Hi Guys,
If anyone could help me out, it would be great because I am just clueless as to how I can get rid of it.
You see, I have Lime Wire which I have now un-installed and I also use XoftSpy as my spyware program which seems to be doing the job. Everytime Alcan.A appears as a worm, Mugly will also. They appear every day when I do the XoftSpy scan and I remove them, but they still keep coming back.
Anyway, Lime Wire is uninstalled but it keeps appearing on the computer and tries to start and then comes up with an error log which I have copied and pasted below. I have gone into c:\windows\system32 and tried to delete every blue & white file there is (with no icon) with names such as netstat, ping, regedit, taskill, tasklist ect and most of them are under 30kb, some being as low as 2kb, but they seem to come straight back after deleting them and sometimes even multiplying themselves.
I have done the whole process of downloading WindPFind and starting the scan in safe mode and all that and it hasn't seemed to help.
If this helps you to understand it a little more, it has also seemed to have hijacked the "Ctrl + Alt + Del" function and we cannot get into it when we try selecting the necessary keys or when trying to select the program in system32.
Please see below for error log which appears when Lime Wire tries to start, but can't because it's been un-installed. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It says: One or more necessary files seem to be invalid. This seems to be caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing Lime Wire again (which we have also tried doing) If the problem persists, please contact
[email protected] (which we have just emailed today). Error log as follows;
