I don't know what it is all about.  I thought it might be Flood.F virus and run scans to locate and remove this virus.  Nothing.  Dell could not help me, my ISP has been distraught.  Could you deal with this please?  Will this make my system to tank?  What are my options?  It's a gene at the present time, but I wanted to deal with any potential problems of expansion on the line.  Thank you

Hello Carrington0212,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

The SMSS.exe file is always located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. This is the Microsoft Windows Session Manager Subsystem.  If you find that there is an smss.exe located in another folder, then it is probably malware (viruses, spyware, Trojan or worm). Malware programs try to look like legitimate computer processes and the smss.exe trojan is one of them.  Go to start search and type smss.exe and look at the file that appears. If it is in the Windows\System32 folder, then it is not a virus or spyware.

You see problems with your computer or is the only error in the system event log?  When you encounter this error? Have you ever had this error before or is this the first time? What programs are open and running when you see this error? He appears in safe mode?

Please provide more information and we will try to help you.

Thank you

  • TaskHost.exe crash, repeating the dllhost.exe crashes (Win7 x 64 SP1)

    It has been that rampant in me for over a week. I login and immediately taskhost.exe accidents, then repeat accidents of dllhost.exe. The fault for both module is always esent.dll.

    Not to mention that repetitive crash dialogs, there are also other problems:
    -Windows Help does not work correctly. After opening, I repeatedly to shut the windows of error just so that he could respond and whatever whether in the search returns 0 results.
    -CHM files have the same problem of response as above and also will not show the embedded images or style sheets (like if it cannot access its own embedded files).
    -Internet Explorer won't display certain content, IE: YouTube videos, some .webm files.

    I tried a variety of things and had no chance to solve the basic problem.
    -J' did a full scan with MalwareBytes and Avast antivirus - no viruses and no malware.
    -J' tried to manually replace the (dllhost, esent) files to another Windows 7 system - no change.
    -J' tried SFC/scannow - no files don't need replacement - no change.
    -J' tried to start in safe mode - no change.
    -J' tried a "clean boot" - system running unbearably slow and no change.
    -J' tried to delete/uninstall 3rd party codecs - no change.
    -J' uninstalled and reinstalled IE11 (a chore in itself) - IE had disappeared, the accidents stopped, but after reinstalling it is back to crashing (and leaving aside other issues caused IE).

    The only thing that stops the constant error dialogs must remove dllhost.exe or esent.dll. Of course, none of these options is acceptable because it does not fix the other issues and other causes. And now I get a notification that my Windows think more that it is authentic, and when I tried to validate, the page threw a bunch of script errors me (perhaps because IE does not work correctly).

    My next step and the last resort is to reinstall Windows, unless someone here can help. Below is all the information I can think to provide at the moment, I look forward the responses and thanks for reading so far.

    Thank you
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,.

    Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Possible cause would be due to out-of-date video drivers, corrupted system files, viruses or malware, faulty RAM, infection etc..

    I suggest you follow these methods and check:

    Method 1: Run the hotfix:
    Windows Explorer crashes randomly in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Method 2: Follow the suggestions in this article:
    Explorer Windows stopped working

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-us

    Virus scan: while the Virus scan, data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    Clean boot: after a repair, be sure to put the computer to a normal startup mode.

    Update on site: note this upgrade on the spot takes the same amount of time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

    Follow the steps and let us know if this helps.  If the problem persists, please answer and we will be happy to help you.

    Hello Barouk,

    Run System File Check to fix the corrupted system files and then check how it works.

    See the link "How to use the file system tool Checker to troubleshoot system missing or damaged files on Windows Vista or Windows 7" to run the System File Check.

    Note: It can ask the Windows DVD difficulty and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

  • Windows 8 explorer.exe crash/restart of cycle - all solutions?

    I was stuck in the cycle of crash/restart explorer.exe since September now and I am curious to know if there are definitive solutions. A fix would be nice...

    Details
    I installed Windows 8 Pro x 64 September 18 (reliability monitor information). The first instance of this crash/restart cycle was September 24. Then, I tried to find out what happened on this day: there was an automatic installation of an update of definition for Windows Defender (KB2267602 (definition 1.137.336.0).) Looking at the previous day, the following are installed:
    • Google Drive
    • Update Google Helper
    • Microsoft Hardware USB keyboard
    • Microsoft Hardware USB mouse
    • Generic Non Plug-and-Play monitor
    • AccuWeather.AccuWeatherforWindows8
    • InvokeITLimited.TableClock
    According to the reliability monitor, the problem occurs about fifteen to twenty-five times a week. The level of reliability varies from 1 to 4. (I don't know what the vertical scale means that there is no label.)
    In Event Viewer, this is a typical mistake:
    The failing application name: explorer.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16433, time stamp: 0 x 50763312
    The failed module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.2.9200.16420, time stamp: 0x505ab405
    Exception code: 0xc0000374
    Offset: 0x00000000000ea485
    ID of the process failed: 0 x 1248
    Start time of application vulnerabilities: 0x01cdd502eff7d1ec
    The failing application path: C:\Windows\explorer.exe
    The failed module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
    Report ID: a991c3a6-4169-11e2-be88-e06995f573cd
    Faulting full name of the package:
    ID of the failed package-parent application:
    Every mistake I checked has the same code exception and faults of program and modules. (Besides - I tried to click on the "Event log online help" link but get an error itself is in error, but it's a slow minor compared to the issue of cycle explorer.exe crash/reboot.)
    I just started going through applications Windows 8 and uninstall, in hope, where is the problem. (One interesting thing is that the issue almost never happens when I'm not using my computer - it occurs most often when I save a file in a program (it is often with Photoshop Elements, but this is not the only program that seems to induce the cycle crash/restart).) At least the file I save is not damaged...
    Information System
    Windows 8 Pro
    Processor: Intel Core I7-3960 X
    RAM: 32 GB
    System type: 64-bit OS
    Motherboard: Intel DX79SI
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
    Paving work my OS ("Refresh") is not really a solution (solving a problem by clearing, it is not a fix - it is a hope).
    Just for fun, I ran scf - he said he couldn't find any errors ("Windows Resource Protection not found any breach of integrity.").
    Thanks for reading in a lengthy post.

