Hi,

I'm using another computer because the one that needs help has no internet connection due to some problem? I have suspicions (rsvp32_2.dll being the main one) however I'll leave it to your judgement as you guys certainly know what you're doing smile.gif

Anyways, here is the log (Many Thanks, A Cimino):

Hello and Welcome to the forum.

download LSP fix and put the file on a floppy or cd.

Download LSPfix here: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Start the program and then check the I know what I'm doing box.

Move all instances of 'rsvp32_2.dll' (and nothing else), to the Remove pane.
Click the Finish Button and reboot.

Find and delete the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\mszsrn32.dll


1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

Go to the top of the page

Were you able to connect to the internet?

Launch Notepad (Start>All Programs>Accessories), and copy/paste all the Quoted REGEDIT below to it. Don't forget to include REGEDIT4.
Save in: Desktop
File Name: fixme.reg
Save as Type: All files
Click: Save

QUOTE
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\mszsrn32]


On the desktop, doubleclick fix.reg and allow it to run. Let it merge.


Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: mszsrn32 - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mszsrn32.dll (file missing)

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Delete this File if listed:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mszsrn32.dll

Empty Recycle Bin

Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Hi,

I do have an internet connection now, many thanks! I did follow your last post as well, and my computer seems to be running well. It sure is "thinking" alot though. I'm not sure if that's a problem or acceptable. Regardless, the .dll file that has been giving me problems has been deleted. Here is my latest log:

You can remove any programs I had you install. Use Add/Remove Programs to remove if listed there:

Log looks good biggrin.gif


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.



If you dont have any programs like these, I would recommend that you get them.
Spywareblaster,
Spywareguard.


Also get a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Do not use Ad-aware if you have McAfee's VirusScan and AntiSpyware


Safe Surfing. biggrin.gif

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
