Found alot of posts about this issue but most are running XP. Tried some of the fixes but so far no luck in getting rid of it. I did finally get rid of the registry entries that seem to allow it to install & Norton AV is quarantining it as a Download.trojan virus. Now I still get an rundll error each time I open an explorer window. Will be working on trying to locate the cause of this & will post results. Seems too many are having this problem with no sure fix yet.

Hello ceb and Welcome to TSF

Please follow these instructions:

Download / Install / Update / and Run:
Adaware SE check for any updates before running it.
Get the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. You can download it at this SITE
To run this tool, install to the hard drive, then open Ad-aware->Add-ons and select VX2 Cleaner. Then click Run Tool and OK to start it. If it's clean, it will say Status System Clean. Otherwise, you will have to click on the Clean button to remove the VX2 infection.

Download and install Spybot S&D . Run Spybot and click on the 'Search for Updates' button. Install any updates that are available. Next click on the 'Check for Problems' button. Let it run the scan. If it finds something, check all those in RED and hit the Fix Selected Problems button. Exit Spybot. If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the Spybot DSO Exploit Fix and install it over the current Spybot installation.

Scan your pc with Housecall. Its a free online scanner. Be sure to put a check the box beside AutoClean

Also

Download and install: HiJackThis 1.99.1 .

(Always create a Folder for HiJackThis anywhere but your Temp/Temporary Internet Folders or Desktop. A good place to make a folder would be in My Documents, as this is where it will save the backup files needed if there's a problem.)

Then doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Do A System Scan And Save Log". Make sure all Windows and Browsers are closed.
When the scan is finished, best to save your text file in the same folder as where you put HiJackthis.

Create a New Thread in HiJackThisLog Help Forum and Copy/Paste the info from your saved Hijackthis log file into your new topic.
A Moderator/ Security Team Expert will give you instrucitons.
Please also include the programs you used so they do not instruct you to use them again.
