405886 2005-11-20 16:46:00 Im having a horrible time getting windows XP to boot.

I can only boot to safe mode, disable all services and boot normally, then re-enable them so i have internet access. It seems to be something with the SVChost.exe file, and the network connections service.

405889 2005-11-20 20:58:00 Also download first, before cleaning up, LSPfix ( . snapfiles . com/get/lspfix . html" target="_blank">www . snapfiles . com) which will repair your Winsock problem .

Can I also recommend you have a cleanout of your caches as well . A safe and easy program to do this for you is Ccleaner ( . majorgeeks . com/download4191 . html" target="_blank">www . majorgeeks . com) . Use both the cleaner and issues buttons . Some Spyware and Trojans can re-infect while hiding within these caches .

405890 2005-11-20 21:05:00 What PCtek forgot to mention is, u turn off system restore, and boot into safe mode.

Then tick these, and tick fix checked. Then reboot.

405893 2005-11-20 22:44:00 er, installed via i386. the lspfix is done. working on ccleaner now and will get to the hijackthis next. the only problem with the mdms.exe is it keeps coming back, no matter what i do. blaster (9269)
405894 2005-11-20 22:59:00 from sophos antivirus site:......

Troj/Cimuz-C is a Trojan for the Windows platform.

The Trojan starts a proxy server allowing remote users to route HTTP traffic through the infected computer. The Trojan registers itself on several sites to report the availability of the listening proxy server.

When first run Troj/Cimuz-C copies itself to <System>\mdms.exe, creates the file <System>\winacpi.dll and also creates a registry entry to run mdms.exe on startup.
