Left over problems after virus [HJT log]

Hi. I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 Laptop with windows xp. 256MB and 2.40GHz. I had a virus some time ago, and although I have rid myself of that, I seem to have some left-over problems.

Every time I shut down my computer I get the following errors:

HIDSXML2.EXE DLL Initialization failed. Application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.

I get the same error right after that, but with: WDICNV32.EXE.

I just ran bugdoctor and Webroot Sweeper. The bugdoctor came up with quite a few errors and supposedly fixed them, but the shut down problem still exists. I found no errors when I did a sweep of my computer using webroot.

I also downloaded "startuplist.txt" with the following report:

If anyone can help me out with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. I still seem to have a few problems with my system being really slow and crashing. . but there doesn't seem to be any viruses left.

Thanks for your help!

 

Well, I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work. I still have the error messages. If I have an undetected virus, how do I find it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I have run all of the antivirus scans I can think of, but the problem won't go away. Other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any other suggestions, Please!!??

 

Your first post contains too much information. Suggest you upgrade hijackthis and run it to get a new log file and post it. There are a few folks that can study it but are turned off by the overkill of information.

 

thanks for the suggestion. . . I will do that and maybe start a new thread??

It was already gone when I went back in and ran hijackthis again. I had run some anti-virus stuff after I posted the last log, so maybe it took it away. The error messages I keep getting when I shut down are still there. I feel like I'm missing something that might have been deleted? Something in registry or the HKLM area?

 

Hello rrb9hi,

Start shutting down background processes to see whether that narrows the problem down.

Look up background apps/processes - links to databases here:

I tried shutting down background processes and didn't receive any errors. I'm not sure if I did that right or now.

I checked out some of the anti-spyware. . all cost money and I have already paid for several trying to fix this problem.

I need to keep trying to fix it without buying tons of software that doesn't seem to do the trick. I will keep looking I guess.

Thanks,
Renee

 

Hi Renee,

That link I gave you is about the programs not to get - Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites - ask here for recommendations.

I tried shutting down background processes and didn't receive any errors.
Does that mean your error free now and don't know which process might have caused it?

What I asked you to do is: shut down a process, shut the system down, and then try another, and so on.

Regards - Charles

 

Ok, I guess I was confused with your information. Sorry. I will keep away from that software you showed me. I guess I better try the shutting down process thing again. . sounds like that is going to take me awhile.
