When you last had a problem with your computer, did you format it? Do you have zone alarm/norton installed? If you answer yes to both, then its very likely that your hard drives boot sector is infected. If so, a normal virus scan, even if updated, will not pick it up, and no amount of formatting will remove it. But first, if you cant extract the dll file from your windows cd, just run a search on google and download it. Then copy it into your system32 folder. See if that fixes it. And DO use zonealarm. Let me know if copying a downloaded dll file fixes your problem. | ||

Veg, i think youre poker habits have probably resulted in this spyware, considering that revolves around gambling and online java based applets. You are just a target for spyware/viruses. Im gonna take a guess that you dont just stick to one trusted poker site, but have probably played on oh, 10-15 in the last couple of months? Then theres your music, however youre getting that. Considering your inability to keep yourself naturally safe from web inflicted spyware, im gonna guess you probably dont keep yourself safe from p2p based spyware. I wouldnt buy a cd rom just to back up a bunch of crap besides the mp3's maybe, otherwise just take a loss and format it all. Everyone should always have a backup of their os for these purposes, what are you gonna do? I rarely recommend a format to anyone, as it is usually every newbs first line of advice, but in this situation with your repeated infections, and especially this very recent one, you probably could go for an ole fashion wipeout. Good luck, and wherever you get an OS from, make sure to back that up first! | ||

Create a backup partition. Put all needed files on backup partition. format & reinstal the window partiton. merge the two partitions. All you need is some comp skills(you could probably do it with detailed instruction), a window 2000&key from bittorrent(easy) and partition magic(easy). Edit: You don't have a burner :/ ask a friend with cable and burner. Edit2: Burner is needed to create the 2k cd, if you can get it from someone you won't need burner. | ||

I get call's from people all day with OS issues, and 90% of those people have ME. Stick with Window's 2000 Professional if you can afford the upgrade, it's your best bet. indeed, win ME sux, the most secure windows is 2000 Server, but its too uncompatible so your best choice is 2000 pro | ||

If he fdisks his harddrive it is like a brand new one, it removes boot viruses, my uncle who is the biggest computer guru in the world told me this and i have done it a few times before i reformat so i would definitely believe him but i have no real proof. | ||

Bring your computer to San Fran. At that point I will take a look at it and fix it. If I cant, I will throw it into the ocean, which will force you to win WCG in order be sponsered by Samsung and recieve massive amounts of free computer gear. Your welcome. | ||

I dunno about everyone else but I just format my computer when there is too much junk slowing everything down. Win wcg in korea or something and buy yourself a new computer. EDIT: WTF? it cured itself? | ||

Then Backup all your data, whatever crap you have on you b0x0r. Format you drive, and reinstall ME. Clean out all the ME junk (there are guide online), you'd get a fair amount of HDD space out of it, then reinstall all your programs (Virus Scan first, then Firewall). Just my 2 cents. Cured itself? Maybe Windows ME has a "immunity" tool... | ||
