I can't access my system/run32dll.exe file... How can I get in XP service pack 3?

In my view, a win32:funweb - K [smaller] may have damaged my sys/run32dll.exe file.  How should I do?  I removed the virus, but still cannot access my control panel.  Help, please.

When you try to open a control panel applet, you see a message like this:

Control Panel
Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

If the file is actually missing, it was probably quarantined (actually deleted) by some program antivirus or antimalware you use.

You might want to reconsider some anti-virus or anti-malware software, you use and whether or not they are effective to protect your system.

You can look in the c:\windows\system32 folder and see if the file is actually missing or not, but you should replace it somehow.

I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

c:\Windows\System32
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called rundll32 when the name of the file should really be called rundll32.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

I would follow with this:

No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Hi Daniellohyuancheng,

    ·         What do you mean by 'new updates'?

    ·         What exactly are you trying to do?

    If you want the updates released after Service Pack, then you cannot install them until you install the Service Pack.

    I suggest you to install the Service Pack, which is a package of all the updates.

  • How can I get Windows XP Service Pack 3 for a computer?

    When I google Windows XP Service Pack 3 it gives me that several computers on a network, but I only need one for a single computer. Thanks for any response.

    Download this file and to ignore warnings on the web page about it being for several computer or network use:

    It will install correctly on a single PC.  Also note that the other answering your question is incorrect - answering machine apparently does not realize that the SP3 must be installed before the Windows updates will work, and he gave you the version SP3 which without a doubt, you do not install as that one is for developers or people who need to debug Windows debug/checked.

    I bought a new diagnosis program and quarantined the virus once it has been identified. I tried to remove the virus in several ways, but it comes back.

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • "WifiSvc.exe.mdmp" How do I get rid of this?

    Original title: Windows xp pro problems

    WifiSvc.exe.mdmp how do I get rid of this?

    First of all, Microsoft hired 'expert' technical support engineer is false.

    The WifiSvc is not "an essential component of the windows operating" and has nothing to do with the Windows operating system - unless you're a committed Microsoft 'expert' and Bing search (it's what they do when they have no idea of what to do about a problem) and just after a sentence or two from the www.fixexeproblems.com web site where every executable file seems to be an essential component of the operating system windows - same jose.exe.   These people just want your money.

    The WifiSvc is a component of some NETGEAR hardware and software you have installed on your unspecified brand system and model. Looks like your crashes for some reason any.

    If you look in the NETGEAR support forums, you will find other people with similar problems and ideas that can help you or you can register in their forums where experts hang out and post a new message and when you get it figured out, I hope it don't forget to come back here and tell us what you did to remedy.

    Is it due to malware? How to convert these files to their form of moose?

    Hi Raffey Hassan,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You have security software installed on your computer?

    Changed file .exe file names, the reason might be that the computer is infected from virus or malware.

    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    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.
