Ntapi32d.exe? Trojan Virus

About DSO Exploit…

I found this:

First, let's be clear. The vulnerability in Internet Explorer has been corrected. If you've patched IE and are staying up to date with current patches from Microsoft, you're safe, even if a DSO exploit is reported.

And this:

If all your critical updates are installed you are protected against DSO Exploit and the finding in Spybot is just a nuisance. Eliminate this by doing the following:

1 Open Spybot and select 'advanced' mode.
2 Select 'settings' in the left column.
3 Select 'ignore product' in the left column.
4 Select 'security' tab.
5 Place check mark in box beside DSO Exploit.
6 Close program
7 Open Spybot and run a scan.

From your log:

MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)

Your IE is fully "updated".

Platform: Windows 98 SE (Win9x 4.10.2222A)

Not sure about that. Have you been here, and checked to be sure you have all the Windows updates?

The searchforit is gone from the computer as spybot did the job this time! The DSO exploit is not a worry as I do have all the updates, and well to be honest its been there for quite some time now. There is nothing in the registry for me to delete under what it asks for, thus I suggest it is a dead link spybot can't comprehend. At least not yet. Thank you so very much Micah_6:8 for all your help. Sincerely, ACimino PS: Just read your last post as it came as I am writing you this. Much appreciated, I will try those suggestions. Thanks

You're most welcome.

I'm glad we could be of assitance!

GOD bless!!!

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

Download IE-Spyad here:

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