    You are welcome.

  • GuestCustUtil.exe crashes on Windows XP

    Hello

    I hope I'm in the right place here, but if not, please could someone redirect me to the right place?

    We have been installing vCenter 5.1 and recently updated to update 1. Since then, comments on Windows XP customization fails with the Guestcustutil.exe crashing on instantly. Newspapers do not say a thing to use and the guestcust.log is not yet complete because of the application crashing. The created dump file States it has an incorrect parameter passed and when looking at the parameters passed to the EXE, the command line looks like this:

    C:\Windows\Temp\vmw7.tmp\guestcustutil.exe customize - sealparam "- quiet - mini - reseal - reboot.

    Manually by running the same command causes the same result.

    Since I was Googling my broad back to this topic, I haven't found something for vCenter 2.5 where the guestcustutil.exe had to be replaced. Would it be something similar here?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    For those interested, I finally found the solution to the question. We use a registry key for the file system on startup to automatic control:

    Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager and the BootExecutevalue. With this removed, the system can be customized very well.

  • My Applet blocking java.exe Crash

    Okay, I don't know why, but on some computers is my applet make java.exe crash. When I attach a debugger to the java.exe when it crashes, I see an "Access Violation" error The strangest part is that, if a computer will crash and another the same computer with the exact same setup custom. The crash comes the time that starts the applet.

    Now, I did everything that I could to understand this. I have installed uninstalled and reinstalled java. I ran RAM, hard drive, processor, ect test all reports with no problem. I have disabled antivirus and uninstall and reinstall it again. I installed older versions of java. I resigned from my jar file, created a new key, and then resigned. Virtually the only thing that I did not and is not a viable solution is to reformat/replace computers. So I left thinking it could be something in the applet that is the cause.

    It might be within the parameters of the cmdlet, but I doubt it.
    FP of Landau is about 5000 characters
    VerfyType Landau is long about 1 character
    Arg1 Landau is a maximum of 11 characters
    Arg2 Landau is a maximum of 11 characters

    This applet is designed to interact with a program on the computer that connects to a variety of fingerprint scanners that we use and passes the internal site information form to the scanner and vice versa. As it begins just a rear plug of the loop. For taken back loop, I tired 127.0.0.1 and localhost which always give the same result.

    This is the applet. It's very simple.

    You can try to move the code from Applet.init () at Applet.start (), see what happens.
    Also check what happens if fp is not as long.

  • After a crash of the system Windows, Thunderbird displays only about half of my gmail folders (labels).

    In my email account, I use a number of folders to organize my e-mail messages. After a crash of the system Windows, Thunderbird restarted, but now I see about half of my files and cannot access a large number of messages filed away. They always appear when I use my browser to access the gmail account, so the labels are still there. How can I repair damaged files thunderbird/arrangements? I use the current version (31.4.0)

    AHA! It already showed that I have subscribed to all of the folders, visible and missing, but after a combination of clicks (not sure what sequence of refreshment and subscribe and OK), they are all back.

    Thank you! Very useful.

  • The installation of Service Pack 3 for XP, I get an internal error that smss.exe is running and close all other applications. All applications are closed. Anyone else seen this error?

    Is it safe to run an online scan to see if the smss.exe is a virus?  or do I remove smss.exe?  or is there a workaround?

    I think that a 'wipe & reload"would be the most effective way to restore your computer to a fully functional State and without infection, Smitz.

  • vssvc.exe crashes

    We have developed a tool that ensures consistency of Application applications for a CDP (continuous Data Protection). So as part of the solution, we wrote our own supplier of software of a VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service software provider). This tool has the ability to use Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider or our own Software Shadow Copy Provider (not both at the same time, only one provider at a time).

    The problem is vssvc.exe crashes with the following error message immediately after execution of the snapshot. This accident happens even if we use the default Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider software also.

    amazingly if I uninstall my software provider then vssvc.exe does not crash. So please enlighten me where I'am wrong.

  • Explorer.exe crashes by clicking the context menu items

    Hi guys,.

    I have XP Professional SP3 and when I right click on a file and select a voice as 'open' or 'open with' from the context menu, explorer.exe crashes...

    The description of the error event is (in Italian):

    "Application che ha provocato error explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.5512, modulo che ha provocato error unknown, version 0.0.0.0, address error 0 x 00000000."

    By further information, using the guide in linea e supporto tecnico all' address http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. »

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    I'm sorry that I can't read your beautiful Italian, but problems with a right-click are most often caused by a third-party software that inserts entries in the context menu. You can fix the latter with ShellExView free utility.
