unable to use Windows-KB890830-V1.2-ENU.EXE.
It seems very likely that my computer got infected with a certain virus
or viruses. I visited Microsoft Web Site and downloaded their proprietary virus-eliminating softwaWindows-KB890830-V1.2-ENU.EXE. When I attempt to execute this program, two error messages appear: "A device attached to the system is not functioning." and "Windows-KB890830-V1.2-ENU.EXE file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:NtShutdownSystem" I checked the Window's directory and confirmed the presence of NTDLL.DLL in its SYSTEM folder. Just in case the file is corrupt, I tried to re-copy from the original Windows CD but the message showed up:"The file is used by Windows.". Is this seemingly strange situation itself a consequence of virus infection? Can someone tell me what to do now? |

This error message means that you're trying to run a Windows NT/2000/XP
program on a Windows 95/98/Me computer. Get the correct patch or update for Windows 98. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * In fond memory ...

KB890830 is NOT an anti virus application it is a tool for Spyware removal /
prevention. The two, Virus / Spyware, are entirely different and require different applications to detect their problems "Junji Tsuzuki" wrote in message news:EBZ0e.2126$Qz.902@okepread05...

It seems very likely that my computer got infected with a certain virus or viruses. I visited Microsoft Web Site and downloaded their proprietary virus-eliminating softwaWindows-KB890830-V1.2-ENU.EXE. When I attempt to execute this program, two error messages appear: "A device attached to the system is not functioning." That can be something bent involving the ability for Windows to run Command.com - i.e. .PIF properties, version soup, etc. and "Windows-KB890830-V1.2-ENU.EXE file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:NtShutdownSystem" That is more likely a Windows version issue - esp. if you are running Win9x given that it's NTDLL.DLL rather than one on Win9's three stooges (KRNL386.EXE, GDI.EXE, USER.EXE). I checked the Window's directory and confirmed the presence of NTDLL.DLL in its SYSTEM folder. Oh, OK! Lemmie test this Win98SE box... yes indeed, looks native to Win98 as well, given the Version tab info. Just in case the file is corrupt, I tried to re-copy from the original Windows CD but the message showed up:"The file is used by Windows.". Is this seemingly strange situation itself a consequence of virus infection? Not necessarily; the relationship between this and being infected is Venn, with a small overlap between the two sets. IOW, irrespective of this issue, there is always the possibility of your PC being infected. Can someone tell me what to do now? I'd do a formal virus check, myself - as per http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/virtest.htm ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - Gone to bloggery: http://cquirke.blogspot.com ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - |
