Hi

Today I turned on my second laptop and ran mbam which found a trojan agent, 2 trojan vundo's and 13 adaware infections.


Since rebooting it I get this message continuously over and over again. It just keeps popping up over and over again.

Program.exe- Bad Image (These show different programmes.exe each time)

The Application of DLL C:\windows\system32\theuil.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.


I can't close it by task manager during boot up and it just keeps popping up everytime I close it.

Am I right in thinking that it is a virus?

I also did a system restore earlier before the other trojans/ adaware was found from mbam.

Update

Ok I updated my Superantispyware to a newer edition and ran this again. This time it found a Trojan.Agent/Gen-Nullo[micro]. Since moving it to my virus vault and rebooting it (twice) the bad image messages have stopped. I was expecting it to find another infection as I have had these trojans before and not had this problem.

Lets keep our fingers crossed that it was this and now it has been found and quarantined all will be fine and there will be no more pop ups!
