since FixVundo didn't work for you, we'll try another approach:

Based on the line:

O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {827DC836-DD9F-4A68-A602-5812EB50A834} - C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\abrac.dll

you should try following the information (Atribune's VundoFix) given here:

http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=si_hijack&message.id=16923#M16923

 

When you're done, generate another HiJackLog for yourself.   Hopefully, the line I listed above will no longer be present... and if so, we're heading in the right direction.  However, it's highly probable that you'll find it replaced by another O2-BHO:MSEvents line, but with a different filename (i.e., something other than abrac.dll).   If so, I want you to repeat the entire Atribune process again... and again... as long as you continue to get a new O2-BHO:MSEvents line.  In fact, don't be surprised if you have to do this a total of ELEVEN (11) times, before you finally get a log without an O2-BHO:MSEvents

[explanation:   the reason why i'm saying this, is that you have 11 files listed in your O20 section that would appear to be "suspicious".   odds are, as soon as you delete one of them (like abrac.dll), another one from the O20 list (such as bin.dll) will "create" a corresponding O2-BHO: MSEvents for itself.   And so on, until you go thru the Atribune process, one by one, to remove them all.   But let me emphasize, repeat the process ONLY IF you get a "replacement" O2-BHO:MSEvents... do not try use the Atribune process for any other O20 filenames, unless i specifically tell you to do so.

when you believe your finally done, generate and post your revised HJT log,  appending it to this same thread (do NOT start a new thread).  good luck

mandi_u:   glad to hear things seemed to have worked for you.

 

it would still be prudent for you to now post your latest HJT log here, so that

1) I can confirm the work you've done so far, and

2) someone else could then determine additional problems, if any, that you might have.

 

 

s_mocko:

due to the highly complex and personalized nature of HiJackThis analysis, we can only consider one person's log per thread.   this thread belongs to the first person to post their log [mandi_u].   please start a new thread of your own, and post your log there.
