I have been searching for help until i found this site.
My first problem is while im browsing the internet.The first couple of minutes are ok.For example i can browse my pc with ease with getting red dots all over the place when i go to different sites.For example today i went to ign.com.The first time i went it was ok.Then when i went back i got red dots all over the place.This problem can be fixed by disconnected from the internet the reconnected byt when 5 or 6 minutes are up it does the same thing all over again.
First off Welcome to CTH!
The following will help us fix atleast the 2nd problem.
I suggest you download Spybot from http://www.download.com/Spybot-Searc...ml?tag=lst-0-2 , install it, update it, and run the scan. When it is done, fix everything. This will get rid of the bad things, if a useful program stops working let us know and we can reverse that.
Run the File> Click Scan> Click Save Log> Save it anywhere> and paste the log here (copy and paste) after quickly scanning through it to make sure that it doesn't say your name anywhere if you are concerned about privacy.
This program shows us all the changes that have been made to internet explorer, the only reason it would show your name is if that is a folder name.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [helpw] "helpw.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [1A:Stardock TrayMonitor] "C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\STARDOCK\TRAYSERVER.EXE"
Did you run spybot before hijack this or after? If you did it after I need you to make sure you have run spybot and had it scan and fix the problems it finds and then run hijack again and post a new log.
If you ran hijack after spybot fixed everything, then spybot missed a few things that I don't know how to remove, but someone else will.
You seem to have a Virus in there the startup prog "cvchost.exe" .. when Spybot was run was it updated before the scan?
also visit this site to remove sysstartup.jopa IF YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT WITH REGISTRY EDITING wait for one of the HJT experts to assist you with the repair..
You could also d/l and run Stinger from McAfee: free tool.
