Help - trying to remove BraveSentry etc

[StckFigure]

Here are the registry exports (I think I did the right thing).

GMER log. Just as I thought I was getting a handle on what all these logs meant, this one's complete gibberish to me

See why I called on SPD?

Download RegASSASSIN

Unzip the file, and run RegASSASSIN.exe. Next, copy & paste the registry key to be deleted, from the attached RegKeys.txt, one at a time. Make sure Reset permissions and Delete registry key and all subkeys options are selected. Click the Delete button.

Reboot, check the registry to make sure the keys deleted, if not run Reg ASSASSSIN in Safe Mode. Copy & Paste each key directly from REGEDIT into RegASSASSIN. Make sure Reset permissions and Delete registry key and all subkeys options are selected. Click the Delete button.

Reboot, check the registry to make sure the keys deleted.

Post fresh HijackThis and ISeeYouXP ;ogs.

RegASSASSIN gives me the following message for each key: "The registry key you have specified does not exist or is not visible to RegASSASSIN. This may be caused by a set permission that does not allow RegASSASSIN to see it, would you like to continue." I click Yes and get a confirmation box reminding me of the danger of messing with the registry, and then a window saying that the key was deleted successfully. Strangely, after running this, to reboot, I could not do a Ctrl-Alt-Del... or Start > Shut Down > Restart. I had to do a hard reboot. After that, finding the keys still active, I rebooted into Safe Mode and it worked the normal ctrl-alt-del way. This seems to have worked!!!!!!!

Logs coming soon.

[StckFigure]

Logs... with fingers crossed tightly.

[jholland1964]

As I said before, am not familiar with reading these types of logs, but I will say, this one looks a whole lot better...with my fingers crossed. SPD should be around hopefully soon to take a look.

[ShadowPuterDude]

Success, your logs are malware free.

I'll turn you back over to Judy for post-removal cleanup and anything else that you need assistance.

Happy days are here again

Happy days are here again
to ShadowPuterDude!!! You Rock!

Ok, Stck...let's start some clean up, but since we have gone so long you need to refresh my memory;
Is your Norton Anti-virus current or has it expired?
If it has expired you are going to need a new, up to date anti-virus program. I suggest you pick one of the free ones listed in PP's PROTECT YOURSELF FROM MALWARE: Tools & Tips
He has all ready told you to install Zone Alarm and the link for that is in there also.
Are you using AOL as your internet provider?
Can you give me a NEW HJT Uninstall list so I know what we need to get rid of that you don't know or use anymore.
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:

1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.

click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad into a reply here.

When you give me the list why don't you either list those unknown to you programs or don't need any more programs in red.

Wow!!! Joyous!!! SPD and Judy both... I can't begin to thank you for all your unbelievable help... I wish there was some way I could send you a token of gratitude... you're all truly incredible. And it looks like we might even come in under that record length forum, which.. IF I remember right.. was in the 340s..

Norton's expired, and I deleted the McAfee that I was running in its place, so I need to get rid of Norton.... there is both Norton Utilities with antivirus (SystemWorks or something like that?) and, separately, Norton Internet Security. I am not using AOL as my ISP anymore, but it is installed.

If I don't know it, or only think I do, it's in red. If I want to get rid of it, but know what it is, it's blue. I also of course don't know what all the various Microsoft and Windows and IE update things do, specifically.
