[Help With Wowfx.dll]

Hello:

My name is Rui da Silva and I thank you in advance for your help.

My operating system is windows XP and I am getting the popups on the exe. files due to the wowfx.dll Trojan.

I have followed all of your instructions and enclosed is the log file for highjackThis done with the hidden files as instructed.

I apologize but prior to accessing your website I had already deleted the following but I know that there are others.

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wowfx.dll

It was very annoying.

It is better now but it needs a proper cleaning.

Your help is very much appreciated and I will be waiting for your reply.

God Bless
