Ad-Aware locking up

Hi all-
I have an older computer with ad-aware installed. It gets so far, and then just hourglass....left it on overnight and same thing. It doesn't get too far. I have gone in and physically deleted some big files, seems like it has trouble with zip or large files. But then when it gets to the next one, it freezes up. It is showing that there are something like 73 files it has found and I can't do anything with them, because I have to shut it down and start it over. I tried to do the update file, but says nothing is found. It is on a win95 computer if that makes any difference. Thanks!

 

Hi, Would like to have you post a log from HijackThis, a program (very tiny) that we use to see what problems exist.

There are directions here to do it:

http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

Download it here:

http://tools.radiosplace.com/HijackThis.exe

It's a direct download so be ready with the folder for it.

Basically, you create a new folder, the desktop is OK provided you make a folder, name it something like HJT, and download TO that folder, run hijackthis.exe from there.

When it is done scanning> the Save log button will become available, save the log as hijackthis.txt which will open with Notepad. Go back to TSG, open your post, and copy and paste the entire logfile into a reply in your thread (here) and wait for advice.

Please do NOT use HJT yourself> nor the other programs yet. There are some cases where other steps are taken!

 

Hi--
HJT downloaded fine. But when I went to run it..it tells me that 'a required .DLL file MSVBVM60.DLL was not found'. Now what?

 

hi, You can try getting this:

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/downloadfaq.html

Down at the bottom get the two downloads

VBRuntimes

MSCOMCTL installer--put them on the desktop,

2 clicks to install for each, that should fix it. Try running/installing again.
Would like an HJT log.

 

Ok, i think it worked this time, here's my log:

You need an online antivirus scan, go here and scan the entire system:

http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp


Set the AUTOCLEAN button by putting in a checkmark and take marks out of floppy drive, and CDROM drive...it takes awhile to load the ActiveX control but eventually will finish, and when the SCAN button turns dark, hit that button and let it scan.

if that one does not want to work, after you give it plenty of time> someone should post some others for you. One more is:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

Then get back to us with a new HJT log and we will see what remains to be done. Good work!

 

ok, the Housecall virus scan found 5 viruses, which I deleted.. Here is my new HJT log:

hi, One more run of HJT:

O2 - BHO: LocalNRDObj Class - {00320615-B6C2-40A6-8F99-F1C52D674FAD} - C:\WINDOWS\LOCALNRD.DLL

This time, reboot after HJT fix. Then:

Will need a new log, and > about the two files, they seem to be gone, so no problem, it is not unusual for some not to be found.

It would be in the C:\Windows folder,if you dont find it, that's ok.

 

ok here it is again,...
