HELP! aftermath of spyware problems winlogon.exe file missing and other errors - GoFuckYourself.com

TheEnforcer · 06-08-2006, 11:03 AM

After having major spyware troubles a couple days ago and using AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy to fix it now every time I reboot I get a message that winlogon.exe file is missing and the computer definately seems to be running slower. Also woke up to a "virtual memory" is maxed out message. Also when rebooting I get one of those Microsoft error messages about the Services and App functions having to be shut down and a few other error messages as well at various times.

Any suggestions?

dxvwufum.exe has to shut down in another of the errors I am getting...

Silly windows. I'd format, who knows what else is fucked.

Time for a system restore or format. Once it gets to that point you've probably fucked it up where anything else you do will just fuck it up more, and it will be nothing but aggravation.

In the future, SpySweeper is the most powerful system protector to use by the way.

dont forget to install various anti-spyware programs after a fresh install

i advise that you make FireFox your default browser as well

Thanks for the replies folks.

as mentioned unless theres something super important , i would re-format windows..

But dont install any "box" spyware removers, they are all pretty well useless and will either slow your computer down or cause it to get infected. ( or wreck your system like yours has been )

Keep your system up to date , dont use firefox because your not solving any problems your just making yourself feel more secure.

Go to www.antivirus.com every now and then , and keep an eye on exploit news for problems with software you run..

Once you have reformatted copy your running proccesses so you know whats "supposed to be there and whats not " for fuiture reference. also copy the structure of your windows/system32 folder and keep an eye on new files by "sorting by date last modified "
when you fin a file that looks suspicious , type the complete filename into google. if nothing can be found , its prob bad.
