spooldr.sys
I have an interesting situation. A client called and told me that her computer wouldn't shut down. Actually, it would shut down but then it would immediately reboot. I reset the machine so it would not restart after an error which caused me to get the infamous blue screen of death with the "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" error message. The STOP error was 0x00000050. I tried to do a system restore but was unable to because there was an update to Adobe Reader the day I picked. I changed the settings back so that she could at least use her computer until I could get back to it.
When I returned she told me that the machine now would boot to the desktop and then restart itself. I treid several times to start it normally with no success. Then I started the machine in Safe Mode and everything seemed to work except for her mouse. (It is not a PS/2 or USB but a parallel port mouse). I returned to the Advanced Options screen and chose "Disable Auto Restart on System Fail." This gave me a blue screen when the computer tried to restart. The error message was "The Problem seems to be caused by the following file - spooldr.sys." Again I had the "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" error message.  the technical information was Address - F89C29BD, base at F89C1000, Date Stamp - 469e788d.
STOP 0x00000050(0x00000000, 0xF89B69BD, 0x00000002).
The maouse also will not work in Debugging mode. From what I can tell spooldr.sys is a rootkit. With all I have mentioned above, how can I get rid of it.

Thanks!

So, how do I download and install this is I can only boot into safe mode? Will safe mode with networking d the trick if I can get there? It will be really interesting if I can't get the mouse to work.

I downloaded this to my laptop and it caused nothing but trouble. I got a blue screen, it runs incredibly slow and takes forever to open programs. There has to be a bteer solution.

It's gotten worse by the sound of it, Combofix would've taken care of it earlier. It takes care of spooldr.sys and spooldr.exe and among other nasties that comes with it.

If you are able to download the combofix using another pc, and if still able to run it on the infected machine;

Download ComboFix to your Desktop, from either of these locations:
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

Double click "combofix.exe" and follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

I was able to get my computer at least functional enough to run scanware by running the computer in Safe Mode Command Promopt and renamimg SPOOLDR.SYS to SPOOLDR._YS. This enabled me to boot, and access the internet afterwards. While I am in the process of running scanners, etc now. This is a quick fix to help get things goin again.

I am having to send this from another computer because my laptop is now running so slow. It has also lost all my passwards and Mozilla Firefox no longer opens as the default browser. Anyway, I ran combo fix and hijack this. Here are the results.

After running the scanners, I found that a trojan file infected both spooldr.sys and tcpip.sys. The scanner corrected the issues, and things are working so far.

So the solution that I can offer is as follows:
A) Start Windows in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
B) Rename C:\Windows\System32\sysldr.sys to sysldr_ys
c) Reboot and run a virus scanning/cleaning utility as well as an adware tool (Make sure to clean any infected files.

This worked for me.
-Rob

Oh  I will mention that the trojan caused Housecall to fail as I usually use both a web-based and local scanner. It actually crashed Internet Exploder when it was trying to clean the files. Use a local virus scanner first. I use the AWG Free Edition and Lavalsoft AdAware wiyh good results.

Also, my cpu usage continually spikes to 100%. If I am reading an email it will drop to an acceptable level but as soon as I open a different email, delete the one I had been reading or open any application it jumps back to 100%. There are several processes that fluctuate wildly including explorer.exe, svhost.exe, csrss.exe, taskmrg.exe.

You have 2 antivirus there? Avast and McAfee? You need to only have one antivirus with real-time protection, having 2 will only conflict each other and corrupt the system.
Please uninstall one of them.

I have had two anti-virus programs for over a year with no performance issues. I usually have one disabled and then use both when I run a scan. I did not have any problems until I ran http://www.greatis.com/security/Removal_Spooldr.exe_Spooldr.sys_rootkit.htm as suggested. I do not know what E:\PROGRA~1\CAMDEV~1\CAMUNZ~1\cuz.exe is.

Something must be going around.  We have one client machine and possibly two (a different client) experiencing the same sudden onset Random BSOD.  Both reported starting this past week.  Same precursors with the 0x0000050 errors suggesting RAM or drivers problems.  On the one, I finally (after scanning online with TrendMicro and removing a Trojan) got it to consistenly crash and the error message was a problem with spooldr.sys.  I'm going down the rootkit path to see if that clears things up and will keep advised as to progress or not.

All -

I've fixed my first problem.  It was indeed a virus, several in fact.  Housecall (TrendMicro) only got part of them.  BitDefender's online free scan got lots more and after scanning, rebooting, scanning, rebooting and scanning again, I've got a clean report and no more crashes.

Here's the BitDefender report in case there is anything in it that triggers something to look for for the rest.  TCPIP.SYS was, in fact, part of the problem.  I don't see that SPOOLDR.SYS (which I renamed to SPOOLDR._YS was, but since I can identify no reason for it, I'me deleting it too.  Oops.  Just did a search and indeed nasty SPOOLDR was found (by TrendMicro in the initial scans and again by BitDefender).  Looks like this was like Yeller's situation.  Must be something going around.  Hope this helps.  Sorry for how the paste turned out.

I ahve run another spyware scan and found five severe threats and am in the process of running another ad-aware scan. So far it has found 321 infections. I will run TrendMicro and botDefenderr next to see if that helps.

>>I usually have one disabled and then use both when I run a scan.<<
both antivirus are showing in your running processes, that's why I asked.
Not scanning both at the same time I hope.


