  • Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe.

    Original title: files missing error

    Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe. Everything started after I ran scan and scan deleted some files infected. However, I can use the system. Where and how to download the missing files? Or how the system does not deliver messages?

    Two of the three files are probably part of the malware infection and not the files infected. The third is probably the same details in this link:

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

I was told that I could find the file on another computer stick in my memory stick and reapply, only problem I have is I don't know where its located. I'm on windows XP.

    If you find it, go ahead and copy rundll32.exe in the c\windows\system32 of the system folder.

    Otherwise you need a windows disk to extend this fichier.* *.

    I have dd a search on my computer for the file "rundll32.exe" and he came in two different folders on my hard drive.  But it MUST be in c:\windows\system32 (file there lack of).  I found the file in the folder dllcache as shown above, then simply copied and pasted in the system32 folder.  And WALLAH!  Problem solved and control panel and all the rest works just fine now!  So simple!  I hope it works for you, the people who are still struggling with this problem!

  • I am running xp Pro 64-bit and get entered C:\WINDOWS\system32\ rundll.exe error: FQ10 what to do?

    I followed the instructions to load the OS disk, type expand C:i386\rundll.ex_ C:\windows\system32\rundll.exe, etc., but the error continues to appear.

    Looks like you had a meeting with the FBI MoneyPack (Ransomware) malicious software.  Fact that all sounds familiar (FBI, your PC is locked, you need to pay your fine, etc.).

    You must first perform some scanners from reputable and do what they can do, but sometimes leave you with a fake startup item that you must manually remove using something like Autoruns.

    No matter what you use for protection against malware, perform the following analyses for malware, then correct any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time):

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, restart, and then fix any problems.

    If you still receive the message, delete the element of persistent starting using Autoruns.

    Here's how:

    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information
    .  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply turn off (uncheck the entry), reboot, and if the problem is resolved and things work normally and everything works fine, then delete the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.

    Hello

    Rundll32 errors can be caused by malware.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  • windows\system32\Restore7.exe - runtime error

    My son has a laptop HP Compaq Presario CQ70-220OEM, OS Vista Home Basic (32-bit) with service pack 1.
    A couple of weeks he lit the machine - it would not start and he got the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    Unfortunately, it had not created recovery disks, we had to buy recovery discs of 'Privileged partner' HP - company named Best2Serve B.V. in the Netherlands.

    We tried to boot the laptop from the first disc of recovery - program seeks the partition, then load the recovery software, but after clicking the button continue, we get a run-time error: -.
    "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime error
    Program X:\windows\system32\RESTORE7.exe
    This application has requested execution to terminate in an unusual way.

    After clicking on OK, we get a second error: -.
    "The exception unknown software exception (0 x 40000015) occurred in the application at 0x00d2e851.

    No one knows what is the problem and the solution - would be really grateful for the help, thanks.

    If you cannot use the recovery process of reinstalling vista HP, contact HP.

    It's Recovery process HP, not Microsoft.

  • __And C://Windows/system32/Services.exe hacks C://Windows/system32/conhost.exe

    Record unauthorized access, after running Norton scan, I thought I have check the history would see what he had done recently
    and I noticed that
    C://Windows/system32/conhost.exe
    C://Windows/system32/services.exe
    Be the medium threat for "unauthorized access logged data.

    I was wondering what were these since the Conhost (which does not resemble a good name) appears more than once in the same thing.

    Is that a threat or not? I know that Norton detects a lot of things unnceisary and why it would just log the problem and not do something if it was a threat.

    Answers appreciated muchly

    * edit *.
    Im not sure if I did, it's clear there was no threat in the scan (other than cookies) not detected that came from the history of safety.

    Virus and malware usually do their best to hide behind innocent names. You would never find a virus with a name such as "virus.exe", for obvious reasons. So, it is quite reasonable to assume that 'conhost' does not relate to a con-job. As far as I know, it is called by the shell, and the "con" refers to the "Console".

    Let him go.
