Hello there, I was recomended by someone to see if DAF could solve my problems. I am using v0.60.0.24. It was suggested I just hit the Double Check Mark and go through everything, but the program seems to hang when it is "Stopping CRYPTSVC..."

I wait for a seemingly long time, then just exit the program anyway.

Thanks for your time

Welcome to Lunarsoft, Squidolin!

Try again and if it fails, please post a Dial-a-fix log.

Tried again, and here's the log...

I noticed the instruction to reboot and try again because "11:29:30 AM | C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Local Settings\Temp could not be completely emptied, please reboot and try again", so I did that too.

Notes about this log:

1) "->" denotes an external command being executed, and "-> (number)" indicates

the return code from the previous command

2) Not all external command return codes are accurate, or useful

3) Sometimes commands return 0 (no error) even when they fail or crash

4) If an error occurs while registering an object, please send an email to:

dial-a-fix@DjLizard.net and include a copy of this log

Have you been having any issues with your computer prior to needing to use Dial-a-fix?

Yes I have. I am continuously getting "The instruction at "0x00401613" referenced memory at "0x00006678". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program" <-- that particular error is from opening Windows Explorer (explorer.exe), but I get this error a lot, especially when I try to update anything from the internet, i.e. Windows and my Antivirus software etc.

You may wish to check for malware. I have just updated all of my Anti-Malware Packages. For detailed instructions on both settings and scanning features, please refer to the PC Maintenance page.

Ok, but I've done most of that already through another site. I suppose I could go through it all again.

You may want to post a HijackThis log in our HijackThis forum. You can download the latest version from the Download section here on Lunarsoft.

We'll see where to go from there.

PS: Happy Birthday!

Hehehe...thanks

I'll go through all the steps you have listed for scanning my comp, then I'll post the HiJackThis log in the appropriate forum.

I went through all of the procedures you list in the forum for the AntiMalware-Full. 9 hours later, here's what happened...

I get a message when I boot up ...

"Error loading C:\WINDOWS|system32\sotnoeqf.dll. The specific module could not be found."

Plus, I got error messages during HijackThis, which I've never had befor when I ran that program. I listed those errors with my log in the HijackThis Thread.

Squidolin, I'll correspond with you in your HijackThis thread about errors you get from here on, until Dial-a-fix runs smoothly.

As for the loading error, you removed some malware. This line to be exact:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [icq.com] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sotnoeqf.dll",forkonce

You had a few infections, but don't worry; we'll get you cleaned up thoroughly. :hello:
