Copy the text in the Code Box to a blank notepad page and Save it to your desktop as Rem.reg but dont run it yet!

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run]
"pifwav"=-

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\kgynmsqx]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{91a5d091-c4a6-418b-8063-cd9ecf6e8f7f}]

Restart in Safe Mode and Run all these entries through Killbox just as you did before!

Once all are deleted,locate and double click Rem.reg-> Allow it to merge into the registry!

Now we need to deal with this entry

C:\WINDOWS\System32\F?nts\dexplore.exe

Look and See how many folders you have that are named "Fonts"

If more than one,look inside each and find the one with "dexplore.exe"

Thats the one that needs to go!

If you want to be Safe,Move the folder you suspect is bad to the C drive and let it be for now!

Restart Normal,assure no errors were found at bootup and then have the PC Scanned here
http://support.f-sec.../home/ols.shtml

Save the Report and post it along with a fresh HijackThis log!

We have to find this folder!

C:\WINDOWS\System32\F?nts

Look and See how many folders you have that are named "Fonts"

How is the PC running now?

Copy everything inside the quote box below (starting with dir) and paste it into notepad. Go up to "File > Save As" and click the drop-down box to change the "Save As Type" to "All Files". Save it as findfile.bat on your Desktop.

dir C:\WINDOWS\system32\F?nts /a h > files.txt
notepad files.txt


Locate findfile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the contents of that Notepad back here!

OK,go into Safe Mode and be sure Windows is Showing Hidden Files
http://www.bleepingc...torial=62#winxp

Now look in the System32 folder for a folder labeled similar or just like

F?nts

Open the Search Assistant(Click Start>>Click Search)
Select All Files and Folders,
Select Advanced Options,
Make sure there is a check by every box under Advanced Options

Now under All Files and Folders,enter this into the text box:

F?nts

Delete any Exact Matches!

Install these 2 for some added security

Made Easy
http://www.mvps.org/...2002/hosts2.htm

Disable System Restore
http://service1.syma...src=sec_doc_nam

Post back and let me know if you found the folder and if the PC is still running OK!

I think its Safe for all Kids to enjoy the Home Computer now! :tazz:

Is Norton paid for and up to date?

Is there a firewall running on the PC other than Windows Firewall?
