Any takers on this one?

Hi Kenneth

You don't specify the malware , but I would spend a few minutes to make extra sure by downloading , installing, updating and scanning with these 2 free apps.

SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware!

Malwarebytes.org

Then try repairing those files with

System Files - SFC Command

or

Repair Install For Vista

other options would be System restore to a point you think is before you got the malware, but you never know what may be lurking in the shadow copies, or of course a clean reinstall

Hope this helps

Seems to have worked, I'll let you know if it didn't.

Well, after running that in safe mode and finding nothing it couldn't fix, then swiching back to normal mode it's still doing the same things. Anything else you can think of that might be the problem? Seems that every crash message I get (mozilla firefox aswell) shows that the fault module is kernel32.dll, and as for the malware that got in, one of them was MicroAV (a microsoft antivirus spoof).

Hi Kenneth,

can only suggest you use malwarebytes as per my previous post, instructions here

How to remove Micro Antivirus 2009 (Uninstall Instructions)

then check again with Superantispyware.

Then if sfc can't repair the system files, either a repair install, or clean install is required

Repair Install For Vista

Clean Install with a Full Version of Vista

Hope that helps
