Hello all, i just registered here and hope someone can help me. Lately my laptop has been acting up. Explorer.exe stopped working,IE and firefox kept crashing, kept recieving annoying popups. I noticed in the log that that the crashing of explorer.exe had something to do with msvcrt.dll. I checked for spyware, found a lot, and thought that maybe my msvcrt.dll was infected (nOOb). With some help from this site i managed to rename msvcrt.dll to msvcrt.old and deleted it. I guess you feel where this is going...
I didn't realize that msvcrt.dll was so important. I thought i could restart and download the .dll form somewhere and all wouild be fine but...my laptop now doesn't startup at all, i get a bsod saying that reinstalling msvcrt.dll might solve things. I have an acer laptop that came with vista pre-installed, i don't have a cd. There are some recovery options i can select when booting, but none seem to work eventually , because of the missing file. Can anyone tell me what's the best thing to do ?
Thanx for your help
