Comment:

this is what happened. i first got a virus that caused the remote procedure call to restart my computer.

then after a while i cant connect to the internet although my other computer on the network is able to.

so i try to fix this, but when i try to run my norton antivirus, it closes after about 10 seconds. this happens with Trojan Defence Suite too. and when i run msconfig, it closes by itself also.

i've also ran adaware, spybot, and spysweeper.

i need a way to get rid of this virus but i dont know how since i cant scan for it anymore with norton, and obviously i cant use any online virus scans.

i can run a norton scan in safe mode but my virus definitioms havent been updated yet since i installed norton.

could anyone do something with this hijackthis log??

I too, am experiencing the same symptoms, on two different computers in two different locations. I see you mentioned gaobot.gen, but what procedure did you use to get rid of it.?

Frustrated,
Angelo

FYI - You're using an out of date version of hijackthis. You should update it before you try to "fix" anything with it. The current version is 1.97.7. Open hijackthis, click on "config", "misc tools", "check for update online".
