Solved: Incomplete DL of exe or zip files

[carlos.benjamin]

Stumbled onto you guys while trying to research this problem.

My system suddenly started running terribly - Slow, intermittent internet connection, and certain downloads look complete but unzipping a file results in unexpected end of file and trying to run an exe that was downloaded tells me that the file is corrupted. I was able though to download and run the Hijack This app you recommend.

I've run System mechanic and the system seems a bit faster but the other problems persist. I've also run CCleaner (but only the cleaner - no registry stuff).

I've gone into the NVidia drivers and disabled everything but the display drivers (via Add/Remove Software in Control Panel) after reading about similar problems in other threads on the site.

Here is my log dump and thanks in advance for any help:

Hello,

I would post that log in the malware section of these forums. There is some doubtful stuff in there. The real experts will take a look at it.
Meanwhile, I would clear out the internet cache (Delete Files in Internet Options) and check that the size allocated to Temporary Internet Files is large enough to hold the size of the file being downloaded.

 

[carlos.benjamin]

Thanks Claymore,

I guess I need an admin to move it since I don't want to double post.

I've also discovered that I can't watch videos - youtube, vimeo just sit there.

Downloaded some PDF files though and they were fine.

 

[carlos.benjamin]

Local videos play fine. It's just videos over the web that don't play. I can move the slider and see portions of the video but that's pretty unsatisfying.....

 

[carlos.benjamin]

I guess this post is just going to languish since it doesn't have zero replies. I'm not as happy about the "Gosh I don't know how to help you but will reply anyway" post now that it seems my issue won't see the light of day. I figured it would delay a response, but I guess I can kiss that goodbye....

 

[Claymore]

It's not that no one in this forum wants to help you, it's that only certified persons are permitted to assist with the removal of malware by the rules of the forum - for obvious reasons of making things worse. That's why I suggested you post your log over there. If your computer is suspected to contain malware - and yours does - anyone will tell you get that sorted first. Since your post hasn't been moved, I suggest you post a log - and an up-to-date one - in the Malware removal forum.

Good Luck!

 

[carlos.benjamin]

It's my understanding that

1. I should not cross post to the other forums
2. An administrator needs to move a post to a more appropriate forum
3. Posts with zero responses are looked at first

I'm just trying to comply with the rules. I admin elsewhere and see enough rule breaking behavior to know it's not appreciated. At this point all I know to do is wait for my (non-zero status) post to be noticed by someone who can place it appropriately. My disappointment is in the fact that it takes me several reboots to get access to the internet in the first place and I'm thinking the activity on this post will keep it from being seen by anyone who can actually do something with it.

Hi carlos.benjamin . If you mark this as solved in thread tools I don't think anyone would take issue with you creating a new thread in Malware . Would be a good idea to post a link to your new thread here too , for anyone who comes across this one later and has something to add or learn
