Cant Open Programs After Privacy Protection Virus Removal on Wed Nov 09, 2011 1:11 am
Hey all, I've been having some pretty nasty computer issues lately and was recommended this forum by a blog. I got hit by the "privacy protection virus" last night and I finally got it out of my system by this morning. The problem now is that something in the registry must be off or missing, I can't open any browser except for opera. I tried reinstalling firefox and safari multiple times. What ends up happening is the hour glass flashes a few times as if it is going to load nothing happens even though it does show up in the "processes" section in task manager as running. This also happened for google chrome, picassa, spybot search and destroy and photscape. I removed the virus ultimately with super antispyware and mbam but I also ran sophos antirootkit, ccleaner for registry fixes and tdss killer. I really hope someone out there can help me. Thanks. Here is the hijackthis log in case there is anything obvious missing or wrong: Edit, the forum wont allow me to post the log because no "external links or emails" allowed so I'll wait on that
