I thought u had already downloaded so i deleted it., here it is again.

[MajDuty]

OK I got it. You want me to just paste that sucker on top of the one with the attitude problem?

[Excal]

I wish that would work, but I highly doubt it....lol. Its running so it won't allow you to.

Unzip wininet.zip to your desktop and run the .bat again so i can see the path please

So,...you think I should get XP?

I've gone this long - I may just wait for their next OS.

YES!! Open beta will be coming out next month (if it goes as planned) not the actualy launching, will still be a bit b4 they get the bugs out of it.

Well isn't that just perfect. ME says it's missing, but then you can't overwrite because it's running. Well which is it - running or missing?

So I got tired of pu$$y footing around, and wasting your time on this dinosaur of an OS, and tried reinstalling ME. It failed after 64%, so I researched the problem, and I think I've got it licked now. My mouse and printer didn't work, but I got those back on line too. Everything SEEMS to be working fine again.

Thank you for the help. You helped me get everything important running again so I could back up my important files, and got to the point I could do a reinstall without a format, which helped a ton. Thank you.

I'll keep the wininet.dll in a safe place just in case something comes up. We/you can probably go ahead and close this one now, but before you do, should I post one last HJT log?

[Excal]

Sure, let me take a look

Sorry things didn't work out too good

What do you mean? They worked out great as far as I'm concerned. I was dead in the water before coming here for advice. Thank you.

I'll post that HJT log this evening after work. If you see anything out of the ordinary, please let me know.

24+ hours and so far so good.....I think

Looks good! Make sure you update!

Great job, it appears your computer is clean

Ensure you rehide your “hidden files and folders” back to the way they were.

Now that your system is Malware Free, it is important to reset your system Restore. Click Here to learn how to.

I recommend that you Defrag your computer before setting your Restore points:

Go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Defragmentor Make sure it set to the proper drive (default should be your main driver) and click on defragment


Might I suggest the following Free Spyware programs, if you don't already have them, for added security, you can download them at the following links. These programs work great for detection:

Ad-aware SE
Spybot S&D
Microsoft Anti-Spyware


If you are unhappy with your current antivirus and want to replace it or if you dont already have one, I suggest one of these free programs:
*Note - do not use more than one anti-virus program as it will more than likely cause conflict.

AVG
Avast
AntiVir


The following free programs are great for prevention:

SpywareBlaster 3.4
Spywareguard
IE/Spyad

A Firewall is a must! Here are 3 good free versions:
(do not have more than one firewall running on your system)

Sygate
Kerio
ZoneLabs

There are other options other than Internet Explorer for a browser, which some say have better security. Two of them are:

Firefox
Opera

If you decide to keep Internet Explorer, This site is a great source for tightening up security on It's settings.

Make sure that you keep your Operating System and IE updated with the latest Critical Security Updates from Microsoft...they usually come out once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well.
For ease use the following program:

Cleanup
Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided. Also read How I got Infected
