Download Killbox

Open Killbox.exe

Check the following boxes:
  • Delete on Reboot
Highlight all the entries in the quote box below and the Copy them.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\KDALD.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\System32\KDCVH.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\System32\KDLXE.EXE


Then in Killbox, click File>>Paste from Clipboard

At this point the "All Files" button should be enabled so you can click it.

Click the "All Files" button.

Then click the Red X …and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes.

A second message will ask to Reboot now? You will need to click No to deny the reboot.

Note: Killbox will let you know if a file does not exist.

Yes it did :)

Configure Windows Xp to hide system files:
  • 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 Do not show hidden files and folders.
  • Check the Hide protected operating system files option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.
_______________________
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.

    This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your pc's security.

Firewall Application - Although Windows Xp comes with a firewall, you should not rely on it because the Windows Firewall can only filter incoming data; outgoing traffic is not controlled, meaning that malware/viruses that are present in your computer can access the internet with no restrictions. There are several other Firewall that can protect you better by filtering incoming and outgoing data. Make sure you get only one of these.
