Cause: Trojan or Virus. Unsure. Most likely contracted from an infected webpage/website.
I've never experienced anything like this before. There was no BSOD but this is so severe, I had to turn to the power off and am too scared to switch on computer.
Effect:
1. web browser ([b]IE[/b], version ?) couldn't function, except load homepage (which I have always set to Google). Error message:
[b]Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime error
C:\program files\internet explorer\IEXPLORER.EXE
R6025
-pure virtual function call[/b]
2.I [b]tried to open Ewido[/b]. Error message:
[b]Not enough quota is available to process this command.[/b]
3.Tried to open HijackThis but [b]could not access hard-drive[/b].Error message:
[b]Not enough quota is available to process this command.[/b]
4.Tried again to [b]open Ewido via shortcut[/b]. Error message:
[b]This no longer exists.[/b] It might have been renamed, moved or deleted. Would you like to remove from list? (I pressed No)
5.Tried again to [b]open Ewido[/b]. Error message:
[b]Application failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d). [/b] Click to terminate application.
6.Tried to [b]open Ewido[/b] again. Error message:
[b]SecuritySuite.exe -Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\windows\system32\PSAPI.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.[/b]
7.[b]Opened Spybot[/b], forced to download updates before scanning. Then [b]couldn't find anything [/b] after scanning for only few seconds (unusual- scans always take over 5mins). Error message:
[b]C:\windows\system32\SHDOCVW.DLL is not a windows image. Check this against your diskette.[/b]
8.Pressed scan button in [b]Spybot[/b] to scan again but no response. Then when I tried to close it, Spybot started scanning [b](delayed response?). [/b] I kept [b]trying to close Spybot[/b] because I thought it wouldn't work anyway. Then I [b]tried to shut down computer but no response so I turned the power off[/b]. Computer is still off.
Thank you very much for reading this post. I'm sorry it was long, but since I don't know alot I put all the information I had. Help would be deeply appreciated.
