    Hi, I'm having a problem installing updates for WIN XP. Everythime win xp downloads updates and I try to install them, the update wizard initializes, then without warning immiediatly reboots the system, so I cant install the updates. I just started experiancing the problem recently. maybe someone can tell me whats going on by reading my "save dump" file.


    my log file:

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xb5dab532, 0xb4690a28, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini121506-03.dmp.

    Hmmmm....doubt this has much to do with ram.

    The best way to troubleshoot this is to follow my debugging procedures in the FAQ forum:

    Debug output shows:

    Probably caused by : system32:lzx32.sys ( lzx32+2532 )

    -snip-

















    Granted, its a lot of crap you don't need to know, but the likely culprit, which I bolded, raises an alarm.

    Notice the : in system32:lzx32.sys? This is indicates its an alternate data stream. The file is "hiding" behind something else, in a different portion of the filesystem.

    To quote a small portion of the text:


    Sounds to me like you have a virus problem, and its not going to be a walk in the park to remove.

    I recevied some tips in a PM, give them a shot, and if they don't work, I will transfer your post to the malware forum.

    Download and install AVG Anti-Rootkit.
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/AVG_Anti-Rootkit_d5249.html

    Have it fix the C:\WINDOWS\system32:lzx32.sys hidden driver.

    Reboot, and remove the file from your system manually, if it is there. It would be located in C:\WINDOWS\system32.

    Good luck.

    That file is part of a Vundo infection. You should start a thread in the Malware Removal Forum and we will get you fixed right up.

    BitDefender only shows part of the infection. Complete the steps in the Read Me first and post the needed logs.

    Please follow the steps below:

    - 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.
    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:

    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
