Hello again

One of the difficulties in removing malware is that malware writers like to name their bad files the same as or similar to legitimate files. Very often the only difference is the path to the file that determines whether it is good or bad.

I like using ComboFix because it dates the arrival time of all files, so if you see two bad files in a bunch of 6 files, all arriving in the same few seconds, the chances are that they are all bad. Sometimes that might not be true but I already spend 5 hours a day researching members' logs as a volunteer, I do have to impose time restrictions on myself otherwise I wouldn't have any sort of a life.

Of all the files that we deleted, they will be backed up at C:\!Killbox\ so putting them back onto the system is not a problem. You could try them all one by one if you wish, but I would take a gamble and go for sporder.dll and setup90.exe.

Hows it going?

So you recommend trying out sporder.dll and setup90.exe? Any idea which folder to put them back in? Thanks.

These were the original paths:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\sporder.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Setup90.exe

Hey there.

I tried both of your suggestions, but to no avail nothing happened. Same results. Nothing at all. I posted a thread on windows xp hoping that somebody would help me. Its really weird how i can play mp3 media but cant play system files which are wav files. The preview button for those files in the control panel were blacked out.

Thanks again for your replies. I hope this problem would be solved on my other thread. Cheers.

I would check that your WAV files are associated with a media player.

actually i did that first when i noticed that the files wont play. sad, it yielded the same result.

anyway i have opened another thread regarding this, and i hope it would be resolved by then. thanks for your help with the trojans and everything again.

I can only suggest that if you have PCI audio card, to re-install the drivers from the set up disk. If it is on-board integrated sound, then use the disk for your motherboard set up.
