One of my system files - taskdir.dll concretly- is infected by Trojan.Proxy.lagr. Although Bit Defender 8 blocked the virus, it returns every time I'm booting. How to kill entirely the virus?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been getting a lot of BSOD on my XP notebook (P4 3ghz, 784 ram). Sometimes it will say an ACPI.sys error, or a Bad Pool Caller, etc.I've done some looking and it seems it's a bad driver (well, other posts say that). How do you go about finding which driver it is? There's gotta be 100s of them.....
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a dell PC with windows XP Media Center installed. I think that a virus damaged the boot sector in fact I cannot start my PC.
All I am able to get to is the BIOS or the diagnostics tool, F8 doesn't work, which means I cannot restart in safe mode or last known good configuration and if I use alt+F11, which is the option you have on Dell PC to reformat it in order to have everything the way it was at the time you bought it, it doesn't work.
A friend of mine told me to boot from the CD and then use the fixboot command, the problem is that DELL does not give OS CDs anymore and I honestly do not know what to do
I have a little problem maybe someone has a answer for me. I have a WD 250 GB HDD labeled as the D Drive. Well this morning I cannot get to it from windows at all a error message pops up saying MBR is corrupted or unreadable and that is it, the drive has worked flawlessly until the past week. Whenever I copied a file to it then tried to view or play it it wouldn't let me into the folder where i placed it saying a similiar message the folder has become corrupted and locked me out as to say. Today the system doesn't even recognize the drive at all.

my dying WinXP system sometimes can be coaxed into booting as far as the recovery console or even into Windows (5 or 6 successive reboots, couple of CHDSKs and so on).Will not boot into Safe Mode(hangs after dumping a page of file names)Will not go back to Last Known Good Config Will not go back to any Restore Points I Have given up on it ....and will go for a complete re-install next ... but I would love to be able to grab some files before I kill it off.
Is there some way I can (forgive the terminology) 'stop the system' the second it passes the Windows Log In screen, it sometimes makes it this far but will not complete installation of all apps etc before dying. I just need basic functionality for 15 minutes to copy some files or maybe there is a way to find the files once in Recovery Console?
Internet Options General Tab - Click settings and click View Objects ( Down Loaded Program Files Page ) The programs i have listed there all have files that are damaged , can these damaged files be DELETED. I have only 4 listed there . Schock Wave Flash , ICS Sanner light, QdIAGH Update.

I have a damaged OEM CD and the expired CDKEY that came with it from maximum activations as I was having BSOD problems which then was discovered to be bad RAM. The company I bought it from is now bankrupt and non-existant. Now I am left with a CD that makes a great coaster and a CDKEY that has expired from activation. When I first installed it 1 support request was already used? I had made one request and registered it with Microsoft so it has to be on archive even if it hasn't been used.Since I can't copy and paste.
NeonFx, worked me through getting rid of a really nasty bug and now my machine has been proclaimed CLEAN! However, one of the really annoying side issues was that my printer was totally bogged down. I figured that getting rid of the virus would get my printer back. It spools up, starts to print, and then nothing....takes over 15 minutes to print a half page of word doc. I reinstalled the printer software and updated the drivers. It's still the same...no change. I spent HOURS on the phone today with an HP tech from the Philippines. He basically redid what I did, and said I was running out of RAM. Not true...I've got nearly 50% of RAM available....

2 days ago my computer was infected with a virus (virus.win32.virut.ce) that has ripped it to shreads! Anyway, I got a windows XP disc hoping that I could erase everything and start new but I've noticed that when I start up and I press "CTRL S" to get into my bios, I can't change my boot options. It says:
Network Boot Protocol --- PXE
Boot Order --- Use BIOS boot order
And when I try to change either of those settings it says: "There are no other choices for this option"

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to configure disk clean-up to not consider compressing old files as one of the alternatives? I don't consider file compression to be a useable feature and would like to eliminate it. It also adds greatly to the time it takes disk clean-up to run. What should be a relatively short task turns lengthy with this option enabled.

i downloaded "Demo Version" Jv16 Power tools 2005 from a link to find duplicate files and clean my registry, I thought that programs I had uninstalled and reinstalled for varius reasons were all duplicated with missing files. The download didn't have the handbook which i found out later i needed so now after running dup. file finder, reg cleaner. I have a very unstable system nothing stays stable and there is a mass of backups I don,t know where to start. The forum there won,t help. supposedly I got a old Beta version. My backups don,t look anything like there's. I would like to go back to before i installed with system restore point but i dont know if it can retrieve files from Jv16 backup or what.
View 3 Replies View RelatedGot new parts for PC upgrade. All parts new (including cables) but recycled HDD and DVD/CD-ROM.All bits connected and powered up last night in about 10 mins. Put Windows XP CD in, went into setup/ reformat process then PC needed rebooting to continue with Windows setup. Fine. or so I thought. rebooted, went into "Please press any key to boot from CD". IF pressed any key, went through the whole reformat, copy setup files etc. ELSE, just hangs on that screenie. No error messages or anything!Seems to me like it's gone into a loop, and not running the Windows set-up files copied into the HDD.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMinutes ago I attempted to copy my HDD to another HDD. And I got this message: "Could not copy the file NxFsMon." It IS an XP system driver.Now, I don't know for a fact that this file is corrupt. But let's assume that it is. In which case deleting it and replacing it would, one would think, be a logical approach to the problem. (I fear such an assumption does not always apply in dealing with computers.). Assuming, of course, the file is on the CD. But it's in System32, so would that not be a fair assumption?If the file is corrupt, then there's an XP Repair install or a clean install option. But tell me, could not a copy of the file be taken from the XP CD and used to replace the same file on the HDD. It would seem a quick and much easier solutionthan a repair or clean install.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor the last month i had this virus that has survived 2 reformats and I had enough- I need to kick this thing. The main thing I notice is that it prevents me from installing some programs . AVG gives me some random error code and AIM and MSN say that I need to not be in safe mode to install.During reformat there is an error that invovles M.dll. I remember looking it up on google and it invovles a list of dll files or virus list or something to that effect. Anyway, it wouldnt let me install it during the reformat installation of windows. I tried to download it and put it in system32 folder, but it didn't help.
