PA Bear,

the files are being:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\9e7ad05a.sys

C:\Windows\system32\gacaq32.dll
C:\Windows\system32\gasac32.dll
C:\Windows\system32\spnmld.dll

Could the deletion of these files have caused the error message at boot up? I didn't see an
immediate correlation.

Otherwise I would have restored them already.

It's all malware.. that's why the names are random letter combinations.
They were quarantined by your a/v software, but the references to the
files may not have been removed from the registry.

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type the name of a file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and
when located, list what you find in a post. Press F3 to continue the
search, change the filename and repeat till all references are found.

You can delete most of them, but the file 9e7ad05a.sys and any of the
filenames, if tacked onto the back of, let's say, Explorer.exe, need to
handled carefully.

Hello PA Bear,

thank you for your reply. I will quote the text I reply to futurely. Well, if it's not being an
infection, could I transmit my Windows XP credentials to MS again?

I mean , I could try such first before it was reset by an infection, right?

For a while, the windows update website and the activation tool don't work either.
Also, as long as I ignore to click on sending an error report to MS or not, the computer
does not shut down.

When I would click some button in this error message window, an other small window
pops up saying how many seconds are being left before shutdown. Then the computer
will shut down after 45 seconds, I think.

All of the Windows are pretty much genuine Microsoft, I would say. Would a virus do
that? I'm puzzled.

I'd like to try to fix the activation and the updates, first.

Steve

You should have done what Jose suggested earlier.

When that exercise is done, then you can fix any remaining issues
