| 194147 | 2003-11-23 04:50:00 | I just did a virus scan but that didn't indicate anything | veterannz (960) | ||
| 194148 | 2003-11-23 05:28:00 | Does your anti virus have the latest virus definitions installed? | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 194149 | 2003-11-23 07:01:00 | In the Start up the command line says %systemroot%\system32]dumprep o -k while the location says hklm\sofftwar\MSoft\windows\currentversion\run. when I go to the registry I read KernelFault Check type Reg_Expand_sz data %system root%\systm32....... etc etc as above. My Norton virus definitions are current and I used Trend housecall and after a scan with both nothing is detected. I went looking in the registry as advised by Symantic for MsMon32=MsMon32exe but there is no sign of it. On top of this my PC is going well. When you refer to a reinstall do you mean install over the top or what... my OS is XP home |

| 194151 | 2003-11-23 09:09:00 | I have just checked this at Pacs-Portal (www.pacs-portal.co.uk) and it appears to be legitimate in your case. It says: dumprep 0 -k or dumprep 0 -u Used in connection with memory dumps - you can disable these by - right clicking on My Computer, selecting Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on the Settings button in 'Startup and Recovery'. In the bottom pane - under 'Write debugging information' - click on the down arrow and then select 'None' - OK your way out. As you can see it is not a necessary application so you can disable it. |

| 194152 | 2003-11-23 09:19:00 | Just realised what this is actually related to. I thought you were concerned that you had the virus. Dumprep is a generic file (a memory dump resulting from an error, to allow debugging later). It has many many causes, of which one COULD BE a virus. Not because the cause WAS a virus. Ignore it, you are just boxing shadows really, the Google search gave you one possible explanation. You have taken that as the only explanation. |
