I copied the winlogon.exe file from the 1386 folder and renamed the one in
sys32, then pasted the one from the i386 folder. After restarting, the
same
error occured. "Winlogon.exe encountered a problem and needed to close". I
viewed the error report and it stated:
Error signature
szAppName: winlogon.exe szAppVer: 0.0.0.0 szModName: unknown
szMod Ver: 0.0.0.0 offset: 3bf22d96

The technical information stated:
The following files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\Byron\LOCALS~1\TempWER40b8.dir00\winlo go.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Byron\LOCALS~1\TempWER40b8.dir00\appco mpat.txt

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I thought I'd pass it along.
Thanks,
Byron

Hey all,

I visited a site a couple weeks ago that ran a script on my machine. My
antivirus caught it (Norton) and quarentined the virus (tannick.b). I
thought
all was good until I started my pc the next day and received a XP error
stating "Winlogon.exe encountered a problem and must be shut down",
additionally IE would crash after 1 to 2 minutes of use and my home page
had
been changed. I ran Spybot Search and Destroy, Win ASO registry
optimiszer,
CW shredder, Browser Hijack Retaliator, and Pest Patrol. The registry has
been cleaned and corrected, spy/adware removed, virus quarentined, and IE
no
longer crashes. However, each time my machine starts, the "Winlogon.exe
encountered a problem and must be shut down" message is displayed. The
machine appears to run fine but now restarts with the shut down option
from
the start menu. Once the machine has restarted, you can shut down from the
logon menu. I ran Hijack This and generated a log, can someone look over
this
log and help me find the resolution to this problem. The log is listed
below.

HELP!
Thanks,
Byron


Unless your computer is very different than any other I've seen, there is no
Winlogon.exe in the I386 folder. There IS a Winlogon.ex_

You cannot just copy it and rename it. You have to expand it. It is a
compressed version of the EXE and has to be uncompressed.

expand path_to_it\winlogon.ex_ c:\Windows\System32\Winlogon.exe

Note: I am assuming that you are using WinXP and chose to post in a Win98
newsgroup for some reason of your own.
