error message
From the number of HiJackThis logs that include a reference to Wtoolsa.exe I
think you can take it that this is malware of some sort. It certainly doesn't form a part of the Win Me operating system. Boot to Safe Mode, open MSConfig (Start, Run, enter MSConfig in the box and click OK(, open the Startup tab and uncheck the entry being used to launch wstoolsa.exe, probably labelled something like WinTools. Now reboot back into Normal Mode and check your system for commercial parasites. This might be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and scan your system for and remove all unwanted parasites, adware and spyware that might be hiding on your PC. I would suggest you download and run merijn's CWShredder which targets the CoolWebSearch parasite. CWShredder can be downloaded from (http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip). Details of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: Wtoolsa has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL Wroolsa will close now If you contunue to experience problems try restarting your computer Ihave restarted my computer a dozen times and it will not clear out.
