Click HERE to download DllCompare. Start the Program with and click the Run Locate.com - be sure the \Windows\System32 directory is in the box and wait until the the blue text says it has 'completed the scan'.

Click the Compare button to start the next process. The results appear in two panes - files in the upper pane have been verified to 'exist', files in the lower pane were 'not able to be accessed'. Very few files should be listed in the lower pane when the Compare scan is complete. Click on each of the listed entries in the lower pane to select them. Right-click on the file and use the option Rescan. This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then if so it will be removed from the list to reduce the number of identified files.

Click the Make a Log of what was found button and post the log here in this thread and wait for further instructions.

Nothing there. Run that registry fix I posted and see if those entries are there.

I found 4 of the 6 entries, but havn't deleted them yet: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\msdirectx HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\Dhcp HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_DHCP HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp

Right click on each of them ( msdirectx and all the Dhcp) and use Export each to the desktop.

Now delete all 4 ( msdirectx and all the Dhcp).

Exit the registry.

Open C:\windows\System32\msdirectx <–Delete this file if listed.
Note: If you can't delete it use Killbox.


Download Pocket Killbox version 2.0.0.175
http://www.atribune.org/downloads/KillBox.exe
If you already have Killbox first ensure it is this version !.

Then double-click on the killbox.exe program.


Start Killbox and click on Tools->Delete Temp Files.
Then select the option labeled Delete on reboot.

Do not close killbox, and open notepad, by clicking on Start, then Run, and typing notepad.exe and pressing the OK button.


When notepad is open, copy and paste the following bolded text into the notepad screen. You do this by highlighting each of the below bolded filenames and then pressing Control-C on your keyboard. Then click on the open notepad windows and press Control-V to paste the contents into the notepad.



C:\windows\System32\msdirectx


Return to Killbox, go to the File menu and select Paste from Clipboard.


Still in Killbox, click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click No at the Pending Operations prompt.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually

This one would not delete: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_DHCP It gave an error message saying "Cannot delete LEGACY_DHCP: error while deleting key" Do I delete the exported files from the desktop too? I looked for this –> C:\windows\System32\msdirectx , but there was only a file called "DirectX" in System32.

Well things appeared to be running well. Media Player is working without freezing, I can disconnect/reconnect without a problem, it's shutting down normally. Although, Add/Remove programs doesn't open. But once again a virus is picked up PC-cillin detected this again: C:\WINDOWS\System32\msdirectx.sys TROJ_ROOTKIT.H Can't be cleaned, was quarantined.

Lets try this tool. rookit infections are very bad. they try to steal passwords, account numbers, etc.
