Post #1
Everytime I try to open a video online that uses Windows Media Player, I get an error window. For instance, when I want to watch a video on Yahoo Music, the player opens up and then an error report pops up that says Internet Explorer has an error and must shut down. The App name is iexplore.exe and the Mod name is wininet.dll. A file is sent with the report C:|DOCUME~1\Me\LOCALS~\Temp\4f14_appcompat.txt. I was advised by someone in the dell forums to get a hijackthis log file and post it here. Following is the log file. I appreciate your assistance:

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Run Hijack This!

Click the "Open the Misc Tools section" button.

Click the "Open process manager" button.

Check the "Show DLLs" box (upper right).

Click on each item in the upper window, then look in the lower window.

Check to see which processes are using C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\System.Management\faxmsvc.dll

Post back letting me know all processes using that DLL.

Copy the text in the following quote box into Notepad:

dir C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\System.Management\ /ah > files.txt
dir C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\System.Management\ >> files.txt
notepad files.txt


Save it to your desktop as ff.bat.

Close Notepad.

Now, the ff.bat file on the desktop.

Wait for a Notepad window to open up.

Please paste it's contents into your next post.

:)

I started the process, and then after I typed the second file to be fixed Hijack this did not open. A window popped up and said there was an error that occurred with an OK button. I hit OK and then the system shut down. It said that Hijack this was missing a file. Unfortunately I was unable to finish the process.

Post a new Hijack This! log file so I can see where we stand.
:)

This may be the problem:

C:\DOCUME~1\Me\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.

MOVE (drag-and-drop) HijackThis into this folder.

If required a tutorial is here = Hijackthis Folder Tutorial

I followed the steps and ran a new log file. I'm not sure how I would know if the two programs you listed are giving me trouble. They are in the log file so I guess they are. I apologize. I am really uneducated when it comes to computers. Here is the log file:

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://lookfor.cc/sp.php?pin=44768

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!

Reboot and post a new log file.

If you're not having any "problems", then I guess we'll leave those other entries alone.

Looks good!!! :thumbup:

M68 :)

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

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

Download/install IE-Spyad

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 at Qualsys.com

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.
