Ok... A few weeks ago I got some really bad spyware that changed my desktop to a "you have been infected" message and started "Winhound Spyware Remover"

I immediatly did a sytem restore and everything seemed fine. But today I was starting an online game and my game minimized to the very same thing again. Changed wallpaper and winhound. This time I did a restore to an even earlier date. It went through the restore fine, then when I try to log on it says. "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc00000005)". It gives that error twice and then logs in. But nothing shows up accept my original wallpaper. What can I do?

Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go. I suspect you have a malware problem. Work your way through the malware removal guide (link is at the top of this forum) or use this one http://www.geekstogo...?showtopic=2852. This enables folks to solve most problems on their own. If you still have trouble after that, post a hijack this log in the malware forum at
http://www.geekstogo...o-Here-f37.html :tazz:

ok avg found i virus in the "wininet.dll" file in the C:\windows\system32. I deleted it and downloaded another. But, there was also an infected file called __delete_on_reboot__oleext.dll It is still infected. Can I delete this file or what should I do?

By the way thanks for the help. I went through the whole list and it found dif. things. The delete on reboot thing showed up several time but I havent got rid of it yet. My windows explorer works though :tazz: Thanks guys

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.
