I have followed a few of the threads already posted on the kernel error 1256. I had all the same symptoms, but now most of them are gone (thx to the much recomended vundofix, and some manual deleting) like the pop up messages, and windows explorer works great. But I need some one-on-one help for some of the residu. The virus seemed to have messed my internet connection. I can't connect to the internet. It tells me the remote modem couldn't be found (error 797). I tried deleting that connetion, and creating a new. But regardless of the fact I TELL it to creat a broadband connection, it makes it a dial up... which doesn't work. I called aliant, and they think some settings have been changed.
Oh, and my C drive still is a big red X.
Anyway I really need someone to walk me thru how to get rid of all this stuff.
So far I've gotten rid of everything vundofix has found (even the ones it couldn't delete), got rid of the pos temps in C. I couldn't get combofix to work though. Even in safe mode thru comand prompt. It tells me it's not a valid win32 program.
And it would be nice if someone could explain to me how to find my highjack log... I see everyone posting it, I have no idea how to find it, that is, if it helps you fix my problem.
THX!
