Kernel 32 dll.error during startup

[alfguy]

Had some trojan horse viruses in restore file so had to
shut down restore to immunize. Since that time I get an
error in spool 32, stimon,statemgr causing error in kernel
32 dll. or msgrv 32 causing error in KRNL 386. exe. It
will not allow windows to boot up and I can not close so
have to manually shut down and then restart. It may allow
windows to load the next time sometimes not and I have to
ctrl,alt,delete and restart again. Errors accure in Mmtask
and systemtray also on the second startup. Have run
spybot, avg, adaware, and cwshredder and show no virus.
Would like any help on this so I can set up a new restore
point.

It just amazes me with all the people that wait to buy antivirus software
until they get infected. Like they are an invincible 17 year old. One of
the most misunderstood points about antivirus software is thinking that all
you have to do is remove the virus and you are done. While that may be true
with some viruses, it's certainly not true of all. Matter of fact, most of
the most vicious viruses cause significant damage to your operating system.
Whenever you have been infected by a virus, you should always go look up the
technical details on that virus to determine exactly what damage what has
been done to your machine. Once you have that information, you are then
armed with the information necessary to make repairs. Different antivirus
companies can name the exact same virus with different names, so you want to
go to your specific antivirus company's website to look up the virus
details. If you are not up for the challenge or unable to make the
necessary repairs, you can always reinstall the operating system with the
hope the setup program will do the repair for you. If it does not, you can
install a new copy over the existing Windows installation and that should
fix the problem. Either way, you should not lose any documents but
reinstalling over the existing Windows installation will require you to
reinstall most all of your other software as the registry is rewritten in
the process.

Always and forever, maintain a current antivirus program with current
antivirus tables. When your subscription expires, renew it. When your
program expires, buy a replacement. If you haven't already, you should
consider running a firewall program as well. You can get a free firewall at
www.zonelabs.com (Zone Alarm). The paid version will offer you more
features and higher protection.

Good Luck
