it's baaaack. Downloader.exe back with friends.

k

when i run combo fix it says there is a newer version...but I can't get it w/o internet. Should I try to run it again in safe mode and get the newer version if I have internet in safe mode?

You can try, but I doubt a new version will do anything.

what are your thoughts on PMP2 - it's working fine, on the internet with good speed, works for a bit, stops suddenly, I run WinsockFix, reboot, it works great for a short time, over and over....(that is exactly what PMP1 does in safe mode...in normal mode internet loads in about 30 mins)

Lets not run combofix on PMP2. I don't want it to change anything.
Do this instead.

Download OTViewIt to your desktop.

• Close all windows and open it
  
• Click Run Scan and let the program run uninterrupted
  
• It will produce two logs for you, one will pop up called OTViewIt.txt, the other will be saved on your desktop and called Extras. Post both those logs here.
  
• You may need to use two posts to get it all on the forum

Why didn't I think that before?
Give me a few minutes to research what these mean.

do your thing dude, you have been great.

Hello.
Your internet dropping could be coming from your router.

Are you using a normal router? the router is rejecting your router IP: 192.168.1.x

Are you using ICS (internet connection sharing?)

no I have Verizon FIOS and do not have a static IP

according to Verizon right now PMP2 is 192.168.1.3...each are set to 'obtain automatically'

Your laptop is the problem. Figure the laptop doesn't like the other machines?

Simply put: Your laptop is not allowing PMP2 to keep a connection. I'll do alittle more research.

by obtain automatically I meant in the TPC/IP properties, I have checked 'obtain automatically', rather than 'use this IP' (since it changes sometimes..I was told to leave it there by Verizon)

this is not the same problem with PMP1 I assume?

No, PMP1 is different,

I just remembered that I made recovery discs for this computer a while back...they are all numbered...would this help us with PMP1?

Hello. I've heard back from digitalocksmith.

Sorry to inform you, but I would rather you format. By time we clean one machine, the next one is infected because your on a LAN.
See these links, they'll help.

Hey man, just wanted to thank you for all of your help...you spent a lot of time with me and I appreciate it. So, as a last resort before formatting, I called Microsoft and mentioned to them that they are running commercials that say they don't get viruses anymore, I have a virus, and can't get back up...why should I not buy a Mac? They transferred me to all sorts of levels of tech support and they had me download the new Microsoft One Live Care. I ran it with the tech on the phone we cleaned up a few areas and I'm back up and running! He felt like it was a Nortons issue and said this new one live care is the way to go for their techs to fix things instantly...it worked. Thanks again for everything on PMP1

Any new thoughts on how PMP2 is getting affected by the laptop? -again, it works fine, then needs a winsock fix to get back online.

NORTON???!?!


Glad that fixed PMP1. I have no idea why the laptop doesn't like PMP2.

Tried rebooting your router?

Digitalocksmith, if your watching, any ideas?

he said you and I got rid of all of the issues but it was Norton that was stopping it all from going back up. I even had Norton disabled and then I removed it from the control panel but it wasn't until he said to use the disc to uninstall other files completely that it started working.

Well, I'm glad that fixed it.

even with my laptop off for a day, PMP2 is still needing a winsock fix everyonce in while to get reconnected to the internet. Would the laptop still be affecting the connection if it wasn't on?

It shouldn't do.
Did you try rebooting your router?

Rebooting it should get your machines a new 192.168.1.x IP and maybe sort itself out.

I would guess the malware infection has caused a registry corruption which is creating damage to the TCP/IP stack on PMP2.

You could have a look here and try to see if these will help http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm, however if your going to format and clean install the OS, this will see you good!


Regards

when I click that link, it says dead link. My computer is still having the same issues even after rebooting the router...nevermind, I took the comma off the end

I think DL was trying to link to this.

I ran LSP fix but it didn't help. The computer runs great, just loses connection once in a while and I have to run WinsockFix to get back online...let me know if you have any more ideas. Something that we did on PMP2 changed something. Thanks man!
