so, u may or may not use LimeWire.. I used to..
If you do use it, you are familiar with a new version coming out, and auto downloading into your limewire library.
Usually, I've had no problem with this... but the downside is, your downloading off of other users.. not directly from the site.
anyhow...
I've been cleaning up this mess for a while.

yeah,it figures,i have limewire too,you just have to make sure you scan what ever you download.I do recall trying to download this one program that was in .rar format,well it didn't matter how many times i tried to download it from other sources,the file itself was infected which in turn,other people downloaded it,and their pc's became infected.definitly do a scan on whatever file ya download ..etc...

good man steven........all im sayin is that maybe that's the only option...if nothing else works...reformat...and remember,stay on top of that sh*it......scan for spyware/trojan's/ad-ware...etc.....maybe as much as possible.
Lastweek,i had fix my friend tanya's pc......p2 400MHZ 128Mb RAM Windows 98 SE......
I've never worked on or seen a pc that had so many virus's/spyware/adware in my entire life..it's was the worst.
I ran spy-bot,CWShredder,AVG,Registry fix,regcleaner.....problem after problem...even her TCP/IP STACK was damaged and she just got hooked up to the www and she couldn't do sh*t..and to top it all off,she didn't even have the windows 98 SE disk,it was a major pain,but, i got the disc for her,got rid of all of the virus's and finally earlier today i totally cleaned up her pc,she likes to download screensavers,she uses smileycentral,mywebsearch...all that crap.....etc
So good luck,i know it's a major pain in the arse tryin to get to the root of the problem......later...........

Removing those processes wasn't really where I was headed. Obviously you cannot delete explorer.exe. What I was illustrating is that there are trojans and worms that utilize these processes, as opposed to creating there own.
It seems to me that that is exactly what was happening on supersteven's machine, as the problem was not evident in safe mode where some of these processes may not have been loaded.
In situations like this, formatting and reinstalling the OS is definitely your best bet. We have exhausted many methods of removing the infection that did not work. It is likely a kernal-level virus that cannot be picked up by conventional means, if by any at all. Many people are scared of a rip and reinstall of the OS, but it's not that hard. Just back up your files externally, scan them before putting them back on the HD after the reinstall, and you're good to go. Nice, healthy PC.
I never suggested that he actually remove these processes which in fact you can't because some of them are windows processes.What i was tryin to say is that if you go to that site i posted, http://hjt.iamnotageek.com/ it analyzes and parses your hijack this logfile....
It explains what could be a possible threat,what's safe and what's unknown.
Don't tell me you guyz actually re-format????There's always a solution........Maybe im just lucky out of a 3 year span,i reformated once,reason,i had way to much crap on my HD,needed a fresh re-install.
Personally,my best friend always re-format's his pc when something goes wrong,he never takes the time or paitence to actually figure out what's wrong.I actually find it redundant that he actually downloads whatever or put's any games or apps on his pc when he just re-format's his pc in a month or so,sound pointless right?
And what i find ironic is that he also use's a ripped OS of windows 2000...hehe...i can definitly recall witnessing his pc reboot by itself after it's been idle for a couple of minutes.This is a guy who doesn't even use any anti-virus programs or even a firewall.....to funny....
You guyz definitly have to post ur Hijackthis logfile,im curious to see how many processes you are runnin,the most processes i run are about 16/17,my pc runs alot faster since i disabled alot of the useless windows processes and my connection seems to be alot faster too...check it out,it may work for ya......

I've decided to surrender and reformat my computer Saturday. Thank you all for the help, especially FallowEarth, it's been an honor. I will continue to post here. I love this place.
i agree this site is great......but,im sorry to hear that you had to reformat you're pc.
In the future,if you're not sure what processes are what and ya need to check out if ya have trojans/spyware/ad-ware,this site here
http://hjt.iamnotageek.com/ will definitly help you out.it checks out you're Hijackthis logfile and tells ya what's safe and what's not...etc......
It definitly helped me out......

Whenever I connect to the Internet.. after some minutes(1-10mins), my computer will just
suddenly restart/reboot. I dont know why. Im getting irritated already. I tried not
connecting to the net, after about an hour, it didn't restart. So, I assumed that the
"restart" thing problem occurs when I am connected to the internet. What do you think
causes the problem?
Interesting.......i had the same thing happen to me before.When you're done scanning for virus's and malware...etc....and
