Worm / Virus Has Invaded The PC/ System Works Slow?
May 17, 2005
Microsoft Windows, SpyBot, and Norton all sent a deluge of windows saying they had detected changes. SpyBot sent 7-10 warnings, one of them saying "SpyBot. Search & Destroy has detected an important registry item entry that has been changed. Catagory: System Startup global entry; Change: Value deleted; Entry: elkfqxcj; Old data: c:windowselkfqxcj.exe; [allow change][Deny change].Each of these SpyBot notices had a different entry. Since then my computer is extremely slow, freezes up when left for any time. A window pops us when opening and when changing applications titled "16 bit Windows Subsystem", saying:
C:WindowsSystem32AutoExec.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Window's applications. Choose 'close' to terminate application. [close] [ignore]

computer now takes half an hour to an hour to reboot. in doing so, it tells me that it does not do the startup and services. it is so slow it is unbelievable. sometimes even being so slow that the words we type take a few seconds to show up on the screen. after working for a time it will invariably hang. or it will shut itself down. in either case we have to reboot, it takes that half an hour to an hour again

I tried to start it up and it takes forever to load. It takes a couple of minutes to open any of the icons on the desktop too (Mozilla, Word). I tried to clean up as best I could. I ran some spyware programs and antivirus and nothing too much showed up -- no viruses. It takes so long to run these programs that I go off and do other stuff and come back hours later and the scans are still running! Is there anything that you can recommend to get the laptop running as it should?

I'm wondering if it's safe to do that. I would guess that individual documents wouldn't be infected. I wouldn't want to infect my new computer. Afterwards, I plan to reformat the drive and re-install the operating system. The infected machine is an older one, so I may use it for simple word processing or older games or give it away. I know that reformating won't destroy old files beyond recovery but I'd hope it would take care of any viruses. I don't have any personal economic info on it since I haven't used a program like Quicken or Money.
I know the machine has at least one virus (about.com) and may have others since many of the programs that should take care of this stopped working after I installed Windows Service Pack 2. I gather others had similar problems after doing the same. Perhaps the most annoying is that I can't access the icons on the bottom of the screen. That includes files you minimize.

I'm running XP Home Edition. A few days back I contracted one of those viruses that hi-jacks IE, but I was able to catch it before it completely installed. I used Malwarebytes, AVG and SuperAntiVirus to get rid of it and (after several scans) I'm now pretty certain that my system is 100% clean.Nevertheless, under the one user account that was infected AND in Admin (Safe Mode), programs like IE, Firefox, and Rhapsody can no longer find an Internet connection. Also Malwarebytes and SuperAntiVirus can't find their respective update servers. However, Bittorrent and Outlook still work fine and I can still ping IPs and Web addresses from the command window. The other odd thing is that one user account (on the same computer and that does not have Admin privileges) is still working perfectly.

Turn computer on and it log in and i can only go on the internet for 2 minutes but its very very slow, after the 2 minutes the internet stops working, i restart to safemode and everything is fine. I know its some kind of virus but i don't know what. Also when i restart from the normal mode a window comes up saying .neteventbroadcast has to shut down and it tries shutting it down.

I purchased a 200gb external USB hard drive (HAMMER) a few years ago. It seems that over time Windows XP has been migrating critical files over to it or something. I have been finding strange folders with strange properties. Anyways, the computer boots up just fine when the HD is off, but if the HD is ever turned on and then looses its connection, the computer usually shuts down or restarts itself. If anyone knows exactly what's going on or how to fix this problem,

i have had something on my pc for sometime now. i am unable to get rid of it. i have tried norton antivirus, trend micro, spy sweeper, adaware.all programs detect threats, remove them, but the problems keep coming back. it started out as random pop ups on my computer. then, a few days ago i realized i could not access my task manager or my control panel. i get an error stating that the 'task manager has been disabled by administrator' and 'the program has been disabled due to restrictions on your computer. contact administrator.'

It can't even seem to keep up with my typing. Ugh. I use AVG free, and it is current and doesn't detect any problems.

