384385 2005-08-29 01:29:00 I keep getting two PopUps. The dialagoue box is entitled '16 Bit MS Dos Subsystem' and tells me the NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

Reference has been made to Windows/System 32/ WINCTR~1.exe.

Is it safe to just delete this file? I have found WINCTR 16, 32, and 64 on my system and it appears these files were either or installed or modified last night.

I have carried out all scans, AdAware, Spybot, CCleaner and Norton.

Make a folder called HJT.

Unzip this file www.merijn.org into this folder run, scan and copy/paste the log here. We'll see if anything shows in the log.

384387 2005-08-29 03:11:00 Thanks, I am even having trouble doing what u suggest. I am not very computer literate at all.

Would u recommend No Adware ver 3. It tells me I have 14 infected files rated severe or dangerous, but of course there is a subscription charge to ficx the probs. Have downloaded and rumn latest versions of CCleaner, Adware, and Spybot without success.

Now thinking of just deleting the files WINCTR 16 WINCTR 32 ans WINCTR 64
