Re: Outlook Express, IE not working, Cannot access Internet Options

[We do not interpret HijackThis logs in public newsgroups.]

You've got a particularly nasty new Zlob/Vundo/SDBot variant infection that
keeps mutating every hour. You'll need assistance from an experienced
handler to get the machine cleaned up. (Or you can format & reinstall
Windows; a Repair Install will NOT help!)

=> Do NOT attempt to clean this up by yourself. Do NOT run ANY anti-spyware
or cleaning utilities without being directed to do so by your handler!
Doing so will only make it more difficult to get the machine cleaned up.

When all else fails, HijackThis is the preferred tool to use. It will help
you and your handler to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
