uTorrent crashing/freezing/unabletoload. Help!

[HelpMeWithThis]

It was working fine this afternoon. Now I can barely get it to load, otherwise it crashes just after a few seconds.

Here's the log file from HijackThis. Hopefully it should help you to help me.

Old virus remnant

Looks like you might have other problems on your system to worry about before you can tackle things.

Most/all 8.3 names with random characters... in your system folders is a bad sign. You should run thorough scans from both default AV software as well as rootkit and spyware detection...

are places to start...

Do you know what that adiras is?

Good luck cleaning your system. If you want/require further assistance run our cleaner software, and provide new logs... also seeing specifically which DLLs are loaded into uTorrent.exe via a Process Explorer DLL list may help you work faster.. if you have turned on the dll path column. You can access it similar to in uT, right click the column header. Switch to DLL mode, click utorrent.exe, and save the log... As long as uT isn't just force quit/dying, you can get this log even if uT crashes only after 5 seconds.

I suggest reinstalling Windows. Better than cleaning it.

True, but in that case be sure you have at least SP2 media, or download the SP3 to something you can plugin to your computer to install from. You really shouldn't be installing while connected to the internet to be sure you don't get reinfected before patching whatever it was which possibly infected you in the first place.

This PRESUMES you didn't get stuck with one of the ones with self-replicating payload which spreads over network/admin shares.
