Attempt to run Windows Update

Dragonsinger18, you have malware showing in your HijackThis log, but a complete log was not posted, so that is probably why the analysts did not pick it up.
Dell will be doing some forum maintenance during the next few days. We cannot get into an ongoing cleanup and risk forum slowdowns or inaccessibility, so I have replied with a link to other malware removal help forums that will advise you on running additional tools. Check the info in your topic on the HijackThis Board, and please include the header from your log (the top section with operating system info) when you repost your log.

I'm sure once the malware is cleaned, and you've reregistered the WU dll's per PudgyOne's instructions above, you'll be in good shape.

My main drive is the D drive. I don't know why.. and I think my C drive is suppose to hold restore points or something like that. My C drive is only 1.5gigs. I can't format the C drive though... it wont let me.

Please remember to post the FULL HiJackThis log by using the instructions you were given here.

Thanks, Linda. But his problem may be because he has Windows on D: Everything usually goes to C:

thank you... I can run updates now

The Vundo and fake alert entries are missing from the log you posted at SpywareHammer. Did you run an anti-malware scan, or is your updated log from another user account? With that infection, there is a chance more is hiding in there that you cannot see. I suggest that you continue with your helper at SH to look for any remnants. It would be good if you inform him of anything you have done on your own to resolve your problem.
