Hi Tea,
I got a little drastic as I found next time I booted it was back again and HijackThis found a whole lot of entries in the System Restore area of the Hard Drive. At this stage I removed everything relating to Antivirus, Firewall & Spyware as this PC was not on LAN or Internet. I stopped System Restore and rebooted then installed the latest Symantec Antivirus 10.1.5.5000. Which found the following. Scan type: Manual Scan Event: Security Risk Found! Risk: Trojan.Vundo File: C:\QooBox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\yeieewqq.dll.vir Location: C:\QooBox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32 Computer: IBM-OSJNTUO7I9X User: IBM-OSJNTUO7I9X\Administrator Action taken: Cleaned by Deletion Date found: Monday, 19 May 2008 11:28:34 PM Scan type: Manual Scan Event: Security Risk Found!

Thanks so much for all your assistance. This Laptop is now working 100% OK and we got to save all my Photos. BUT I'm waiting for number three as number two just ocured, biggest nightmare in my IT career Today my primary Laptop that has about 15 Years of Work info thats been transfered onto it over the Years has failed and is definately the most Important PC I own. Could you please help me with this Issue? Briefly, just out of the Blue, Windows XP Starts to Load then I get a Microsoft Visual Basic C++ Runtime Library Pane with the following error. Runtime Error Program :\??\D:\WINDOWS\System32\Winlogon.exe This Application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. When I hit OK, it Blue Screens. I'm really really desperate, would you like me to open a new topic. can you assist with this one??? Your Faithfully Alex |

Hi Alex,
If you'll do the following, Symantec won't pick them up any more. Qoobox is ComboFix's "quarantine". So, please delete ComboFix and its accompanying folder C:\Qoobox. Empty your Recycle bin and reboot your computer. Do you have the XP disk for the other computer? It'll give us more options if you do, and we'll see what we can do to save all your work. Regards, tea -------------------- |

Hi Teacup
QooBox Folder was already removed and this PC is working fine, Im using it to correspond now. My Primary Laptop is a IBM T60 with a 100GB Hard Drive. It only has one System Partition and a Hidden Partition for IBM Rescue Restore Utility, (Great help that was) Windows start to boot and then I get the message I posted earlier. Runtime Error Program :\??\D:\WINDOWS\System32\Winlogon.exe This Application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Once I hit OK, the following appears on the BSD Stop: C000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000003 (0x00000000 0x00000000). The System has been Shutdown. Once I managed to Boot of XP SP2 CDm I had to find and load SATA Drivers for Hard Drive to be seen. The very first time I actually saw 2 Partition in the Repair Menu that I had a choice to enter. 1: D:\Windows 2: C:\ MiniNT I loaded Windows and got into a DOS Prompt and could navigate around all my file Structures. After the first time if I now go back into XP Repair only 1: C:\Windows appears. Can't boot into Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration. Regards Alex |

Hello,
So you can get a DOS prompt? Bring it up and type in sfc /scannow (take note of the space between the "c" and the "/"). Scans all protected system files immediately and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. This command may require access to the Windows installation source files. If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the cache folder (%Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker also checks and repopulates the cache folder. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747 -------------------- |

Is there a similar command then? Can you get to the Recovery Console? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654

Hi TeaCup,
Sorry for the confusion, I should use correct terminology. I am using the "Windows XP installation using Recovery Console". To get my files on the hard drive, so Yes I am in a Recovery Console and can see the commands listed in the Microsoft TIP307654. I can't execute the sfc command. Regards Alex |

Hi Alex,
Can you burn your files to disk, or transfer to a USB Flash Drive? If so, please do this now, just in case we can't bring this back to working order. I would feel bad forever if you lost it all and it could have been prevented. tea -------------------- |

Hi TeaCup,
I also did some research and it appears the SFC can't be executed in a Recovery Console. I did see FIXMBR & FIXBOOT Commands listed, but didn't believe it was a Master Boot Record issue as it does start to load OS from C:\ Partition, but at some stage tries to execute the Winlogon.exe file from a D:\WINDOWS\System32\Winlogon.exe. which does not exist. Either way I'd be happy for you to perform some of your magic if you have time. I have succesfully recovered 95% of all my Data. I purchased a External 2.5 Inch SATA/USB Case and a new 100GB Sata Hard Drive. I rebuilt Win XP on the new Drive and as many applications that I still had on CD's. Then I Transfered over the important Documents while the failed HDD was setup as an External Drive via USB Port. Like I said I can get to all the files, just can't get WinXP to boot. If you can be bothered, as it still puzzles me as to what went wrong with the original drive and I havn't changes its contents as yet. Its quite simple to remove from External Case and re install back into Thinkpad for further debugging. Regards Alex |
