Hello folks!

Don't want to waste to much of your time, this fourm was my last hope before
the obvious rebuild of my Xp machine, I have narrowed this down to the
SmitFraud due to the symptoms I am seeing, after spending nearly the better
part of a day, I thought maybe someone can offer some suggestions please.

The thing that is making it so hard to clean is that I am not able to run
any applications on XP cept for IE, any other application I try and run I
get the classic 'open with' windows box asking to choose a program to open
the file, even worse when I try to access system functions(ie. display
properties) I get another 'control panel' error
'c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe' Aplication not found.

Although Rundll32.exe is in the proper directory, however the malware is not
allowing access to the rundll32 function, in turn causing my other programs
to give me the 'open with' dialog box.

Hence I am not able to run Hijack THis at the moment to view the log, if I
can get past this Rundll32.exe issue then I am on my way to fixing the
remainder, only thing is I am stumped on this one part, so you can imagine
that any suggestions are more than welcome and very appreciated.

Cheers!
