    Hi ,
    I have the exact same probleb that mathew... had:
    everytime i try and run a program a black window pops up entitled "C:\windows\system32\drivers\spools.exe ". Then another window pops up entitled "16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem" its says:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\spools.exe
    The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
    CS:0dcd IP:010b OP:c6 5e 0f da 68 choose 'close' to terminate the application.

    and it gives me a choice to 'close' or 'ignore'. it doesn't really matter what i choose, their both dead ends. I've been told i have a trojan virus. can anybody help me out?-

    I tried to follow the instructions given but they were a little over my head.
    Ihave installed the hijackthis, the dekhards, and the combofix
    But I cannnot get them to open . But I still had the explorer window open. I am now closing everything to see if I can get one of the downloads to respond. I need lots of help.
    Plz

    Welcome to WindowsBBS neednhelp :)

    Did you save Deckards System Scanner (dss.exe) to your desktop? If so, highlight and copy the following bolded command.

    "C:\Program Files\dss.exe" /daft

    Click Start>Run and Paste the command on the Run line, then hit Enter. Deckards will start in the file associations repair mode. Click Scan. Check the box for .exe then click Fix and exit.

    Now double click dss.exe and run the scan, then post the main.txt file that opens.


    Let me know if any of the above does not work, and exactly what does happen when you try.
