Startup

[LilAznAccommodator]

Hmm after I formmated my computer because of strange issues. . . I get one single little thing that bugs me whenever I boot up I recieve this:

Title: Caution
Message: You are attempting to open a file of type 'Application Extension' (.dll)


These files are used by the operating system and by various programs. Editing or modifying them could damage your system.

If you still want to open the file, click Open With, otherwise, click Cancel

And than, there are the choices, Open With... / Cancel


Not really sure what is casuing it to have that message since I check what programs boot up on start-up and theyy don't seem to really be the cause. . .

Anyone happen to have any ideas?

Start -> Run -> MSCONFIG -> Startup -> And uncheck anything that looks suspecious.

Hijackthis should be moved inside it's own folder. It makes backup copies that will be stored there. You can leave it on the desktop but make a new folder for it like ...Desktop\HJT\HijackThis.exe


Close all browsers and open windows, run hijackthis, check the following and click fix:


F0 - system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe systemdll.dll
F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe systemdll.dll


If needed change your settings to show hidden files and folders
This file does not show a path, so run a search and delete if you find it: systemdll.dll


There is a newer version of hijackthis.
If your problem persists, download it, reboot and post a new log.

Download from one of these locations:
