Hi, I've been recieving certain errors lately that seem to corespond with a virus in other forums, so i thought i should post a log and see how things are going with my computer. Thank you to whoever looks at this… i respect greatly the ability to be able to look at what looks to me like giberish and derive answers about computers from it. thanks again:

hi, upon following your steps with Pocket Killbox and pressing Reboot I recieved the error message "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process!" The computer did not reboot. Should I reboot it myself now or leave it? What exactly does this error mean? did the process fail? Thank you for your help.

Sometimes you have to reboot on your own.

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing :
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View tab.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
  • Uncheck the Hide file extensions for known types option.
  • Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.
Once your system is clean, we suggest that you reverse this to keep critical windows files from accidently being deleted.



Look for this file and see if its still present, if it is, you will have to boot to safemode to delete it.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscoriezz.dll

To Enter Safemode
  • Go to Start> Shut off your Computer> Restart
  • As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly,
    this will bring up a menu.
  • Use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to scroll up to Safemode
  • Then press the Enter Key on your Keyboard
Tutorial if you need it How to boot into Safemode


Post back with a new HJT log please.

I just recieved a Data Execution Prevention error shutting down WinAmp. The reason I came to this forum was because I was recieving a DEP error shutting down windows Explorer every now and then. Is this nothing to worry about? Did the problem I had have nothing to do with this? If this has nothing to do with a virus, is it safe to turn DEP off for certain programs? Thanks again for helping me out.
