I know, that Spybot S&D is quite a program. Anyway, we need to see the entire startup
list. We still don't have the Win.ini and System.ini listed. That's part of it, so
you could please post those sections? You don't have to repost the rest of it. For
now...
You said, I run the Find prog in Registry and it found the following: HKey_Current_Users\..........\Explorer\Doc
Find Spec MRU name: b firstlook c registry d win.ini e Rdxie.dll f Active X g OSA-what
is this? h Active X i Ptsnoop j Trash App MRU List eafhgibidc
I don't know what the path is HKCU......\? but that's just a record of recently searched
for items. It's deceiving to look around in the registry. These things can be taken
care of without going into regedit, aside from that PTSnoop. Just forget that for
now.
OSA goes with Office program, just uncheck it in msconfig under the startup tab (or
delete from startup folder, if it's there) Also, uncheck LoadQM and Taskmon.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINACE\WINACE.EXE = either a KaZaa file or part of a virus replicating
as a KaZaa file. You have KaZaa installed then? Info. on that file:
W32duloada
More W32duloada
I don't know what FarStone is in your programs folder. If it's not necessary, remove
it from your startup. You need to trim down your startups, too.
NewdotNet is still in there. I believe the instructions at that link say to uninstall
it in Add-Remove programs. Did you do that, or is it still there?
This is something interesting, I'd found out awhile back....
Quote:
Windows Update Critical Update Notification. This will appear in your Task List
if you did a Windows Update at some stage and installed the "Critical Update Notification"
component. Do not walk, run to your "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the Control Panel
and immediately uninstall Microsoft Windows Critical Updates Notification.
Recommendation :
It is best that you simply do a Windows Update once every two or three months, say,
and only at times when you do not require your PC urgently in the following 24 hours
! Finally, quite aside from the above, WUCRTUPD is also sometimes responsible for
illegal operations, 3-seconds mouse freezes, WULOADER error messages, and Invalid
Page Faults in KERNEL32. Have we said enough ?
End Quote.... from below site:
Tasklist
JmC will probably take a look to. This is just another step.
