Problem accessing web sites with XP

I run Spybot S&D and Adaware all of the time and have never found anything, but Dan said that Hijack This will sometimes pick up something that they miss, so I'm posting my log.
I have XP Home Edition and a dial-up modem.
After computer has been on for quite a while, I can connect with my ISP, but I can't access web sites. I get a "network problem" message. If I reboot, the problem is solved, temporarily. I leave the computer on all day and turn it off at night. I always have to reboot at least once a day, sometimes more often to correct this. Don't have this problem with my Win98 computer, so it appears to be an XP "thing".

Hi Hucklebey,

Nothing that would cure that problem I think.
Before you fix anything unzip HijackThis to a separate folder please. It can not make backups in the Temp folder you are running it from now.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {BDF3E430-B101-42AD-A544-FADC6B084872} - (no file)

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {42CDD1BF-3FFB-4238-8AD1-7859DF00B1D6} - (no file)

Then reboot.

Regards,

Pieter

Unzipped hijackthis and installed it in its own folder. I knew I was supposed to do that, but when I double-clicked it nothing happened. Usually, when I double-click a downloaded zip file, it automatically unzips. This didn't, so I wasn't sure what to do. I did finally figure it out.

I removed the two items you suggested.

Should I repost a new hijackthis log?

I noticed that several "Trusted Zone" items showed up on my hijackthis log, and I've never seen that in other logs. Is that normal?

I had no idea what BHO was, so that sent me off on a whole new learning experience. So much to learn, so little time.

Speaking of time, how do all of you find the time to do all that you do?

 

Hi Hucklebey,

The sites in your trusted zone are trustworthy. Several would show up in my log too.
The reason you see them very little in other logs is a sad one. The default security settings for the internet zone are low enough, for the sites to work properly.
You probably raised your security settings and had to add a few sites to the trusted zone (highly recommended).

I don't need to see a new log, unless you encountered some surprise, when you ran HijackThis again.

Regards,

Pieter

PS If you know of a place where I can find more time, let me know.
