Hi, recently my anti-virus automatically scanned a virus and deleted it. 5 minutes after my computer deleted that virus, my computer froze. So I had to restart it.

When I got to the desktop after the restart, an error message popped up saying:

"C:\windows\system32\warihagi.dll
This specific module can not be found."

My computer then freezes for about a minute or two trying to load up.

Now that leads to my internet not working. I'm connected directly, but I am not receiving any signal. When I go to repair it, I get "Failed to Query TCP/IP settings of the connection." It is like the computer does not recognize the driver anymore.

I ran my anti virus numerous times and found nothing. I've reinstalled windows xp and still experiencing the same problem. I have no idea what to do. Any help?


Note* When I got to the task bar and look at the processes, there is a process called "IEXPLORE.EXE" that keeps replicating itself every 5 minutes or so. Also there are 3x explorer.exe. I was accustomed to seeing 1 prior to this problem. So I thought it was worth noting.

"IEXPLORE.EXE" that keeps replicating itself every 5 minutes or so

This is an indication of malware.

If IExplore keeps replicating itself after following all the advice in that guide, then post the logs asked for in the Malware forum.

Thanks for the reply.

I did visit the link and downloaded some of the programs. I tried Vundofix on my comp and for some reason, it works on my other computer (Clean), but not for my infected one. Very strange.

I also tried downloading SpyBot Search and Destroy and I get installed, but I can not open the program itself. However, I download Spy Doctor, but it requires a License Key to delete the infection.

Your computer is seriously infected. Don't play with any programs, you don't know (like SpyDoctor - rogue program).
Start new topic at Malware forum, and explain your problems.

Ok thanks Broni.
