If you do not have Adaware, then please download it but not run it yet.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.'

[crunchie]

I think it's a pain!! :) .

Click here to download and install Registrar Lite. Install, run, copy and paste this line to reglite's address bar:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\\AppInit_DLLs

and hit the "go" tab. Find: "Appinit_Dlls" value on the right side panel, DoubleClick, copy and post here the information in the 'Value' field.

Click here or here to download FindnFix.exe (2K/XP only!) by freeatlast. Double-click on the FINDnFIX.exe and it will install a folder called FINDnFIX on your system. Go to that folder and double-click on !LOG!.bat. The program takes a few minutes to collect the necessary information. When done post the contents of Log.txt here.

[travman]

registrar lite: C:\WINDOWS\System32\logfof.dll
i need notpad i dont have a link perhaps?? for findnfix

thanks for all ur help

[crunchie]

The links for findnfix are in my last post.
http://freeatlast100.100free.com/
http://downloads.subratam.org/FINDnFIX.exe

Do you mean that notepad is not working?

[travman]

yea i downloaded findnfix then when its done i guess it puts it info in notepad and my comp said it didnt find notepad

[crunchie]

Notepad.

Go to System32\dllcache and find notepad.exe
Right Click on Notepad.exe and choose copy from the menu.

Go back to the System32 folder and right click on an empty space in the window. Choose paste from the menu. This will place a fresh copy of Notepad in your system32 folder. See if you can make the log now.

[travman]

thanx notepad was already there and the computer was just lookin in the wrong place so here is the findnfix log
