Please help!

I have spywareblaster installed and I went to "about" and then "system info" within spywareblasters menu, my help and support page came up and I went into my software environment and then running tasks. ALOT came up including Kernel32.dll. were all these things listed running on MY computer now? And if so, then what can I do? I have Spywareblaster and Spybot S&D installed, updated and running on my computer. Please advise, Kelly

 

Hi medieval,

Could you surf here: http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/ and download Startuplist 1.51
Unzip and run it and paste the contents of your log in your next post. Or if you´re uncomfortable with posting it, mail it to me.

Regards,

Pieter

Yes, that is a list of everything currently running on your computer provided by Windows' built-in System Information feature.

By following the suggestion posted by Pieter, we can take a look at the list of everything you have running, and help you disable any tasks you might not need that could be just causing your computer to run more slowly (if you'd like).

Best regards,

Here is the list, I also IM'ed it to Pieter. Thanks for everyone's help!

Pieter gave me some things I can remove, but what is the Kernel32.dll running? and should it go? Thanks again, Kelly

 

That's a normal Windows file - I'd recommend that you don't touch it.

There is the chance, of course, that it could have been replaced by a version infected with a virus (or that it could be stored in a different location, but have the same file name as the normal Windows file) - but as long as you have an up-to-date anti-virus scanner, I wouldn't worry about it.

This might be a little out of bound but...... was wondering if there's a way to stop the Quicktime 5.0 to start in the system tray at every startup.

I've removed it from my startup with msconfig but seems to be back there....
