The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MS32DLL.dll.vbs infection of drives

Asked by adamsplatt in Anti-Virus, Windows XP Operating System, Computer Hard Drives

I am running Windows XP Home Edition an OEM version bought with the lap top just over two years ago.

About three weeks ago I detected a virus on a friend's memory USB stick.  This was swcanned with AVG free edition and showed a possibly infected file MS32DLL.dll.vbs.  This could not be healed and the oinly option offered was to send it to the Vrus Vault of AVG.  The only way to access files on this (and now my) disks is from programmes FILE - OPEN...

About a week ago I found my own flash drive to have the same problem.

I also noticed that in the title bar of Internet Explorer the name John SINA appeared constantly.

I followed Symantec instructions for removal of Grodzilla/Trojan horse but could not find in Registry any MS32DLL.dll.vbs mentions.   I did find and deleted a "Windows Title" entry with REG_32 John Sina W which I deleted.  No sign of hacked or Grodzilla...

I also searched and found two Autorun.inf files in C drive and one in the memory stick drive.  I deleted all three.

The Hard Drive and memory stick files will still only open from programmes FILE - OPEN and NOT from My Computer - the error message missing MS32DLL.dll.vbs messagae appears at every attempt.

I cannot reload XP Home eedition as the disc is cracked and I am in Cambodia with no contact withg the OEM lap top supplier.  I have "dodgy" XP professional CDROM (which works) but would prefer not to reload Windows with this unregisterable version....

Any suggestions to get rid of this problem without a fresh OS load????

thanks
