Ever since I 'fast shut-down' my computer yesterday by holding down the power button, my Windows XP Pro has been acting very weird. So here's the problem. I cannot open programs/do tasks such as: - MS Paint - Command Prompt - WordPad - MS Magnifier - Add/Remove Programs - Security Center (from Control Panel) - Adjusting Date/Time on the PC - Right Clicking Desktop -> Properties They are mostly Microsoft programs that I'm having an issue with, but also, I can't open programs like: - iTunes - Most of my Game.exes - Limewire (rarely use it, so I don't know if it's a problem) What happens is the mouse flashes and nothing happens. I can get into many other programs just fine, like Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, My Computer, etc., but it's just the select few I can't. Methods I have tried: - Ad-Aware Full/Smart Scan (both) - AVG Anti-Spyware - Yahoo! Anti-Spy - System Restore Points (two of them) - Safe Mode (both with/without networking) The scans I ran showed my computer as clean. However... When I ran Spybot Search & Destroy, I got a ton of problems that popped up including Trojans. Whenever I try to click 'Fix Selected Problems', Spybot usually either 1) freezes, 2) say 'Memory is not enough'. So I don't know how to remove those Trojans because none of the other scanners detect them. :/ Could anyone help with me?? I'm trying to fix the programs so they work but I don't know if it has anything to do with the system or with the viruses. Any help is appreciated (sorry if I wrote too much.. trying to explain my problem as best I could in one post) ~Jeff [Edit] Well Spybot is detecting 121 entries of Virtumonde.dll Trojan and I can't remove it no matter what I try (because Spybot keeps freezing and not responding if I click Fix Selected Problems). Any help still? Thanks.
Hi JThunder, First repair your System Files. To repair your system you will need to run SFC /scannow For instructions go to: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43051.html or http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html Then post a HijackThis Log and maybe someone can help you with removing the Malware.
