PC-Problems

[GorToma]

Hi,

i had to dlete some spyware on my pc and when i start i become this:

mistake by downlaoding from C:\Programm\Newdot\Newdot~1\Newdot~2.dll

The named module couldnt be found

i started the PC several times, made another virus scan but every time the same.

:dunno: whats wrong

[Shania's4life!!]

Do you get this error before Windows/your operating system loads?

[GorToma]

after windows is started but now i have another problem

echa 30 - 40 minutes i become the message that i have to close all my open programs, the PC is starting new in 60 seconds - if i remember wasnt ther a worm last year that made this (Sober/Sasser) ?? - thanks for help

Does starting in safe mode and doing a virus scan there help?

[GorToma]

i didnt make a start in safe mode yet but at the moment there running two virus scans

Sasser removal tool:

... but is it sasser? Perhaps it would be best to close the comp, use another comp to google the exact error message, then print out the removal instructions and or download the removal tool to a diskette or cd.
As there isn't a whole lot you can do in that limited time. And it would be best if an infected machine wouldn't be online.

That NewDotNet seems to be a parasite, and that error message comes after using the spyware removal programs.

More about sasser, this page also has the error message screencap

thanks for the link - yeah thatz was the message - i let the scan run - took only minutes - but nothing was found and what i dont understand - the pc didnt start new - like it was said in the description - lol - lets wait what addaware says

[captainCorr]

Hmmm.....

[GorToma]

now the pc is running for 60 minutes and nothing happend (no sasser - lol) - but 211 new critical opjects found by adaware

[captainCorr]

Wow....!
Did you also scan for virusses?

[GorToma]

its now running - Trend Micro Internet Security - but what i dont understand, i let run adaware once a day and there is never more than 10 - 15 spyware programs and now that

[captainCorr]

Maybe something you downloaded/installed?

[aFinn]

Read about that newdot, when I quickly searched about it it seemed to be related to some software installations etc, and that might have opened up your computer to viruses etc.

[GorToma]

yep - winmx - i deleted it and then all began but at the moment all is working perfectly - i deleted all spyware and the virus scanner dosnt find any virus - thers only the first problem with the newdot.dll - but i will ask our pc administator at work tommorrow and i think he will help me

[captainCorr]

That newdot thing sounds VERY familiar (to me)....:uhh:
(myself or someone else also had this problem not too long ago....)

Just can't place it at the moment. :scowl:

[GorToma]

well - perhaps its gone when i start new after the virus scan has finished - perhaps it was one of the spyware programs

Its looking for the file when you start the PC. Whats your OS? Are you familiar with MSCONFIG?

[GorToma]

yeah - its something with rundll , b/c when i restart the pc ive got he same message like when it starts - but all other things are running now normal - no virus, no spyware

[cftennisnative3]

I hope it works out for you Richard...

[Troll]

Hope you get it fixed

[GorToma]

Its looking for the file when you start the PC. Whats your OS? Are you familiar with MSCONFIG?

[Troll]

[Mizery1]

Last time I removed that totally it broke Winsock DNS settings, so I need to get Winsock repair program from other computer, If winsock is broken Net or Lan wont work.

[GorToma]

thanks for info - but at the moment it works perfect - i think its much faster than b/4
