  Trying to 'remove hardware safely' (a USB flash or hard drive), I get the message "the device" USB 2.0 Flash Drive USB Device' cannot be stopped because a program is accessed again.

  This is often caused by the system restore as it tries to create restore points, make sure that the system restore is not enabled on removable disks, System Restore should only monitor the volume of Windows startup.

• Cannot remove uninstall couponbar programs

  I'm not able to remove CouponBar to uninstall programs.  When I click on uninstall/change, nothing happens.
  I got it since 09/01/11.  It does not show something Publisher version or size.
  When I search my computer for that, it does not show.  I already deleted all the sites of promo and coupon printers.
  What else can I do to remove it?

  I remember the malware by disabling access in Safe Mode on a computer infected a few years ago and I've never had a Safe Mode for rework... other that the computer still works well... old XP and next issue, I hope the owner just replaces it.

  Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

  Method 3: Try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the computer.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  a. click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .

  b. right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click run as administrator.

  c. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

I would like to enter an address in the browser and would be redirected to another site (i.e. random search, youtube, offer to purchase through my ISP)
  • Ordered to contact Microsoft indicating that it was a problem with internet Explorer.
  • Through a problem with Microsoft where they found a file (cngaudit.dll) that was bigger they said it might be that showed them that my computer has been infected. Tech also found cngaudit .dll (69) where it is said that it was a copy of the original file which showed that my computer has been infected.
  • Set up a time for another Member of the support team to call me on Sunday to help in the kidnapping.

  Tuesday:

  • After no calls Sunday or Monday, I contacted Microsoft with my # of cases and a second rep attempted to help the elimination.
  • Remote access and technology attempted to run the Scanner again enabled (has been blocked)
  • Attempted to run HiJackThis... was able to download, but not executed.

  • NMC found 2 infected files... C:\Program Files\Magic Encyclopedia\dvmwlkt.exe (Infected with Malware.ELBD) and C:\Program Files\Magic Encyclopedia\magic.exe (Infected with Malware.EENX) both of these files have been deleted
  • NMC also found C:\Users\Page\AppData\Local\Temp\~DFEDF2.tmp, but access has been denied and it could not be deleted.
  • McAffee is always installed at this time and all the minutes I get a pop-up indicating that 2 (located in the temporary file) Trojan horses has been blocked.
  • Called Microsoft a 3rd time and met with an another tech once again connected via remote access and "worked its magic" like others and recommended I have remove McAfee and reinstall because the alerts I receive are "fake".
  • Remove and reinstall to see that McAfee will not be updated or protect. Now the tech suggested that I contact my ISP for assistance because McAfee has been downloaded from their site and seems to be defective.
  • Contacted my ISP and was told to contact McAfee.
  • Contacted McAfee and told to contact Microsoft.

  Wednesday (2 a. .m):

  • Always at work, trying to get something to work. Attempted to run the cleaning (ERROR: the instruction at 0x00cb34ef referenced memory at 0 x 00000000) The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.)

  • A run ESET Online Scanner and found 2 objects (files win32)... cleaned and removed.

  Where am I today? I can't always run antivirus software and my computer is currently not protected... online security with networking Mode.

  Any suggestions?

  You cannot save your programs - a clean installation wipe everything from the hard drive.  Programs need to be reinstalled (they cannot be copied or saved) - and you probably wouldn't do anyway because there is a good chance that some of the infected files can reside in these same programs.  The ONLY way to avoid this is to get your hands on a real Windows Vista Installation disc, so we can attempt a repair system/upgrade where your programs will be preserved (and we don't know yet if that will completely solve the problem of infection but it probably will restore the functionality at least for a certain period of time).

  Sorry for the bad news, but that's just how it is.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.
