Hi, and thank you so much for this forum!
I've read problems simular but not quite like mine and was hesitant to follow the instructions given since they may not apply to me.
I did run the AVG Anti-Spyware as suggested in this topic, however I blew it and have 2 reports to share. I scanned before changing settings, then "fixed" 15 things, changed settings and scanned again. I will include both reports.
My problem started after visiting jokeroo.com and watching some funny videos. When I left the internet I opened Quicktime Pro to convert some of my own video, which I'd been working on with no problem for several days. Quicktime opened the .mov file, but when I clicked on "export" to convert it to an mpg4 file I received the following pop-up:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\ProgramFiles\Quicktime\QuicktimePlayer.exe
I tried a few times, no change, so I decided to try the conversion with another program I own called 'Video Edit Magic", which has also always worked with no problems. This time it opened fine, but when I tried to open a file it either shut down and disappeared or if I actually got a file opened it returned an error message and not being able to complete the process.
I tried Windows Movie Maker - that one just shuts down when I click "file" and before I can choose "open".
I uninstalled Quicktime and Itunes.
I ran McAfee Security Center Virus Scan.
I ran Registry Mechanic.
I ran SpyBot Search & Destroy.
I ran Lavasoft AdAware.
I reinstalled Quicktime.
No change.
I uninstalled QT again.
I contacted McAfee. Per their directions I disabled System Restore, booted in safe mode and ran a full scan. It found 7 things that had not been there before and removed them.
McAfee tells me it is not a virus and that I need to contact Quicktime for a patch.
Quicktime says it is Microsoft/Windows.
Microsoft says it is probably malware, please contact McAfee.
I've searched the phrase "buffer overrun detected" on many search engines and do not find my specific error.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance.
Here are both AVG reports, the longest one was the first scan before putting the settings as recommended in your post. The second is after the cleaning. I searched for the file mentioned:
corkb100.exe (don't know what that is or why it's in my picture folder?) but "search" does not find it?
Thank you again!
