Is there anyway to stop web pages from opening shdoclc.dll?
when I visit forums or listen to music in windows media player I always get a warning that advertising sites are trying to open a site in my trusted sites list which is c:\windows\system32\shdoclc.dll
Ive put these in my restricted zone and put x in zone alarm privacy site list with no help.
everytime page refrshes I have to click no.
XPpro sp2 all updates, zone alarm pro
Thanks for any help

Hi Motomatt, welcome to Wilders.

From what I have just read you should be able to remove this by following the comprehensive steps found in General Cleaning (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=50662).

If these steps do not resolve your situation, you will need to download and run “Hijack This” found here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=12516) and post your log at one of the forums found at A-SAP (http://a-sap.org/). The two bigger forums for HijackThis log processing, (meaning they process more log threads each day than most others) are: SpywareInfo.com (http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.php) and CastleCops.com (http://castlecops.com/forums.html). Be sure to read their posting policy in the links at their log review forum sections prior to posting.

The steps mentioned in General Cleaning (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=50662) use software that ought to be part of your security, as an absolute minimum.

Once your system is clean, you may want to take a look here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=45284&page=1&pp=25) for further discussion on security and how to make your system that much stronger and here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=43117) for more.

This is what works really well for me, very simple to use and maintain. (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=62972)

Hope this helps...

Let us know how you go.

Cheers ;D
