wincnu32.dll missing - solution found

Larry

Solution found for the error message on start-up "wincnu32.dll is
missing"

This file is part of the Spyware package VirtuMonde. On this machine,
Spybot had deleted all the files but left the references in the
registry. Editing the registry and deleting all references to
VirtuMonde and wincnu32.dll got rid of the message.

Thanks for the info, sometimes it takes some research to get to the bottom
of things. So how did you find out that was it?

I looked in the Spybot logs for some reference to the file and there it
was in a collection headed VirtuMonde. Easy to google VirtuMonde as
lots on the net re that.

I'd strongly recommend that you run a /thorough/ check for Vundo and other
hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,
http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for expert
analysis, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Thanks for the response. Any idea how you got it?

And I agree with Pa Bear, best check for other stuff, could be other
hidden. Might want to tighten your security a bit...

No, don't know how it got on the machine but it's a computer that many
use, so it's hard to control what they do to it..

I have checked the machine for other things and it is clean and works
well. This was the last step in cleaning it up.

Oh well, just thought you could give a hint for others what to avoid.

Yeah, multi-accessed 9X computers are difficult to control unless policies
and other is setup - but then that can be problematic.

Okay, thanks for the info,, at least there is another warning out there
about VirtuMonde, and what might need done to finish the removal.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=27971

Again, I /strongly/ recommend posting your HijackThis log in an appropriate
forum for review by an expert in such matters, Larry. This is NOT something
to fool around with. Just because no anti-spyware or anti-virus scan you've
run doesn't find anything amiss or you don't see anything amiss in the
HijackThis log does NOT mean the machine's "clean."
