Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: ntvdm.exe Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 3:39 pm Posted by geek9pm (913 messages posted) Please clarity which version of spybot did you use? Where did you get it? Did it finish with a clean report? There is both a recommended program with the name and also a worm with that name. So it is a little confusing. The ntvdm.exe is a part of Windows and should not be removed. But it is used by older DOS programs, so it seems odd that the error would start up right away after the PC boots.

My paint program is not working right. That was to be an arrow in my chest. CK killed me with on of his every correct answers. I am back to nounal. But I would like to know why my Jasc Paint Pro will no install correctly on my XP Home. Used to work OK. Maybe I should start a thread on that, but I don't know what to ask. I do not have the original CD for this old Dell L866r. So I can not do a fresh install.

It did not finish with a clean report. I believe that all of the malware, etc were destroyed and then followed up with the 'Immunize" function. Then shut the computer down.

They'll also be able to help clear up any malware left on your system. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/news/index.html Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: ntvdm.exe JASC Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 9:22 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (32685 messages posted) Geek, of course you're off topic.. you little hijacker you.

Off topic for this forum... post. That was rude, Geek, and unfair to the OP. Since JASC issues are inappropriate for the forum, don't bother posting back results in a new thread.
