rookie with virus problem

[rookie47]

First I need to take care of this problem:
Windows cannot find C\WINDOWS\rundll32.exe

Seems I can't open anything without this message.

Any thoughts on this?

Do you have your ME install disk?

Yes ,,,

This is a copy/pasted guide and not mine so please read carefully and ask any questions if you are unclear on what to do.

Make sure your Windows CD-ROM's in the drive.
Go to Start/run, and type SFC.
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
Type rundll32.exe, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.
Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file’s location, which is probably in the WinME folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically D:\WinME), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.
Then, next to 'Save File In', enter, or browse to C:\Windows, and click OK. System File Checker looks for the file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been successfully extracted'.
That should put things right.

Just want to say thanks for all the help. I did a system restore and removed all the anti-virus stuff I had running. I ran the SuperAntiSpyware and everything is gone and the computer appears to be running quite normal.

I'm not getting the error message any longer regarding this file either:

rundll32.exe

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you took the system beck to a point before the error occurred.

Run an online scan to be sure all is well. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

This is a pretty long scan ,, I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks
