Ok so i got this and I was wondering how in the world did I get it?
anyways, I open my computer to find that I can't open any applications. my firwall was taken off.
microsoft spyware beta options changed.
to finish things off i can't go online using the internet explorer icon and i can download anything online to repair.
another thing is i can't open add/remove hardware cause it says"C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" Application not found.

Prior to doing anything XP users MUST disable System Restore!!! You can re enable it after you are clean.
1. Download, install and run CrapCleaner to remove any temporary and junk files.
2. Download Ad-Aware SE 1.06 and set it up as shown HERE.
3. Download SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.4 and set it up as shown HERE.
4. Download and run CWShredder 2.15.
5. Download, update and scan with Spy Sweeper 4.5, there is a FREE 30-day trial and it is an EXCELLENT product. There is no need to use it's real-time protection, so uncheck all of those options.
6. Download Ewido Security Suite 3.5 and set it up as shown HERE.
7. Unless you are already using Kaspersky Antivirus do a FREE online virus scan from Kaspersky Online Scanner, make sure to check the option to use the EXTENDED DATABASE option listed under "Scanning Options".
8. It it also a good idea to run the Winsock Fix to repair your TCP/IP stack. (you will have to redo any tweaks for your connection if this is used)
9. If after doing ALL of the above and you are still having problems please scan with HijackThis 1.99.1 as shown HERE and post a log here in this forum for us to look at.
10. Download SpywareBlaster 3.4 and set it up as shown HERE to help stay spyware free.

ok, i try to download from online but then it tells me application not found.
I go into the rundll32 in my c:\windows\system32\DLLCACHE and put in a new rundll32 then copy it to system32 but then it automatically switches out to the original infected version.
Nothing i have gets rid of it and I can't download succesfully.
I have Microsoft anti spyware, privacy guardian, registry doctor, Spybot search & destroy, cws shredder, spywareblaster, ad-aware se, spyware doctor.
only microsoft anti spyware found the trojan, trojan.startup.nameshift.fl.
Had 1041 entries all in which it removed and quarantined.
Non of the programs, or even system utilities work.
