ACRORD32 is Acrobat Reader, isnt it? i think it's Spyware problem, CoolWebSearh is very (in)famous for causing these errors....
Download and run HijackThis, and scan ur System, and save the information to a Log file, and then Post the content of the Log file here......
*www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

Also, do a system scan using AdAware, SpyBot SnD and Trojan Remover..

Well I was infected by COOLWEBSEARCH and removed that by CWSheredder.

May it is not completely removed.

enoonmai · Feb 20, 2005

Looks OK enough, but keep in mind that pstores.exe, mprexe.exe and ddhelp.exe are valid Windows 98 exe files that are some of the targets of some viruses. Make sure your computer is clean.
On the other hand, it looks like its mostly a problem with Adobe Reader itself. Note how the Acrobat IE add-on is missing the DLL file. A complete uninstall/reinstall of Adobe Reader 6.0 or better yet, 7.0 should take care of it, I would think.

see the bold underlined entry above, it's a CoolWebSearch variant called IEPlugin, select that entry in HijackThis and click Fix....
Then boot in safe mode and delete all instances of the file SE.DLL....
Then restart, use the software Cleanup! to clean the junk left behind in the system....
*cleanup.stevengould.org/
After this, post the fresh HijackThis log.....

enoonmai · Feb 20, 2005

It's in the temp folder and hasn't been installed, presumably stopped by NAV, so it hasn't really changed anything in the system to be the cause of this error now, can it?

hsnayvid · Feb 22, 2005

Well I deleted the entry, and the file se.dll

now the log is :

Some progs still have the error.
Like Acrobat reader, etc

Will download CleanUp! soon

swatkat · Feb 22, 2005

The Log file is clean!!!!

Run CleanUp! , it removes the junk left behind in the system....

some of ur Acrobat reader files may be missing, u better reinstall Acrobat Reader....

Also, scan ur system with SpyBot SnD and remove any bugs.....
*www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

run System File Checker once to findout any missing/corrupt system files....
For Win98:-
Go to Start>Run and type sfc and Press Enter.
Here click Settings and Select the option "Check for Deleted Files" and then click OK....
then click "Start"....

In XP:-
Go to Start>Run and type sfc /scannow and press Enter...(note a SPACE betwwen sfc and /)

u may require Setup CD of the OS.....

hsnayvid · Feb 24, 2005

ran cleanup!

No results

will try sfc today too.

hsnayvid · Feb 26, 2005

Sfc tried,

The errors are still there.

klinux · Feb 26, 2005

do u have the suse linux given by dig a while back ? when u boot with it , u have a memory test (seperate app is mem86 or something ) . run the tests to see if ur ram modules are working properly . If u have two modules , try running the system with each one and see if u have the errors occuring .

Reinstall Acrobat Reader and th problem should end.

swatkat · Feb 27, 2005

yeah...reinstall Acrobat Reader...also do u get "invalid page fault" error for all/most of the programs?
before testing the RAM, u reomve them and blow offt the dust from slots and also from RAM modules and put them back and check for errors......
because testing RAM using programs like memtest86 is a lengthy process......

hsnayvid · Feb 27, 2005

hell with the error

I formatted the system today.

Now it is as good as new! :8

Thanks for the reply guys.
