"winnie The Pooh"

[gotcha]

Hi to you all, and thank you for answering.
I am using Windows XP Prof

First I have used Spy Sweeper and it says all clear, so does Ad-aware 6, so does Spybot Search,
However Norton Antivirus 2004 Prof shows that I have "winsrm.32 dll" in my system 32 and says "delete," I say OK and it says "Delete Failed"

Thank you, I opened that site, but being 76 years old on Sept 2nd. I am just too dumb to understand it!
Cheerio.

Try Going into Safe mode and deleting it manually.

[supersonic]

Or you can use delete doctor (http://theabsolute.net/sware/files/deletedr.exe) to delete it in several ways, such as DOS.

EDIT: URL fixed

Thank you SaYiaN . I have Windows XP Prof and I cannot get into safe mode. I have tried pressing F8 after rebooting and before windows opens, but it does not work.
If you are going to be nice enough to show me how to get into safe mode. Then perhaps you might also show me what to do when I get there?
Thank you and Cheerio

u gotta get the timing right...just keep pressing f8 over nd over repeatedly until it works. if it doesn't then, do u have a usb keyboard?

once ur in safemode u browse to C:\windows\system32\ and find that file (winsrm32.dll) and delete it.

lol nice tip ROSSCO_2004 :P
Look at the "NUMLOCK" and the two lights beside it (caps/scroll lock), when they all flash simultaneously, then press F8, do it quickly though.

Then click "Find Handle" button

you know where i live

Yeah, for some reason, safe mode doesn't work right for me, either. A tip: go to start > Run > msconfig. Then, once there, select the BOOT.INI tab, and place a check in the /SAFEMODE box. Restart your computer, and viola! Just remember to go back, and uncheck this box when you want to boot in normal mode.

For future reference, remember that Spy Sweeper, Ad-Aware and Spybot are spyware/adware finders/removers whereas NAV2004 is an anti-virus product.

The spyware products aren't looking for viruses and that's why they report all clear.

[gotcha]

Yes it's fixed!
Now how do I thank you all, well if ever you come to Victoria,BC.Canada. PM me and we can meet somewhere for coffee and whatever and my wife will pay!
Now to thank you, well JUST THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
I thank you for saying keep tapping F8 while booting up, it worked, but trying to find files in safe mode was hopeless for me. It showed 3 different safe modes and when I did each one, nothing would scroll, or even move.
http://www.sniip3r.com/programs/cleanerxp.zip would not work for me.
Process Explorer would not D/L for me.
But DrDelett showed me where the file was and it had changed it's name to install.cab I deleted it, scanned Norton again and winsrm.32dll had gone!
Cheerio.

Norton sometimes detects suspicious nuisance files that aren&#39;t necessarily viruses. The same thing just happened to me when I was repairing my mother-in-law&#39;s notebook. It issued a warning about BridgeX.dll, but could not delete it. But then Ad-Aware took care of it.
