Not a Valid Windows Image
I was previously running Windows Messenger, which came with my computer, which has Windows XP. That version soon became outdated, so I downloaded the 6.1 version of MSN Messenger.
However, as the new version came up, and everytime I have opened it manually, the following window comes up MANY TIMES: MsnMsgr.Exe-Bad Image DLL: C:/WINDOWS/System32/MSIMG32.DLL is not a valid windows image. After clicking the window everytime it came up (literally dozens of times), I was able to use the new version. However, as I clicked on a contact name, the window came up again, this time with "a problem occured. MSN Messenger has to close." I think my computer is very infected with many viruses. I tried to unistall the previous Messenger, but I am unable to Add or Remove programs. The Display does not open either. Can someone please help? Any reply would be a great one. |

Rainbow32:
Yes, I ran the virus scan. The results were something to the tune of 40 suspicious files, but no infected ones. I think I am running a firewall, but I have never manually installed one. I will now install one from the McAfee Security company. AnneMarie: The new hijackthis log is above. I still cannot access several items in the "Control Panel," nor is my MSN Messenger working correctly. Thanks for your help, and please reply soon with additional information and instructions. |

Just a couple of entries left to fix. Close IE and all open windows and run Hijack This again. Check the below entries and click on Fix Checked. Reboot afterwards.

Upon completing the hijack this scan and fix, I was unable to open the Add/Remove Programs. I have always been able to access the "Control Panel" itself, and several items, but the "Add/Remove Programs," and "Display" alerted my newly installed McAfee Firewall. The following window opened as I attempted to choose each item:
McAfee Firewall Rule Violation Program Name: BackWeb-137903.exe Path: C:\Program Files\hp center\137903\Program\BackWeb-137903.exe Rule Violation: Outbound to UDP/IP Protocol on port 375 McAfee Firewall has detected that this application is trying to access a resource that is outside of its allowed bounaries. What would you like to do? -Fully allow -Keep learning -Do not allow This was also presented when I tried to open the "Display" feature. Each time I have selected Do not allow until I could consult help. Before the firewall was installed (appx hour ago), nothing happened when I tried to open "Add/Remove Programs" or "Display." The cursor would turn into its familiar "hourglass," and then back to the cursor. Nothing. |

Yes, I tried your suggestion of copy and pasting that line into the command box in Run. Nothing happened. Upon clicking OK, the box just went away.
The same thing happens when I manually click "Add/Remove Programs" and "Display." No error boxes come up. |

OK, try this, boot into Safe Mode (restart your PC and tap F8 as it restarts) and see if you can open Control Panel now.

I ran the system in Safe Mode, and to my dismay "Add/Remove Programs" had been deleted. The icon is no where to be found.
I tried the line you told me to type in the Run command box, but nothing happened. |

Run a search on your drive for appwiz.cpl. Did you find it and if so, where?

A search for: appwiz.cpl returned no results.
However a search for appwiz returned a file by this name: APPWIZ.CP_ Is this the same file? |
