Hi! Welcome to CTH

If this just happened you may have a virus (worm). Do you use Kaaza by chance?

Go Here and download and run the file Kill_EZ and it will tell you if you are infected and will remove it. Let us know.

Thanks for your reply. I did have Kazaa but do not any longer. I have downloaded, so hopefully everything will be ok now.

Hi pit - you may have downloaded other nasties as well from KaZaA. Why dont you post your startups and we will have a look at them for you.

Go here and download and run Startup List. It will generate a log file. Copy the log and paste it back into this thread

Hi pit - yep, you have a nastie called new.net and a whole bunch of ActiveX Controls in your downloaded program files that could cause problems too.

Download Spybot - Search & Destroy from here

After installing, go to the Online tab, and search for and install all updates.

Next, go to the Settings tab > File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks'. These settings are not needed at the moment and you can always consult the "Help" files if you want to experiment later on.

Finally, after closing down Internet Explorer, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds.

NOTE: SSD will sometimes not be able to remove all active components in the first 'run'. In that case you will get a dialog asking you to run SSD at next start. Click yes and reboot.
Subsequently SSD will activate before the system puts these components 'in use', and it will then be able to 'fix' the rest.

When you have done this, Open your browser and go to Tools > Internet Options and click on the General Tab. Click on Settings (next to Temporary Internet Files) and then click on View Objects. Rightclick on each and choose Properties. If there is anything there that you dont know what it is (microsoft, apple, macromedia etc are OK) or where it came from,delete it. If there are any damaged controls there, delete those also.

Let us know how you get on.

There seems to be a dubious file running as well.

C:\WINDOWS\RunDLL.exe

the real one does not have capital "DLL" in it, it's just Rundll.exe

This may be a virus, but more likely a Trojan.

Good point Spider. Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\WINDOWS\ and look for RunDLL.exe. When you find it, rightclick on it and select Properties. If it is not a microsoft file, run the online antivirus scanner here first pit. It should detect a trojan.

Have done everything asked. Spybot picked up a lot ~ cleaned and rebooted ~ scanned again' then used online virus scan as asked. The only virus I can't get at is PE CIH.1003. Is that a big problem and would it have caused the problem I had?
Thanks again for your help ~ both of you

regards Pit

Trend reports on what that virus does.

Symantec (Norton) has a fix program to download and kill the virus.

You can kill it and then reboot. I don't really have a lot of faith
in the killer programs. They more attempt to recover your system
but many times there are "scars" left by the virus that can't be fixed
unless you format and reinstall WindowsXX.

Try the killer and see what happens from there.
