UKash RCMP Virus Repairs
Jan 14, 2013
what the best way to validate the security of the system is.I managed to disable and remove the main gist of this guy using MSconfig and tracking down the exe, but one lasting point of concern for me is the rundll32.exe file.That was what this particular virus was using to activate - it was passing a parameter to rundll32.exe in the following manner: rundll32. exe, wsdwsdwsdwsd.exe Now, I have triple scanned the infected computer with Avast, Avast Boot scan, and Malware bytes. At this point, they are all coming up negative for infected files, but again, that rundll32.exe file strikes me as off. I arbitrarily tried passing it a similar .exe file path parameter to something harmless, to no avail, so I'm wondering if the file was compromised. I would like to get rid of this infection entirely, but I want to know if anyone has suggestions as to the best way to verify file integrity.If it is compromised, any suggestions on how to replace it with a legitimate rundll32.exe? It's on a commercial laptop, but I do have a W7 OEM disk lying around.

i have windows 7 64 bit. it would get to the "Starting Windows" screen with the little pulsing logo and then freeze there forever. after forcing a shutdown once or twice it began attempting repairs. it would run checkdisk and find corrupted file and delete them. this happened several times at boot up. often it would freeze after this and not let me enter repair screen. so i loaded up the win 7 disk and tried to repair it from the disk. lo and behold it is not finding an installed copy of win 7. does this mean my os is gone? corrupted? could my hard drive have failed? i dont think its the memory but i have not been able to see the memcheck results since i cant boot up. is there anything i can do or must i reinstall windows. i dont want to loose all my files but do i have any other option?

So my computer was doing fine. It started acting a little slow, so I decided to shut it down and give it a rest. When I turned it on, this is what came up. Startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically.

I was told second hand by her that it was after a windows update install). I attempted startup repair multiple times with no real outcome until i swapped over my main os hdd and was then able to run startup repair on her hdd. From that point on I was able to run win 7 from either drive rather succesfully until the next day. I receieved a text message from the wife while I was at work stating windows updated again and startup was not possible ( thus again i have no idea what update it was). since that point I have been unable to even run startup repair.

This is my first custom built computer. I've had the same similar problem for the past year. I have continuous problems starting up and BSOD. My computer will not start up properly at times. It also seems like this problem happens if my computer is off, not in sleep mode, for longer than 24 hours. It involves several restarts. I've checked my hard drive and memory for bad sectors and not found anything. I've run both the memtest and the windows memory test several times and found no problems.There was one post I found on a seperate site that talked about ASRock m/b having problem with Ram voltage so I've manually changed the BIOS to be the voltage required for the Ram. Seemed like it fixed it temporarily but quickly started getting more BSOD.Recently updated AMD drivers and was completely unable to get into Windows. When I restored the system to before the AMD updates I was able to get into Windows.
Some of the BSOD:Bad_Pool_Header Bug_Code Memory_Management
Below are my system specs:Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Motherboard: ASRock 890GX PRO3 AM3+ AMD 890GX RAM: 4 GB - Patriot G Series �Sector 5� Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Hard Drive: 2 TB - HITACHI Deskstar 7K2000 Graphics Card: Visiontek 900299 Radeon HD 4670 Graphic Card - 750 MHz Core - 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM - PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 1600 MHz Memory Clock - 2560 x 1600 - CrossFireX DVD Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner Windows 7 . . . - x86 (x64) - Professional - Full retail version - Age of system (hardware)? 1 Year - What is the age of OS installation - 1 Year (reinstalled once)

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F 15" laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit) Home Premium. 320 gb. Oh i'm also out of warranty.Computer always freezes at the point where it says "starting windows" and stays frozen. I even left it for alone for 24 hrs and it stayed on that screen.
Things I've tried:
1. I used safe mode to repair windows = just restarted in normal mode and froze at "windows is starting"
2. Used safe mode to restore to earlier point = could not to restore message
3. Created repair disc from another Vaio win 64 = froze at "windows is starting"
4. Used registry clean and malware bytes in safe mode = malware bytes found nothing & reg clean did nothing
5. Fresh install of windows 7 = windows bar loaded then froze at "windows is starting"
6. Reformatted hard drive & performed fresh install = windows bar loaded 7 froze at same point
7. Bought new Western digital 320 gb SATA Hard drive & tried install of win 7= same results

I am having trouble downloading from web pages. Everything that I try to download I can't. A window pops up in the bottom of my computer and says that the download contained a virus and was deleted. I am an online student and need some guidance. This has been going on for two weeks now. I don not have an anti virus anymore because I did a system restore and it wiped out my antivirus protection, and since everything that I try to download contains a virus and is deleted, I cannot get another anti virus. I even tried using my flash drive

I was infected by a virus. It makes the shift key get repeatedly pressed over and over. This happened to me before and I solved it by scanning with MalwareBytes and AVG. When I went to scan with MalwareBytes it needed updating, so I let it. Unluckily for me MalwareBytes thought it would be kind and restart the computer without my consent. Now, due to the virus, I can't login to my account to do anything, even in safe mode.

I recently downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and now I think I have some sort of virus. Within minutes of logging onto my computer, a message keeps popping up that there is a critical error and that the computer will restart within one minute. I have tried to do anything I possibly can to get rid of this issue! It does the same thing while booting up in safemode as well. I also tried to restore my computer to a previous date before this occurred, and it still keeps happening. I figured i'd try to restore it to factory settings also, but it does not give me the option while booting up (f11), or on my control panel. I also tried using the TDSSkiller but my computer reboots before the scanning/fixing finishes.

cleaning up this virus to restore my program folders that are showing up as empty.Unfortunately, I ran a temp files cleaner and I no longer have the smtmp folder. Is there a way for me to restore this? There is no way I am going to restore all those shortcuts manually!

Ok so today i was clearing some data with the Disk Clean Up, almost right after that my computer became extremely slow and unresponsive, I found that my McAfee Security that came free with the laptop was Turned Off and it wont Turn On again. I have tried Installing AVG, running an Rkill that i downloaded last year and have done a System Restore as far back as possible but still my computer becomes unresponsive and wont open any programs unless i'm in safe mode.

I am now struggling with a virus that seems to have imbedded itself in my windows 7 system.I tend not to use it too regularly but the boyfriend does use it to play games in Facebook. I am running a Norton antivirus which has been pretty good up till now. The computer seems to be running fine but my email account has been hijacked and on finding this out I have checked the computer and tried to perform a scan of both the windows system and also my accounts to no avail.The desktop symbols are all in place but none of them are working. I have also tried running a scan in safe mode, once again it would not work. The task manager did not show any action with regards to the antivirus scan that I had requested it to perform.

i built a sandy bridge computer 5 months ago and it worked out great. however today (more specifically this night), i am getting a werfault error when i try to run my calculator (calc.exe). bare with me because this is off the top of my head. the error says something like cannot find reference in *memory address* then gives me another error saying that calc.exe couldnt start correctly.
my first initial thought is that i should run memtest and what not. but i wanted to try to do a system restore first to see if it clears up anything. however, i am prevented from restoring my computer. i would run it and select a date and confirm the restart but then it comes back with system restore has failed/errored. so i am thinking it could be a virus that deleted something important and prevented me from restoring my computer.not sure if these things indicate something else, but i have also encountered "video driver stopped responding and has recovered". in addition, my task bar has been changing from windows 7 theme to a windows 98 type bar and back.
