    ...don't know if this is the right place but here goes - I searched for a similar prob but didn't see a solution.

    Sygate firewall persists in telling me that Win32 Kernel core (WiN32.dll) is trying to access the internet. I've blocked it and instructed the Sygate pop-up to not show me again, but it's determined to take whatever sanity I have left - it's popped up twice in the course of writing this. :banghead

    So - is Win32 Kernel core a bad thing, and if so, how do I kill it? I've read conflicting reports. Should I ignore it?

    OS: Windows ME w/AVG/Sygate/AdAware/Spybot/

    Thanks.

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please follow 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:
    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!
