I am getting the following error when i boot up. I recently removed a virus called WildTanget, and now I am getting this

C:\Program~1/WildTA~1/apps\cda\cdaeng~1.DLL

Please help.

Spyware, nor PCDoctor could fix it.

I followed a previous posting and deleted a file named
04-HKLM\..\Run: [WildTangent CDA] RUNDLL32.exe C:\Progra~WILDTA~1\APPS\CDA\CDAENG~1.DLL, cdaEngineMain.

The popup for the error stopped.
However, I am still getting a screen for Microsoft System Information coming up everytime I reboot.

[ditto]

Place a x next to this entry then hit fix checked. This will stop having the System Information come up

O4 - Startup: GoBack.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSINFO\MSINFO32.EXE


Besides that your computer looks pretty clean. Just to make sure can you reboot and send us one more HJT log.

Thanks,
ditto

The popups have stopped thank you so much. I thought I was going to have to DNR.

Thank you again

I'm having the same problem. I'm getting the same error message at start up. I downloaded Hijack This to aid me in following the instructions that I printed out.

Before I go any further, let me tell you a bit about my computer. I run Win98. I have a Compaq Presario.

I've followed the instructions, however...for SOME reason when I try and reboot my computer in Safe Mode it won't do it. No menu pops up. It just reboots normally. I've tried both ways in trying top get into Safe Mode, both using Ctrl and F8. Nada.

I'm growing really frustrated. I want my computer fixed, I don't want to spend money on it to get it fixed. So "any" help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Let's start with a free program. Ad-aware.

Using Ad-aware: Open Ad-Aware and use the Check for updates now link. Download and accept the latest reference file. When finished click the Start button. When done scanning, the Abort button will change to Next. Click the Next button. Right-click in the Scanning Results window and click "Select all objects". Then click the "Next" button and confirm that you want to delete the selected entries.

When finished, Reboot your computer.
For more info on spyware see the Spyware Tools link in my signature.

What we're going to need you to do next is scan your computer with Hijack This and save the log. Then copy the entire log from the very top to the bottom and post it in a new thread in the Hijack This logs subforum (right underneath Spyware/Viruses) Do not delete anything until someone has analyzed the log and replied back with new instructions.
