I have been plagued with remote attacks since I bought this newly built computer from the store. Formatting; including low level reformat, resetting cmos jumper, and removing all components has been done by 6 different people but to no avail. It seems like I am being compromised when I do my windows update; sometimes right away and other times I haven't noticed the problems for a week. I do not use Internet Explorer. I install anti-virus programs prior to accessing the internet for updates. I have tried every anti-virus, spyware, firewall, registry check and they are great for a few days (if even)
and then they become disable. Oh and just to show you how desperate I am for help, I purchased most of that software! LOL Install logs look like I am installing fake updates so perhaps a browser hijack?
A couple of the problems I experience: Loss of Local Admin priviledges and eventually a complete D.O.S. (by NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService?)
.
Registry continues to change with added users and SID's.
My C: drive shows up as a file folder and no longer a system one.
Despite disabling remote/terminal apps from services.msc my registry
and logs become filled apps that appear to be remote access apps.
3 times now I have lost access to my CD-rom and DVD drives. I have CD-Rom this time but DVD and Floppy won't work.
Packet sending logs with reference to streaming.
Although my RUN ----> services.msc show apps as disabled, a ms-dos prompt shows them running with demand starts.
It's like I don't have access to my real C: drive if that makes any sense. I can't explain it any other way than to say that I feel like I only have access to and see a fake drive.
This is the same with anti-virus programs. They look llike they are doing their job but it appears they have been come compromised. Most of the time I am unable to access online scanners.
Weird things like this showed up today. Maybe it's normal?

I installed Nortons 2005 and it worked long enough for it to detect
Spyware.WinKeyG
Hacktool.XScan
Bloodhound.Exploit.6 (Norton's stopped working shortly after this)
Firefox had a virus detected so I'm using Netscape for the immediate time. I dont' know if this is normal but my Netscape opened up to this url:

Thank you,

I gave this a difficult rating because I have taken this computer to different computer stores and they have not discovered the problem.
Answer : Continual Trojans, Denial of Service, Unauthorized Access on standalone XP Home SP2.
You have service pack two... is this XP home... no it can't be, no firewall on xp home....
to reset your firewall to the default, which is to block all incomming type the following in a command window (goto start>run>cmd.exe pressenter)
netsh firewall reset
Ok. <--- this should be the response
Now type:
netsh firewall show portopening
There should be a blank line. Go to grc.com and run the shields up test. You may do this prior to see if there is any difference.

This site makes me document too much stuff.... now I'm adding a netsh page....
Just an FYI (you need no open port's like this if your not running a web-server or some other listening server... do not use the "set" command if you do not need any open ports)
C:\>netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 80 name = web-server ENABLE scope = ALL profile = ALL
Ok.
C:\>netsh firewall show portopening
