Post Malware Windows and Program issue.. Possibly Dll. ??

Hello all..

Here is my story, I have recently encountered a bad case of malware , (vundo virtualmonde etc.) It was a bit of a pain in the rear to shake loose but I managed to get it done.... I used a few program tools called Hijack This, CCleaner , Runkey,VundoFix, AVG Antivirus,Spyware Blaster and Sppybot S-D.

I have now upgraded from IE6.5 to IE7. At that point i had some issues regarding JAVASCRIPT and FLASH. Wasnt able to view youtube and some other pages. Through another forum i somewhat resolved that issue.

Now offline , Windows isnt functionig properly , I double click some prog. and they dont open and some open and just show a blank dialog box just plain white screen with a drop file tab menu from the top that is no responsive..

Even things in control panel dont work.

I think that im myh effort to clean out malware and uninstalling flash java and installing new prog tools to clean out , I may have deleted or moved .some dll. files or processes and services have been disabled of deleted....

I am running a pretty old machine. XP SP3 Media Edition. 1 Gig Ram 1.7 intel centrino DELL. inspirion 6000

I tried to dload a XP SP3 Update from microsoft website but i cant open it it is in the form of .ISO. and i dont know where it shoulda been downloaded to or how to open it....

I am thinking that i took files from windows\syster folder or somthing like that....

i am semi computer savvy far from a genious.....

ps. i tried to use system restore as soon as the malware infected me , but none of my restore points were there....

Phew, that sounds pretty bad. OK, let's see...
An ISO file is normally (not always though!) a CD- or DVD-Image. (In the case of SP3, probably CD.) So, you'd have to burn it to a CD. (That doesn't mean "burn a CD with that file on it" but burn a CD from that image. Check this piece of freeware if you don't have the software to do so already.)
Of course, this could be problematic, if you can't open any programs on your computer any more. If you can't get it burnt on your computer, try doing so from some other system. (By the way, normally you'd just start Windows Update to get SP3...)

However, you should try getting Windows working again, before you attempt to update it. My suggestion would be to boot with the Windows CD and choose the repair option. (Not quite sure of the exact steps now, as it's been a while, but there's a repair option in there somewhere.)

If that doesn't work, a complete reinstall might be something you should consider. Your system seems to be in a pretty broken state.

Hello,

IMHO ISOrecorder is unsupported on Windows XP SP3 (although if some newer version is out then I dont know). And as the OP had said:
But there are many similar softwares that will fulfill the requirement. i.e. GOOGLE is your friend.

@a6a6: Follow as nepomuk had advised. It is the right path in this matter.


Hope this helps........
