Hello,

Yesterday, in my stupidity, I wrote DDS, where it should have been Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) Anyway,

Deckard's System Scanner interacts with a specific rootkit (tdssserv) in a way that may make your system unusable (altering the svchost netsvcs registry entry). This download link has been removed until a fix is released by Deckard. For your own protection, please do not attempt to download this tool from other sites.

I am not quite sure what you are using DSS for, and if you should be using it, but I will answer your question anyway.

Everyone: Please do not follow this, unless you already know everything in it, and these tools should not be run! DO NOT try and work out what these tools are!

Tom: For safety, tool names partly obliterated. DSS is now dangerouns, and use should be discontinued immediately. The new replacements are RS** (not used much), OT* (very good indeed, modern replacement of HiJackThis) and Combo*** (very powerful, and very dangerous, even Tom, you should not be using this)

If you need any more help, or questions, PM me.

Sorry about that, what even is DDS, I have heard it, and am hurting my brain trying to remember; I know I heard it somewhere, and that is why I accidentally wrote it yesterday. I think that DDS is fine, but you don't mean the extention .dds, do you?

Sorry, this is becoming really confusing now. I use dds.scr not the .dds extension, I don't use DirectX at all.

"DDS is a non-invasive diagnostics utility"

All it does is give the user a long list of information so that people, like us, on foums will be able to help them with more ease.

It takes minute or two to run, and then it will open two text files, one called DDS, and one called Attach.

The dds text file has a list of:

-Running Processes
-Pseudo HJT Report
-Services/Drivers
-"Created Last 30" (The 30 most recently created files)
-Find3M (I'm not sure what this shows, so I don't use it)

The Attach text file has a list of:

-System specs and basic information
-System Restore points
-Installed Programs]
-Event Viewer Messages from the past week

I have attached a screenshot of DDS, so you can see what it looks like. Since it is in the .scr extension, I cannot upload it uncompressed, so I have added it to a zipped archive which is attached. It doesn't make any changes to the system so it wont damage your system if you just run it.

Just run it on your system so you can have a look at what it does.

Got you now, there was some confusion with the name a little while ago, and that confused me, but I should have seen that. If you have any questions (such as Find3M, PM me, and I will explain, and send you a few good links.

Hey people that helped me last time but... currently the troubles are not over. It's still the same issues only this time I can't even write it off to the heat.

The pc still shuts itself down without any notice, the pc doesn't even reach 30 degrees and I'm actually kind of going insane because of that. I'm getting ready to pull my hair out...