BitDefender's log found most files that are already in Trend's quarantine and in the System Restore points which can be easily deleted by flushing the restore points. But most importantly it deleted the infected tcpip.sys

tcpip.sys are patched(of filesize around 375168 bytes) and it's the one loading the 2 spooldr's
spooldr.exe runs as a process and spooldr.sys stealths it.
If the exe process gets killed, the machine BSODs during reboot

The  tcpip.sys copies from System32\drivers & dllcache are patched so they need to be replaced/deleted. You can then copy from the remaining uninfected file or from another machine.

But that was not my BitDefender log. I am still trying to determine why my computer is so slow. It took over four hours to SpyNoMore and now TrendMicro has been running for two hours. The explorer.exe process has been running at anywhere from 35 % to 80%. My cpu usage constantly spikes to 100%.

If you didnt already,scan with the following antivirus programs.All of them are free,just google them.If your cpu is at 100%,you are more likely still infected
smithfraudfix.exe
vundofix.exe
rustbfix.exe
AVG Rootkit Scanner
Dr.Web.Cureit
sdfix.exe
SpyBot Search and Destroy
SuperAntispyware
AdwarePersonal
Very important scan is mwav.exe.The problem with it is that you have to manually delete the infected files or buy the e-scan.It will also show registry errors,that might be slowing down the computer.If you cant find how to delete the errors,post the log file.
And make sure you update the ones that could be updated

When you run hijackthis,click the following entries to delete them:
E:\PROGRA~1\CAMDEV~1\CAMUNZ~1\cuz.exe.I am not sure about this one,but it shouldnt be running at sturtup.I recommend you fix it.

In a run dialog box type:
msconfig and hit enter
On the window opened click the Startup tab,uncheck all entries except for your current antivirus,firewall and you could leave ctfmon.exe as well.,apply and reboot.
Download CCleaner(it is free) ,install and run it.Click the analyze button first and when scan complete,run cleaner button.Click on the issues tab and scan again,fix issues.
And also,after you are sure your system is clean,turn off system restore and then turn it back on.This will delete the system restore points.
After you scan your system and do all of the above,post a hijackthis log file again
Sorry for the brief explanation,but there is so much to do on your system,that I could be a day if I have to give you detailed instructions.If you have problems with any of the above,post a message.Good luck!

Forgot:When you use the msconfig tool,leave only one antivirus to start up with windows(all files associated with it),not both.You could always load the second one manualy if that is what you want

I assume it was BitDefender's log when I read the lines below that says;

>>BitDefender Online Scanner
 
  Scan report generated at: Sun, Aug 19, 2007 - 14:34:13<<


snazy,
Please be careful what you suggest to Askers especially when you ask them to fix hijackthis entries which can have bad consequences.
Hijackthis has a bug that false positively reports 09 and 023 entries a "file missing" even if the file really exists.

As you can see from those 023 Avast entries where it says "file missing" but the file is there, that's his other antivirus and Avast is there in the running processes. If he fix those entries it will greatly affect Avast, 023 entries corresponds to program's services.


">>But that was not my BitDefender log.<<"

rpggamergirl, the emphasis there should be on "my", that report was posted by a different poster, leading to some confusion :)

Avatar of sim2k_supportsim2k_support🇺🇸

Sorry for the confusion.  I merely posted because we were seeing similar occurrences in two of our client computers and since we had used some of these suggestions in diagnosing and correcting our situation, thought it might be helpful to others as it seems that something is happening on this front.

OK, I have run everything suggested but still have a sluggish computer. The cpu usage still spikes to 100% on a regular basis with explorer.exe, msiexec.exe and csrss.exe seem to be the main culprits. Whenever they run nothing else can because they will go to 75 to 100% of usage.

Quick Solution ...

Boot into Safe Mode.
open Folder Options and select "Show all files" and Uncheck "Hide system files"
Go to C:\Windows and rename SPOOLDR.EXE to anything (ex. "SPOOLDR.EXE.OLD")
expand TCPIP.SYS from XP Cd to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and Overwrite what is there
Reboot into Normal mode and no more BSOD caused by SPOOLDR.SYS

You can run anything that you want to delete rest of files.

I have tried all but the last solution and the new problem is that not my CD and DVD ROMs don't work. They did before we started this troubleshooting. If I put a disk in the disk is recognized and I can actually view the contents of the disk but I can not run anything on the disk. I have tried by simply inserting the disk, I have tried from My Computer and double clicking the drive's icon, I have tried by right clicking and trying to run from the pop up menu and I have tried by going to start, run and then browsing for the setup file. In all cases I get the same tjhing, it acts like it is going to load the program but after a few seconds of first seeing a disk icon and then the hour glass, it just stops.
What have we done to cause this?

Thanks!!

Also, I am not quite sure what is meant by "expand TCPIP.SYS from XP Cd to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and Overwrite what is there." Am I to copy the TCPIP.SYS  from the CD to the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder on my Hard Drive?

Thanks!!

Robert

Sorry for my previous mistake.Did you run rootbfix.exe or AVG RootKit Scanner?
You can also go to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ 
browse to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\TCPIP.SYS and scan it to see if it is infected before you replace it

And why do I need four instances of the svchost.exe process? Could that be part of the problem?

Having multiple instances of the svchost process is quite normal. That process hosts various Windows services. To see what is being run within each, type "tasklist /svc" at a command prompt.

I have not been folowing this thread too closely, but did you run RootkitRevealer yet?
If not, please do, and save the resulting log to a text file, then copy and paste here (or just the first 30 lines or so if it is too long)

Hi all,

I kow this question was opened and answered a couple of months ago. I've just encountered someone with this issue and they were running avast. They're wondering how it got past the antivirus software.

Any ideas on how to prevent this and other issues from infecting the user again?

Thanks,
Chris

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
