It started doing it 2 nights ago. Here's what came up.

When the computer rebooted I would get an error while the desktop is loading.

"this program (explorer) has preformed an illegal operation and will be shut down" None of the desktop icon will load. If I close the warning I lose access to the start bar. When I click on details I get" Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module SHELL32.dll at 0187:66869ad4.

Registers:

KAX=00439a24 CS=0187 KIP=66869ad4 EFLGS=00010246

KBX=00015e3 SS=018f ESP=0059dea8 KBP=0059dec0

ECX=00439b6d DS=018f ESI=00439b65 FS=227f

KDX=00003535 KS=018f EDI=0043d0a2 GS=24e6

It would not let me into Safe Mode without the same problem occuring.

Now here's the curious part I shut it down for a day planning on working on it the next night. When I booted it up everything came up normal. The virus scans aren't picking anything abnormal so I'm not sure what to think at this point.

Thanks for your assistance. I already had Spybot with Tea timer enabled, Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and Ad-Aware SE installed on the computer at the time that the Trojan was acquired.

I use Window Washer to clean the temp files regularly.

Spybot has again picked up the coolwwwsearch.feat2installer. This is the 2nd time. The first time it was "fixed" using Spybot.

I'll certainly download the other 3 suggestions that you made.

Thanks again.

Ran a number of scans tonight to check for anything going on. Spybot has again come up with the windows.activedesktop as well as coolwwwsearch.feat2installer.

What's this latter one that was picked up.

January 2, 2006

Thanks, is there anything I can do about the recurring windows'activedesktop that Spybot keeps picking up.

January 2, 2006

Looks like it did get the browsela.dll. The one that Microsoft antispyware is now blocking is browseui.dll. There are two others in the same file; browselc.dll and browser.dll. Neither of these two have been "caught" but the Microsoft antispyware.

The windows.activedesktop keeps returning and was found by spybot in:

Windows.ActiveDesktop: User settings (Registry change, nothing done)

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-567416861-3535958025-259666730-1008\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop\NoHTMLWallPaper!=W=1

January 2, 2006

As some additional info:

Pest Patrol picked up: Trojan.win32.dialer.ay

and

Spybot keeps picking up: windows.activedesktop

January 1, 2006

1. Make sure your PC is set to show all hidden files and folders go here for instructions on how to do this. http://pchowtos.co.uk/index.php?page=tutor...tion=view&id=34
2. Boot into safemode to do this keep tapping F8 on your keyboard while your PC is starting up you will get a menu select safemode.
