I've downloaded 4 different malware programs in the past 2 days and none of them will open or function after download. My internet is working fine, but my WLM keeps crashing.

Hi kidamnesiac84,

STEP 1 - RootRepeal

Download RootRepeal from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:
  • Double click Posted Image to start the program
  • Click on the Report tab at the bottom of the program window
  • Click the Posted Image button
  • In the Select Scan dialog, check:

    • Drivers
    • Files
    • Processes
    • SSDT
    • Stealth Objects
    • Hidden Services
    • Shadow SSDT

  • Click the OK button
  • In the next dialog, select all drives showing
  • Click OK to start the scan
    Note: The scan can take some time. DO NOT run any other programs while the scan is running

  • When the scan is complete, click the Posted Image button and save the report to your Desktop as RootRepeal.txt
  • Go to File, then Exit to close the program

If the report is not too long, post the contents of RootRepeal.txt in your next reply. If the report is very long, it will not be complete if you post it, so please attach it to your reply instead.

To attach a file, do the following:
  • Click Add Reply
  • Under the reply panel is the Attachments Panel
  • Browse for the attachment file you want to upload, then click the green Upload button
  • Once it has uploaded, click the Manage Current Attachments drop down box
  • Click on Posted Image to insert the attachment into your post

STEP 2 - Win32kDiag

Please download Win32kDiag from one of the links below and save it to your desktop:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
  • Double-click on Win32kDiag.exe to run the program - if you are running Windows Vista, right click and select "Run as Administrator"

  • A black command prompt window should open, and begin to scan. Keep in mind that this scan may take a while.
  • Once it has finished, you should see a message in the command prompt that says "Finished! Press any key to exit.." - press any key now.
  • A log file named Win32kdiag.txt will be created on your desktop. Please copy and paste this in your next reply

STEP 3 - Reply

Please reply with the following:

  • RootRepeal Log
  • Win32kDiag Log
