    Right heres the deal...

    I seem to have a virus embedded in IE some how.
    Im using Vista and AVG.
    The virus doesn't show up until i open IE as soon as i do AVG picks it up as a Win Cryptor32 whatever that is, and says its in my system32 folder.
    However when i go look for it its not there! its says its gaopdximnirtnx.dll.

    I tried googlein but to no avail. If i heal it it goes away and every time i open IE after that its not there however it prevents my updateing AVG or Defender and reckons the connection with the server has failed or im not connected to the internet which i obviously am cos im here!

    If i reboot my system sure enough its back! Ive searched my whole system for it and cant find it anywhere like i say it must be embedded in IE somehow cos thats the only time it shows up! I done a full system scan even with another anti virus and still nothing! The only way i got rid of it the last time was to re install vista.

    Now its come up on my laptop and really dont want to have to do the same with that if i can help it!

    Please guys i need help with this one many thanx in advance

    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
