (no message). I was logged on recently when I noticed my Avast was no longer running.

I think I'm infected or have a serious problem with my Vista OS.
