Hi

Please copy and paste the text in the code box into Notepad (Go to Start > Run, type Notepad and hit Enter)

@echo off

ren "C:\WINDOWS\system32\urlmon.dll" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\urlmon.old"
copy /y  "C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB942615-IE7\SP2QFE\urlmon.dll" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\urlmon.dll"
exit

Go to File > Save As:. Save the file as "FixFile.bat" (Including the quotes)

Double-click on FixFile.bat to run the file.

Reboot your computer.

Let me know whether that worked, and what problems remain.

Simon, no change, ran fixfile, rebooted and still no internet.????

Hi

Please try reinstalling Internet Explorer (link: http://www.microsoft...e/default.mspx).

I did that earlier, install an additional time? Second time? OK, I am on it

Yeah, when that's done run FindFile.bat a second time and post the resultant log.

STOP STOP STOP IE launched! What next? Kaspersky? Java?

STOP STOP STOP IE launched! What next? Kaspersky? Java?

Glad to hear that First update Java, then run the Kaspersky Online Scan.

[patnhank]

Will take a bit to download and install. Are we getting near the end? What is your opinion on all the instability I had in December; multiple crashes, difficulty booting up on start up, Blue screen of Death, was a bit better after warming up if that matters. Overall it was driving us crazy, shutting down at the most inopportune times. Like I said I have a new hardware MB BioStar K8M800 Micro AM2R AMD/A64 X2 4000+ 2.1 G AM2 IGB new DII8000 RAM I guess I should install once the software virus issue resolved?

[patnhank]

Arrgghhh Crashed 30 seconds into the scan, installed without Kaspersky easily but then the crash will try again. Hope it was hardware related.

[Simon V.]

Hope it was hardware related.

I don't, software issues are resolved more easily

I have no idea about the instability you experienced previously. That could've been anything, and since I don't know the hardware and software situation at that moment, I can't say what happened.

You should wait with the hardware upgrades until after we're done. We're nearing the end, if the Kaspersky scan comes up clean, you should be good to go.

Yes, you have been most helpful and we won't go down that road... the hardware is sitting in a box and too many days have passed to return it. It will be a minor upgrade and I will WAIT a week or so to see if the software/virus issues are resolved before I install the hardware.

At the end of the section/post regarding the Kaspersky you wanted copies of Combofix, Kaspersky online scan and a new HiJack this log. Do you still need all three or just the Kaspersky?

THanks

[Simon V.]

I already have the Combofix log, so you should only post the Kaspersky log and a new HijackThis log.

[patnhank]

Simon V, OK, two logs. Now Kaspersky is about 7 % complete at 24 minutes, it may speed up once it finishes laboring throught the C drive. SO far 6 viruses and 24 infeted objects. I suspect you will be fast asleep before this is complete. I will post when it is done, thanks for all your help today. Bon soir Hank

[patnhank]

Simon, the system is will not load windows....it starts to launch and then reboots from the bios. A blue screen appears telling me to check hardware, memory, the usual stuff I have had for the last 30 days. Hopeless.....ugh
