Solved: how can I fix the “init32m.exe” problem?

[Kingszito]

Hi,
I am Kings Zito, in past few days my computer was attacked by ”spysheriff”. After running Microsoft anti spyware and Panda anti virus, I was able to delete the virus, but the ”spysherriff” kept on coming till I decided to search for a help on the internet, after much exploration on the internet, I was very lucky to get your website from CNN search.

Getting to your website, I saw a topic "I need help getting rid of SpySherriff", which was the same problem as mine then, so I followed the same instruction given to ”elusive_jp” on the 04-Jul-2005, by ”flrman1”, after downloading and scanning as He (flrman1) directed, the spysheriff is no where to be found in my computer again. I am very grateful.

So now, my problems are these, first, my windows XP is in Hungarian and I don't understand Hungarian, secondly, after this attack, each time I start my computer it does bring out something like this on the start up “windows could not find init32m.exe” Is there any way I can change my windows language to English, without deleting or re-running my programs? And how can I fix the “init32m.exe” problem? Please any advice on these two issues will be highly appreciated. Below is my computer's logfile of Hijackthis

I am very glad to hear from you, flrman1. I have downloaded ewido and Ccleaner as you adviced. I tried to download smitRem.zip, but my computer keeps on bringing this message "C:\Documents and settings\User\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\smitRem{1}.zip Érvénytelen Menüleíró (Invalid Menu Description)" Please advice. Thx Kingszito

 

[Flrman1]

When you downalod the file choose "Save" and save it to your desktop. Don't choose "open". Save it then unzip smitRem.zip to extract the files it contains.

 

[Kingszito]

I have done as u directed me, unziped the smitRem.zip to my desktop, ran ewido, ran panda active scan, deleted the files (viruses), which Panda active scan couldn't delet, but I don't know how to get to this file "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SNO" in my computer, as panda detected it as virus. I am still gettting the "init32m.exe" message on start up.Below is my HJT logfile and Panda active scan report. Please advise. Thanks for your concern.
