My Crazy Computer's Log...Please Help!
I am having a lot of trouble with my computer. A few weeks ago I started getting a pop-up error message that says: ""msmsgs.exe Application Error: The instruction at 0x00f89bb3 referenced memory at 0x10005260. The memory could not be read." This pops up all the time, whether I'm on the internet or working in a Word document--all the time.
When I e-mailed Dell tech support they said it was spyware. So I ran my virus scan to make sure that wasn't the problem. No viruses. I then followed the directions to remove viruses & spyware from MajorGeeks.com. I downloaded and ran Ad-Aware SE, Ad-Aware VX2 Cleaner Plug-in, CCleaner, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, McAfee AVERT Stinger, CWShredder, Kill2me. I did everything as explained, step-by-step. Several viruses/adwar/malware were found and deleted/quarantined. When I rebooted in normal mode, the popup message started back immediately.
I have also removed MSN messenger from the add/remove window components window.
I finally decided to install and run Hijack This, so here is my log. If you have any ideas, please let me know. This is driving me crazy! Thanks in advance for your help!

- Make sure you have System Restore running (toggle it off and On today to get rid of any bad stuff it may have retained) and then you can just go back to an earlier time if you hit a bad site. One way to make this more obvious is to check everything in your current HijackThis and Add to Ignore List then set up Hijackthis to run at boot and to show you if it finds anything new.http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx
To avoid going to a bad site you might want to install IE-SpyAd and SpywareBlaster and make the other changes recommended at:.
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm
I used to recommend Spybot's Immunize system but have recently learned it is not as good as the one at:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htmNever hurts to do one of the free on line scans from Panda or Trend. They take a while but are pretty good.
www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/activescan.asp?
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
In addition to Microsoft AntiSpy
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/downloads/default.mspx I like to run Spybot S&D.
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Also like to run AdAware once in a while.

If you have uninstalled messenger it didn't take:
O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
Check the above then Fix Checked. Also get Killbox from one of the following
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/KillBox.zip
The first link if working can just be saved to the desktop.
The second link will need to be unzipped (extracted) to the desktop.
Start, Run, cmd, OK to bring up the black cmd screen. Type:
Run Killbox and where it says Full Path of File To Delete, put in C:\Program Files\Messenger
check delete on reboot and also DELTREE options and then hit the red button. Agree you want to delete the file and if you did not find the file anywhere else then let it reboot.
IF that gets rid of it but you really want to use messenger then download the latest version from
http://messenger.msn.com/
and see if that works for you without the errors.
