Ready to Lock and Load

[mareze2]

Ok guys (and or gals), I have produced the needed logs to get rid of this cursed problem:

The application or DLL c:\windows\system 32\luneap.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette

I get this message before every executable file runs. Needles to say its a pain in the...well you know. Again I appreciate any help I can get to remove this problem. If you're ever in New Orleans let me know, drinks on me!

Thanks...

Could you please just double check the spelling of the error message you provided as a quick search on google for the filename 'luneap.dll' gives zero results...?? Strange...

And have you checked to see the if file mentioned in the error message actually exists?

If you look at the below line from his HijackThis log you will see luneap.dll.

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL,luneap.dll,gexixj.dll,C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL

trojan downloader malware often randomly generates names for the dlls it installs.

Yes, that is the exact spelling. I too searched for this file on google and found nothing. I also thought that strange.

HJT found it. Should I delete this? If so, How?

If this file name was created by a virus, any ideas on zapping it?

I feel better knowing experts are on the job here!

No point deleting it, it will most likely come back. If I was you I'd hold on for professional help to post back to you here.

Just hold on before deleting anything and let one of the specialist have a good look at your logs and then give you guidance.
