    Hi, yesterday I was running Firefox and it closed itself out. When I tried to run it again i got this error:

    "This application has failed to start because js3250.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

    I reinstalled it, and it launched right up. 5 minutes later it closes again, and the same error pops up when I try to run. I ran AntiVir PE, and it detected the TR/Crypt.PEC2X.Gen trojan. It removed it, but I still have the Firefox error. I also get popups in IE every couple of minutes.

    Hi and Welcome

    With the popups in IE, what would there names be or where do they link to or mention, as much info as possble helps.


    But also please run the below.


    Our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.




    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
