Runtime error 9, Subscript out of range

I am getting the above error message everytime that I start or restart my computer. Any ideas about how to get rid of it. It seems that when it started, some webpages loaded much more slowly.

 

I also have started getting this error when XP starts - I did a through cleaning of spyware and still get the error - did you get an answer or solution?

 

Hi,

Are either of you using SpywareGuard and/or SpywareBlaster? (Please specify one or the other, or both - thanks!)

Best regards,

No, I am not. I am using GIANT Antispyware and Norton antivirus. I have done what I believe to be a good cleaning of the system. Defrag, temp files, Virus scan, spyware scan - but nothing has helped. In my case it seemed to have started after I uninstalled (using control panel) a program called Ringtone Convertor. I had used it before when I had Win98. I now have XP. The trial version does have adware but is supossed to remove it all when you uninstall. I have tried the support on the site but no avail. I removed it because it was not compatible with my new phone. Anyway, this is definately something that is trying to start when windows starts but I can not determine what it is. It is not something I put in the start menu and Ringtone convertor did not start up with windows start. On another tech page someone said it was a problem in the registry and although I am pretty PC savvy I do not mess with the registry unless I have someone that really knows what they are doing - so I am dead in the water there. It closes right away and does not seem to affect performance and I have not found any programs (yet) that are not functioning but it is irritating enough that I am ready to do a recover and be done with it! Thanks for replying Karen

 

Hey kwinkle and gcshaw,

Would you Please download the below item to a temp folder....uncompress the file....run the executable and copy\paste all the notepad info it displays into a new post here.

We will then determine what further course of action\recommendation to suggest.

Thanks SO much for helping! here is mine...

I think I see the problems - it is:

C:\documents and settings\karen winkle\local settings\temp\flsvTt.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\KARENW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\searchbarcash.exe

Right? But the Spyware remover and Norton said they deleted these so now what?

Exactly....among a couple more....which confirmed my suspicion. Unfortunately....Wilders no longer offers one-on-one system cleaning services....BUT....if you follow the below suggestions you stand a good chance of ridding yourself of this highjacker.

My suggestion is to follow one of the following:

1) GENERAL Virus and Trojan removal Instructions.

2)Visit one of the below sites and follow their Forum procedures for posting a HighJackThis log. The experts there will then advise you on what action to take.

How to remove spyware or a hijacker

Hijackthis - Spyware, Viruses, Worms, Trojans Oh My!

 

Try these too:

http://cleanup.stevengould.org/

 

Thank you I will - i posted my Hijack this report on one of the pages you suggested but have not received an answer yet - I will let you know - i can see the files in the report but i just do not know enough to feel confidente in deleteing them

Link: http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.php?showtopic=33750

 

Please be patient with which ever Forum you posted to. Those great folks out there are working their behinds off attempting to clean hundreds of PC's a day from infected users.

While it is not an exact science....it is no longer like the days of old where we simply suggested to a user change their Home page back to what they wanted. These days the scum bags of the world are almost making it so difficult that a re-format is the only choice.

Anyway....Good Luck and have patience....They will fix your problem

 

Oh i know and thank you! I always wonder about folks who sit around and create these kind of programs that play havoc with someones PC - don't they have better things to do? I really do appreciate the help!

 

Well - someone answered me and I seem to have a clean PC now!!!!!! No more runtime error!!! What a relief!!!

Thanks so much for all your help! I know you took some time from your day to work on this as well and I do appreciate it!

Thank you,

Yama

 

i can see in your list that you have some of the same spyware i did - I am not a tech so can not help you but here is the link to the thread that i posted and got a solution with the help of this board and the board i was referred to - but make sure you post as well and do not try just to use the same solution as mine - it might not be what you need

http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.php?showtopic=33750&hl=

 

Hi kwinkle, the URL that you gave cannot be found, the error message was:

The error returned was:
Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken.

Can you just copy and paste the information in this thread?

Thanks,

Yama
