This problem is on my parents Dell PC....Windows XP home edition...running service pack 2 i believe. It all started earlier today when my little bro contacted me by phone...saying the desktop of the computer was completely filled with a message warning him that his computer may be infected with a virus....also with a black background...containing links to purchase antivirus software...sound familiar to anyone? (i believe i have had this very same experience on my own pc...which caused me problems..luckily i was able to fix)

So it sounded like a spyware or virus problem to me. i told him to shut off the computer, and when i got home id try to run antivirus on it and hopefully find the problem. So i get home...start up the computer...and it will not fully boot . A message window pops up with the warning..

"Explorer.EXE - Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\WININET.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette"

From what i understand, without the explorer process running your basically stuck. Am i right?

Im not a stranger to computers...but now im at a loss. :tazz:

EDIT::::::::

Well ok...ive gotten a bit further into this process....I can now view everything just fine on the Dell pc...what was happning was something caused the WININET.dll file to be deleted of all its contents. So...(since my computer also is XP with service pack 2) i copied the WININET.dll file from my computer, and pasted it over the same file on the Dell computer. (i dont know if it was the same version or not..since the one on the dell was erased of all its contents)....but hey..at least now i can see the desktop and view all of the program windows. Im currently doing a virus scan using Kapersky anitvirus.

Was it a mistake to replace the WININET.dll file with my own? is there anything else i should look for??

Welcome back!

I'm glad you aren't back with more Hidrag problems! :tazz: I helped you before - I'm formerly known as bananafanafo ;)

Please post a HijackThis log for me from the infected machine so I can see what's going on with it. It was not a bad idea to copy the wininet.dll from your system to theirs, that was actually a very good idea :)

Hey its my favorite GeekstoGo expert!! Hello again michelle!

Nope..no more hidrag problems for me..my system has been great since....but by now you probably think im virus prone b/c of all the bad stuff i been getting lately. I really dunno how this one got on my parents pc..guess it just came in while surfing the web..thing is..that pc is hardly used on the internet...guess it dont take much! It has Norton installed on it...but either it is expired..or didnt do its job. (yes i know i shouldnt have BOTH kaspersky and Norton..but i thought maybe Kaspersky could clean it up..and then id just take it off or something)

here is the Hijack this log....i didnt get to complete the full Kapersky Scan (most of it..including the WINDOWS folder was scanned), even though it did find a few objects that i deleted....the objects it found and deleted where named Trojan.Java.Femad.

Download smitRem.exe and save the file to your desktop.
Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop.

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Please read Ewido Setup Instructions
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
Ad-Aware SE Setup
Don't run it yet!

Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Now scan with HiJackthis and place a checkmark next to each of the following items, then click FIX CHECKED:

Close HiJackThis.

Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt on your Local Disk C: drive. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.


Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.


Run Ewido:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.
  • You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
  • If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
  • DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
  • If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
  • When the scan is finished, click the Save report button at the bottom of the screen.
  • Save the report to your desktop
Close Ewido

Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.

Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut, then do a full system scan. Make sure the autoclean box is checked!
Save the scan log and post it along with a new HijackThis Log, the contents of the smitfiles.txt log and the Ewido Log by using Add Reply.
Let us know if any problems persist.

It looks much better, that's for sure :tazz:

Since you didn't run ActiveScan, please download and run this program:

Please download WebRoot SpySweeper from HERE (It's a 2 week trial):
  • Click the Free Trial link on the right - next to "SpySweeper for Home Computers" to download the program.
  • Install it.
  • Once the program is installed, it will open.
  • It will prompt you to update to the latest definitions, click Yes.
  • Once the definitions are installed, click Sweep Now on the left side.
  • Click the Start button.
  • When it's done scanning, click the Next button.
  • Make sure everything has a check next to it, then click the Next button.
  • It will remove all of the items found.
  • Click Session Log in the upper right corner, copy everything in that window.
  • Click the Summary tab and click Finish.
  • Paste the contents of the session log you copied into your next reply.

Run HiJackThis. Place a check next to this item and click FIX CHECKED:

O2 - BHO: VideoCCodec module - {58DBCE03-FFC3-4452-AB1D-C19EE9825A50} - C:\WINDOWS\videoc.dll (file missing)

Close HiJackThis.

And that's it!

Congratulations your log is clean! Great job on the clean up :tazz:

I recommend checking the http://www.microsoft.com website periodically for critical updates to install.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

Detect and Remove Programs:
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
Prevention Programs:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
Other necessary Programs:
  • 0
