Hello,

errror: wtoolsa. If anyone can help me in finding out
what causes it and how I can fix it, it would be greatly
apperciated.

Have a look here -
PC Hell: How to Remove WinTools (Huntbar variant):
http://www.pchell.com/support/wintools.shtml

My Basic Instructions -

Restart in Safe Mode:
-Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 Startup menu
(boot menu) appears.
-Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter.

Then delete the Wintools folder and run Hijack This in Safe Mode, and use it to
remove these entries:

C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe
C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsS.exe
C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WSup.exe

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) -
{87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} -C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} -
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools\WToolsB.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinTools] C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe

Also, see "YellowHammer's" procedure here, near the bottom of the thread:

Here is my standard response on how to download and use Hijack This:

Download, unzip, and run Hijack This from one of these locations:
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...HijackThis.exe
Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick
HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents, or
similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at one of these forums:
