Hey guys,
This is my first post on this forum. I found this forum while looking for help with my problem with a tricky program that keeps putting itself in my AppInit_DLLs registry key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. The appinit_dlls points to a "XMwrap32.dll", googling it I find nothing! I am using Windows XP Home and running Adaware and hijackthis. Adaware says my system is clean, and HJT shows this problem. Here is what I have done:
1. Updated Adware and Ran it, said system is clean.
2. Ran HJT, shows this DLL, I "fix" it, restart, and it is still there.
1. Everytime I try to delete it in regedit, it re appears.
2. I restarted in safe mode and applied a registry patch (.reg file) that resets the Appinit_dlls key.
Obviosuly the .dll is loaded by windows and keeps replacing itself in the registry key. How can I get rid of this, not knowing what it is? Is there a way to remove this reg key in DOS or something? confused.gif
Thanks!
Justin