A client computer (XP Home) started receiving the pop-up message "DCOM NT Authority/System". And then the pop-up says you have 60 seconds until shutdown. I have used the FixBlast.exe removal tool from Symantec. I have run it in regular and safe mode and receive the message "Worm Not Found" in each. I have run a virus check using AVG and no results. I still get the message after XP starts to load. I can eliminate the message by running "shutdown -a" from the run command. Does anyone know of any other way of checking for Blaster 32 or how to get rid of the pop-up.

The my computer window instantly opens with all the correct icons displayed on the lest (view system information add remove programs change a setting...) but it shows no drives and I cannot click on anything. If I hit control alt delete it is reported as not responding but after about 45 seconds the rest of the icons show up. I open control pannel and try to open the system folder and nothing happens. I tried running nortons system works windoctor but after the cd launches it freezes. After about 3 hours of working on it I gave up and reinstalled windows ( i did the windows repair so I didn't lose program files and such, i did not re-initialize). After re-installing everything was going fine until last night. The same exact thing is occuring again. Ive attempted running Ad-aware and its locking up after it finds a few files, I have no clue what its finding since its locking up. Ive tried booting in safe mode but it locks up at mup.sys. Their is also no internet connection IE or Firefox can find but when I open the network connections folder it says that I am connected. Im wondering if its a bad HDD or if I've got some delayed action virus or something. Neither seems to likely to me since if it was the HDD when i ran a HDD scan (in dos from the win repair cd) it comes across as fine and the virus would have to be a delayed action one or something since it keeps hitting almost exactly a week after the problems occur.

I am about to get rid of norton system works and would like to knowabout some alternatives.I have been using norton systemworks for years and also use AVG as asecondary virus checker.I have sourced some alternatives for most of the utilities i.e zone alarm, may try avast (instead of AVG), regclean.But what I will miss is the 'one button checkup' from norton that scans your system and detects any probs before fixing them. Is there any other free program that do this?If anyone has any other suggestions as to what alternatives to use (preferably free!) instead of Norton System works.

XP started behaving strangely-nothing in Explorer would work. I tried to do a system restore but the computer crashed whilst trying to do this. I had to reset the computer and after log-in there were no icons and you couldn't open anything. Decided to do a repair install using original XP CD. This was okay until it got to 'installing devices' (about 35 mins left), it started asking for files such as 'sunbelt counterspy.msi' (which I don't even want it to install) and won't complete the installation as I can't locate the files it wants

I don't use System Restore all that often, but when I tried to use it after the last Windows Update, it didn't work. I didn't think all that much of it at the time, until I found out that someone else I know has a similar problem. I tried it again and it still didn't work. I have tried disabling it and then re-booting, turning it on again, re-booting and then setting another resore point, hoping this will clear any corrupted files as well as all the other restore points. Again, this hasn't worked. It is refusing to go back to any restore point I set. What is wrong? I have found this facility really helpful the few times I have needed to use it - in fact a life-saver and wouldn't want to be without it. I am using Windows XP Home - SP3.

I un-installed AOE3 the trial version. the day after i went to use Microsoft Works Word Processor. and I got a error saysing. "This application has failed to start because Msi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem" so I went to add/remove programs and I got a error saying something like windows installer is not installed. so I went and looked how to fix that.. went through the steps of fixing that. restarted my computer. and went to click on add/remove programs under control panel. and it will no longer open.So then I had the bright idea of doing a system restore. and everything before the day of the uninstall of AOE3 is gone. and so I went to do the system restore to the day I uninstalled it. and I click the date. click the first next. then where it goes to the page that gives you the warnings. and says you wont lose documents and e=mails and I click next and it goes no further.

I have a Dell Optiplex GX280 running Windows XP that doesn`t do anything after start page is loaded except turn off or restart. I can ONLY (won`t allow me to do it in normal mode) do a system restore in safe mode & then it works perfect. When I turnoff or restart it goes back to the same problem - freezes up after start page has loaded. I have to do system restore in safe mode only all over again.
