so far, my 2 options are:
1 -> format
2 -> remove harddrive, plug it into another computer (slave), delete dll, and then plug it back in

Perhaps
regsvr32 /u tntftqqf.dll
in the system32 directory, first???

bartonc thanks for all your help, but i'm just going to format (in the middle of it right now). I've been monitoring this dll and it makes the computer think that its iexplore.exe that is why my new 4 anti-virus programs don't detect it and why my dozen spyware programs don't detect it...oh well my computer is due for another cleaning anyways.
thanks again bartonc!
As long as your the Administrator of the machine I have a solution that always works.. The best way to remove a virus type DLL, EXE or Program Folder is deny yourself access to it, then reboot. Then you can take ownership and delete it.

Thank you for that. Would you care to give details on denying access and taking ownership, for those of us who have no practice doing so?

Thanks a lot friends....It really worked for me. I faced trouble because of the dll named pmnkkjg. I never felt hard debugging when compare to this crap. At last ur clue helped to delete that guy from system32. It camofulaged itself as THotKey.exe and popups came whenever I invoked IE.
regarding steps to revoke permission, juz rt click and go to security and deny the permissions and also click on advanced button in the security screen itself and override the parent permission. Then reboot ur machine and get back ur permissions and delete it. thats it.
Thanks again guys. I would like to kill the bastards who are all writing these programs to hang others machine. Instead they can try something constructive.

Hi guys
I have a time critical process, running on a worker thread. By "time

specific time frame. The time when the process starts is not especially
important, but it must be complete within a small number of seconds.
The operations I am performing do not take a long time (hundreds of
milliseconds), but as each part of the process is complete, my worker thread...

Hi,
I would like to start a new process and be able to read/write from/to

import subprocess as sp

p.stdin.write("hostname\n")
however, it doesn't seem to work. I think the cmd.exe is catching it.

Hi,
I am using COM interop to invoke MS word from my .net app. If word pops up a
dialog box, my thread obviously hangs until the dialog is answered.
Here's the problem: because the app is running on a server, there is nobody
there to answer the dialog, so I have another thread that calls Abort() on
the first thread in the event that the operation doesn't complete within a
certain amount of time.

Hi,
Considering code below. Will it make GC to actually collect. One application
creates new instances of a class from 3rd party assembly in a loop (it has
to). That class doesn't have .Dispose or any similar method. I want to make
sure GC keeps up with the loop. My reasoning if Thread.Sleep(1000) is
called; GC will take priority it do its work, right?
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

I am developing in VS2005, but I have some third-party DLL's that appear to

I am assuming the difference is that the DLL's were compiled for .NET 1.1.

Hi, I have two different applications running on 2003 both in two
different vitrual directories. One application runs on the .NET
framework 1.1 whilst the other runs on 2.0.
If I change the framework version (via IIS admin ASP.NET tab) for
either application (Initally the 2.0 app was recognised by IIS as 1.1)
does this force IIS to restart?
?? Any links to further reading would be good.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
