Hi, For the past 2-3 days, I am facing a wierd problem. When launching any program in Windows XP SP2 ( be it wither IE or Word or Excel), a COMMAND WINDOW Opens up and remains open till the application is shut down. Closing the Window also closes that application. I have Mcafee Anitvirus which is kept Current and I use SpyBot S&D for Adware and Malware removal. Here is the commands that appear in the Window and these are pretty much same for any application. :certgr >> LibMain: DLL_Process_Attach, hinstDLL=0 :certgr >> DLLRegisterServer called :certgr >> DLLRegisterServer: crypt32 found, installing cert hooks :certgr >> SetHooks called :certgr >> _IAT_HookAPI: lpszDllName=crypt32 :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: dwAPIHash=D05820FF :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpHookFunc=00FF4318 :certgr >> NB: single-thread decr in APIstatic buff used= :certgr >> GetAPINameByHash: PFXImportCertStore :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpOrigFunc addr found=77AEF748 :certgr >> _IAT_HookAPI: lpszDllName=crypt32 :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: dwAPIHash=E5EC3AE9 :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpHookFunc=00FF43DE :certgr >> NB: single-thread decr in APIstatic buff used= :certgr >> GetAPINameByHash: CertFindCertificateInStore :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpOrigFunc addr found=77A94F78 :certgr >> _IAT_HookAPI: lpszDllName=ntdll :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: dwAPIHash=9608A1C1 :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpHookFunc=00FF3AC4 :certgr >> NB: single-thread decr in APIstatic buff used= :certgr >> GetAPINameByHash: LdrGetProcedureAddress :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpOrigFunc addr found=00D229D8 :certgr >> _IAT_HookAPI: lpszDllName=ntdll :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: dwAPIHash=04589AC0 :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpHookFunc=00FF39A5 :certgr >> NB: single-thread decr in APIstatic buff used= :certgr >> GetAPINameByHash: LdrLoadDll :certgr >> IAT_HookAPI: lpOrigFunc addr found=07C9161CA :certgr >> DllRegisterServe: about to exit :certgr >> thrExportsCerts entered, waiting… :certgr >> thrExportsCerts wait finished, proceeding :certgr >> EnumCerts Called <sleep 6 sec> :certgr >> EnumCerts finished
