691251 2008-07-22 22:57:00 Hey,

Sorry for any english errors, but i'm gonna do my best

My problem is that my explorer crashes everytime I close folders (any types of folders). Here's the error message:
img174.imageshack.us

I went to "Administrative Tools - Event Viewer" too and i clicked in the red cross. It says this:

Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.5512, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x013616d3.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at go.Microsoft*.com


This started happening since I installed Rapidown, I have read a lot of threads about this problem, and now I know that Rapidown is a dangerous program. I've tried many things: clean registry errors and cookies, scan for virus and spyware, I also downloaded a file (that i think it came with spyware too) to fix shells or something...

Anyway, i'm sick of this problem and i really need help here.

I'll wait for answers.

Scan it with something like this (www.malwarebytes.org)

If you know something is dangerous or installs spyware, dont install it !

Ok, thanks, I'm doing a scan right now with the Malwarebytes, it can take long . . .

When the scan finish, i'm going to post the HiJackThis log here .

By the way, the first time I run Malwarebytes to update, it shown an error saying "Error loading database . Line: #10222 . " and everytime i ran the program it said the same thing .

I had to search for an answer to solve the problem, and i found it, but i still can't update the program . I'm only saying this cause it was a little strange .

691255 2008-07-23 01:24:00 Ok, thanks for all, I'm gonna do all that things you said.

Tomorrow i'll put here the results of the Malwarebytes and Trojan Remover scans and the HiJackThis log too, because today I have no more time left.

One more thing before I go, it's necessary to do the scans in Safe mode?

No, if you can boot into normal windows you can scan

691257 2008-07-23 09:31:00 Hi again .

I did a scan with Kaspersky AV during the night, and it didn't detected anything . Then i scanned with Trojan Remover and didn't detected anything too, scanned with the Malwarebytes and it detected a trojan in a file, I deleted, and from quarantine too .

By the way, the infected file was:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{83489493-9DEE-4402-8723-648BF0E8A0C8}\RP885\A0392566 . exe (Trojan . Downloader) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully .


Then, I restarted pc and when started, the FastScan of Trojan Remover appeared and it said that there were problems with some registry shells, and I fixed them, like the program recommended .

After all this, the error keeps appearing (like I said in the beggining, appears everytime I close any type of folder) :help:

Here's the 2 messages of the problem:

691258 2008-07-23 09:49:00 Disable system restore (right mouse / properties) on my computer on the desktop. System restore tab.

Open my computer / go to tools / folder options / view.

Untick hide protected operating system files. Then OK.

If this is XP Pro, right mouse on the System Volume Information folder / security tab / add. Type in the name that appears in the menu (when you click on start). Then check names. If you put it in right, this will complete it. The click on OK, OK.

Then you should be able to go into the System Volume Information folder.

Once you get into the above folder, Delete everything in it. (Dont delete the folder itself though).

Then:

Tick these then tick fix checked

Close browsers

Then reboot. Then enable system restore again

Did you tick everything under utilities in trojan remover as well?

Also after you reboot, open my computer, highlight c, then right mouse / scan with trojan remover (did you update it as well)??

691259 2008-07-23 10:08:00 Speedy Gonzales, when I Untick "hide protected operating system files", the folder "System Volume Information folder" doesn't appear.

This is windows XP Pro

691260 2008-07-23 10:14:00 I've done a search in the pc for that folder, and I found it, but when I right-click on the folder, there's no security tab.

Here's the printscreen:

P.S. - The folder is empty.

I ticked all the utilities of Trojan Remover and I updated it as well.
