Hi all!
First, I apologize for posting the same problem twice. I didn't want to go looking through all pages to find where my other topic is.
Second, I can't use System Restore.Third, I've done a bit of tweaking lately so I might have to get a new computer anyway, since it might stuff up my system.
And 4th, uninstalling IZArc did not help me with anything.
When I open a folder in Windows Exploder, I get an error exactly like this message:
The computer still works, but I can't open any folders, including My Docs, My Pics, and My Computer. I can't even backup documents to a USB due to this problem. SFC /SCANNOW didn't find any missing files. HOWEVER, today when I opened EXPLORER.EXE in Dependency Walker, it said that DWMAPI.DLL was missing. I deleted it because COMODO Firewall Pro kept crashing due to this file. SHLWAPI.DLL has a red icon next to it, so does MPR.DLL.
Dependency Walker also says this:
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.AND BEHOLD!! DWMAPI.DLL IS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNET EXPLOITER!! F##k that *censored*, IE crashes my system every time I need and use it. Internet Explorer sucks.
There's more...
Looking in the WINDOWS folder, there are two files called EXPLORER.EXE and EXPLORER_ORIGINAL.EXE. Oh god, don't tell me this is a virus...
What else have I done recently? Well...
I tried to unzip the Gweled game for GNOME. It was compressed in GZ format. That was before I found out that GNOME was for Linux, and most Linux users compress files in GZ format. That's when it all started. The file didn't have any viruses inside it, and it was only source code. No applications.
I installed the Royale Remixed theme and replaced the "turn off computer" dialog box so that it matches the theme.
But that's all I can remember doing.
I use Windows XP Home Edition with SP2.
Thank you.
