Post Away

My PC is ... semi-hosed. (Posting this from my Mac.)

May or may not be able to make this Friday's Dynamis run.

* * *

Blah blah blah details (No need to read):
Trend Micro complains about various applications attempting DDL injection ("Program Library Injection" in TM speak) and hooking of NtUserSetWindowsHookEx. Currently, I can't get the PC to make any sort of useful network connection, even as Windows reports full connectivity on Ethernet. (Can ping localhost, but that's about it.)

Not entirely sure, but I've a feeling it's a rootkit infection. My XP CD and code are nowhere to be found, so this may take a while to resolve. =/

* * *

Update:

PC is back on network, FFXI seems working. But, still getting DDL injection blocked messages. x_x; If I don't show up on Friday, it's most likely A) Some malware defeated my computer, or B) RMT hijacked my account.

Will make best effort to show up...

hmm try get yev to download a new antivirus software.
Then uninstall trend on your current pc.
install new antivirus reboot F5 or F8 to safe mode
go to system > system restore> turn off system restore on all drives..
Then rescan with new antivirus and make sure it scan all files ( check antivirus option for all files).

can try this first, it'll remove and fix whatever virus did to you r registry.
It is very important that you do this under safe mode with system restore turn off.

Mac is fine; PC is the one being screwed. (Full version of TM is installed.)

Uninstalling probably isn't a good idea, since the current security software is what's preventing the DLL injection/system hooking or whatever else is going on. What I'm fearing is that I have some sort of rootkit on my system, masking itself and potentially threats, as well as creating new security vulnerability.

I'm working on isolating the problem--need to know what is wrong before applying any "solution". (MS Baseline Security Analyzer is supposedly downloading security update info as I type this... It's taking so long...)

Have work Friday. Get off by 9pm, probably be home around 9:30. If someone's available to hand out hourglass to me, I can make it for the last hour or so.

[Shinku]

Going to be at work until about 12 AM EST, so I doubt I'll even make it there late.

My rule of antivirus is once antivirus program allow virus in its time to replace it with something better hahaha... MS Baseline Security Analyzer is a joke, you shouldn't rely on that alone... The reason to uninstall trend is because if the antivirus program newly install in, it might create false positive during scan. Trend does not do a good job real time capturing and notifying virus until its too late.

This is where sdfix comes from, by independent 3rd party programmers. I still highly recommend delete trend after you use sdfix in safe mode and replace with a better antivirus program.
