HELP - no internet connection due to "aelupsvc32.dll"

[greenfish]

Hi greenfish,
She also told me that combofix.exe should be able to remove the visible components of this malware.
-- First, delete old combofix.exe already on your machine
-- You should download a fresh combofix.exe to your Desktop and leave it there.
-- Then, boot to SAFE MODE
-- Click Start > Run and enter the following exactly as it is here: "%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /wow
(if need be, you can save it locally to notepad and copy&paste it into the box)

Let the tool run and submit the combofix log along with a fresh HJT log.

It may be a good idea to rerun the above combofix.exe steps. In re-examining all of the various logs, I see an item I missed! It is a different piece of malware - probably from last summer.
I looks like Adware to deliver popups. I missed it because I thought it was a Chinese language plug in.

PP, thank you for your continuous efforts! However, I've re-installed the Windows XP yesterday, which took me really a long time, after performing the steps in the above that you told me last time but failed again. The new Combofix log and HJThis log don't look different from the previous ones and the internet connection didn't come back. Attached are the logs that I saved from the operation. FYI.

Meanwhile, I couldn't delect iExpl0re.dll and the other file that you mentioned before.

Anyway, thank you sooooooooo much for your help all these days! I really appreciate that! This forum is really a good place and the people here are so nice! Wish you all a Happy New Year!
