I have been trying to run HiJack This for quite some time now and all i get is an error message when i try to fix the marked objects. it has been working just fine until recently, i have been getting this error message:

An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: cmdFix_Click()
Error #75 - Path/File access error (32 items in results list)

Please email me at merijn@spywareinfo.com, reporting the following:
* What you were doing when the error occurred

Thanks for any help!

cmdFix_Click()
Looks like part of the program running HJT bummed out on a mouse action?? Anyhow the dude who wrote the app is just asking what went on to make the program crash so he/she/they/flock can fix it and thereby make the program better.

Sorry HJT's just confuse the 4ell out of me. I'm learning though... a bit!

You are running at outdated version, that will explain it. The current is 1.98.2. Download it from http://hjt.isecureit.co.uk and post a fresh log. Don't fix any objects till advised!

Thanks, i downloaded the new program and everything seems to b working fine. Here's a copy of the new log:

And you can now fix the marked objects? <-- Your original problem. Or id something else amiss?

Hello again,
Close all browser windows, restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following entries:

O2 - BHO: twaintecObj Class - {000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42} - C:\WINDOWS\twaintec.dll
O2 - BHO: Search404 Class - {53C330D6-A4AB-419B-B45D-FD4411C1FEF4} - C:\Program Files\404Search\404Search.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zdwcsshj] C:\WINDOWS\System32\opdhrjh.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [alchem] C:\WINDOWS\alchem.exe

The following are optional fixes:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
System tray access for Quick Time. Not needed and slows down startup

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. To disable "tkbell.exe" in the new version (1) Start RealOne Player (2) Tools -> Preferences (3) Automatic services in the Categories pane (4) Uncheck all options and then OK

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KernelFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k
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

Click Fix Checked

Then boot into Safe Mode and ensure that you are showing Hidden Files and Folders.

Delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\opdhrjh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\alchem.exe
C:\WINDOWS\twaintec.dll

Then reboot and post a fresh log

Delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\opdhrjh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\alchem.exe
C:\WINDOWS\twaintec.dll

what exactly does a memory dump do, and windows isnt allowing me to delete twaintec.dll or opdhrjh.exe either.

Are you deleting those files in Safe Mode like I said?

I'm not to sure what a memory dump is for, but that entry is unecessary. A memory dump is usually performed when you see a Blue Screen and your system makes a critical stop.

Agreed - a memory dump is what Windows does when it gets real scared, like it thinks it's dying.

'Will I dream?....parp!"

BTW - Anyone ever noticed that HAL and IBM are only one letter apart?

Sorry for carving up the thread :-/
