Error Message
Does anyone know how to fix an error message that I
have?? It comes up as soon as the computer finishes loading. It's an illegal operation notice, and if I click close it just comes up again in about 2 secs. It says "wtoolsa has performed an illegal operation and will be shutdown" I click close and 2 seconds later it comes back up. It also seems to be affecting the perforance of the PC too. let me know if you can help. Thanks You, Geoff Owens |

Error Message
See "YellowHammer's" procedure he
http://computercops.info/modules.php...topic&p=172295 Over-simplified version - 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. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and End Task on any WTools or WSup item listed, if found. Then delete the Wintools folder, 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 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: http://forums.net-integration.net/ http://computercops.biz/forums.html http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showforum=30 http://tomcoyote.org/forums/ http://www.lavasoftsupport.com http://boards.cexx.org/ The folks there will tell you what to remove.
