bak and copy over the ntoskrnl.exe, hal.dll, and bootvid.dll files to see if any of those are the problem- which just result in a 'file corrupt' message. I rename the original to '' (backing it up) and copy it from the Win XP 圆4 Pro disk I have. So, I assume kdcom.dll is corrupt, right? Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)/windows/sytem32/kdcom.dll Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)/windows/sytem32/hal.dll Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)/windows/sytem32/ntoskrnl.exe Rebooting the computer leads to a black screen before the splash screen and nothing further.Īttempting to boot in safe mode, I get three lines of text with the computer not progressing after kdcom.dll. (This is where the fun begins, and I kick myself for rebooting.) I go to update my antivirus software, which is telling me it can delete this virus during the next startup. So, I pull the ethernet cord from the back of the computer and I delete the infected file (something like s430432.dll?) quickly from C:\windows\system32\, but it replicates and comes back immediately.
Problems began when I was on google chrome, looking at facebook (can you see where this is going?) and while reading someone's note they'd posted, I get hit with a Win32:MalOb virus. To start, I am running a computer with Windows XP 圆4 edition on an AMD FX57 with 3GB ram, etc.
