Hi

I've been helped by you guys before very successfully and I'm back. My work PC seems clean enough from all the preventative software you recommend but there's a couple of strange things occurring: It's and XP Pro PC which has an issue on shutdown such that it tries to reboot (I've now turned off autoreboot on blue screen) and also the dialogue box for display shows no tabs only the themes section. if i change the theme and apply i can just see the top edge of the tabs and i get an error message rundll32.exe not found appn failed as gdiplus.dll not found. i only think this is malware as i've read a bit about a gdiplus trojan. ewido didn't find it. whilst here and out of interest do you consider it worth paying the $20 for the full ewido suite, does it add much over the manually run system?

here's my hjt

thanks in advance for your help.

I assume you installed this software yourself?

I can't see any malware running.

Hi Pieter
Yes this software is ok. The pc isn't running badly apart from shutdown and the display dialogue box. I was concerned as I had smitfraud-c at home (which usetobe resolved) and this attacked the display dialogue taking out all the tabs. Since my original post I have reinstalled gdiplus.dll but the tabs issue remains. If I change the theme then I can just see the top edge of the tabs enough to navigate. Should I just put up with it as there are no malware issues?

Cheers

Simon

Doubleclick the file and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

Reboot and check under Properties of your desktop if the Browse button is usable again.

Hi Pieter

No change I'm afraid. I'm not sure those changes were made to the registry, although the file asked if they were to be added. I've looked in regedit and there's no sign of the information in your file.


In this section [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] I found the following line as dllname reg_expand_sz


%SystemRoot%\resources\Themes\luna\luna.msstyles.

Simon

luna.msstyles
That is the style that is commonly known as the `XP style` as opposed to the ´classic style´

The hex I posted gets translated to that entry, so it isn´t different from what you imported.

I assumeD you already tried this regfile:
http://metallica.gee...m/smitfraud.reg
If not, you should.

Hi Pieter

I hadn't run the smitfraud one; now I have there is no change. If you think it's nothing sinister don't worry about sorting it. When I shutdown I still get a blue screen (i've turned off auto reboot) and on reboot an error submission request.

Here's my latest hjt log for your lookover.

Thanks

Simon

We are trying all kinds of stuff for a similar problem with the tabs here:
http://www.geekstogo...t39509-s30.html

Can you try and upgrade to SP2 for XP and IE ?
That will replace a lot of system files and might solve the shutdown problem.
