Folders on Desktop
Hey,
For some crazy reason, I cant open my files, or folders on the desktop, not even my computer, or my documents. I have recived these error, Explorer has caused an error in (PDF563F.Dll, or Shell32.dll, or Shiwapi.dll, shdocvw.dll, even once i believe kernel32.dll), i have tried restore, but to no avail, is there a way i can find out wats wrong, like a program that scans the comp or something and fixes this, all i have is the ability to go online, like now, ohh one more thing i also went on safe mode, and on safe mode the files open on my desktop and stuff, Im running on WinME, compaq presario 7000T, or the latest patches and stuff Sincerely, Adam |

You may have a virus/spyware hijack
download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files. Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html Use CWShredder, the removal tool: http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip Try BHODemon - from http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/bhod/ Download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. (thanks to Graham Womack for the following) Do all this in Safe Mode....... Make a Restore Point - just in case it gets worse. Using Regedit, search for 'Safeguard'. Make a note of the dll name (if there's an entry at all). Run BHODemon. Look for the same dll name The 'Details' key should give you more information about when the entries were loaded. Disable the registry entry. Search your hard drive for the dll file (should be in Windows\System). Rename it and a similar named lib file - change the extensions.

Did you run BHODemon first? - did it find SafeGuard there?
what EXACTLY did you do?

Note - files in the _Restore archive cannot harm your PC unless you restore back to a time after you were infected, and before you cleaned the system. Best advice is to leave System Restore well alone until such time as your PC is all fixed, then reset it to clear the problem (if it's still present) -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp wrote in message ...

Ok, i did the stinger, in which it stated i had the virus
which we cant do anything about, then i did the CWshreddar which stated something could be apart of the CWS.Control.4 which uses random file names, C:\WINDOWS\UnGins.exe, i had no clue so i clicked no, then i did the BHODEMON two things came up, #1 was D:\PROGRAM FILES\ADOBE\ACROBAT 5.0 \READER\ACTIVEX\ACROIEHELPER.OCX__BHODemonDisabled #2 was C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PDF563F.DLL__BHODemonDisabled i disabled them both, now what, i still cant open my folders or computer, nothing thanks for everything adam |

You definitely need to run CWShredder again, and tell it to get rid of that
file!! The Acroread BHO is normal - enable that. the PDF563F.DLL BHO is dodgy - what does BHODemon say about it when you click Details|More Details?? Now you've disabled it, reboot, and go to the file itself - rename it to PDF563F.OLD, reboot again, and see what falls overg. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp wrote in message ...
