I have a big problem????

[striker]

On my comp there is this window that keeps popping up.

Mcshield.exe - Application Error

and it says that the exception unknown software exception (0xe0070001) occurred in the application at location 0x7c81eb33. and when click ok or cancel it restarts my comp. I evan used my ad-aware and spybot and it dosen't take it away. Do I have a virus, and how do I fix this problem?

[striker]

what is a HJT?

HiJackThis, sorry, thought you knew what it was, download it from here: http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geuovaT...**http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html, save it 2 your Desktop, double-click it on your Desktop, go through the Setup, click on the 1st option, Run a Full System SCan? something like that, the 1st option, a log of the scan will pop-up in Notepad when it's done, copy/paste it in here.

 

[striker]

I can't copy/paste it?

 

[jp198780]

did it make a log?

 

[striker]

I got it.

[jp198780]

alright, im not good with HJT logs, but Buzz1927 (something like that ia), soo im out, he should get 2 this tommorrow, if not bump it.

 

[striker]

thanks

 

[jp198780]

no problem.

 

[way2evil]

that looks fairly clean to me but take this advice..

GET RID OF MCAFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEND IT TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GET ZONEALARM ITS THE BEST THING YOULL EVER DO

 

[Buzz1927]

Hit Start >Run, type services.msc.
Scroll down until you find the service McShield, and double-click on it.
Hit "Stop" and change the "Startup Type" to "Disabled".
Hit "Apply", then "Ok".

Run Hijackthis and select "Do a system scan only", place a check by the following entries.

O20 - Winlogon Notify: comack - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\comack.dll

Close all open windows and browsers, and hit "Fix Checked".

Delete these files.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Network Associates\McShield\Mcshield.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\comack.dll

Then reboot and post a new Hijackthis log, and say how things are now.

 

[striker]

Ok I did the "Fix Checked" on that O20 - Winlogon Notify: comack - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\comack.dll. But now it put it in a folder labled backups and I can't find those two files you told me to delete. here is the new HJT. What I do now?

[Buzz1927]

Hijackthis makes backups in case you need to put them back, the log looks good, how's things now?

 

[striker]

It's great now. Thanks a lot, but what should I do with the backups?

 

[Buzz1927]

Delete them if you like, they're harmless.

 

[striker]

how can learn to read those logs and know witch ones are harmful?
