active x problems and dll error

I keep getting your current active x settings prohibit
running active x controls. I have all the settings set
correctly but it still won't work. I'm also getting
kern32.dll errors. I think i'm having problems downloading
programs due to this also. Does anyone know any possible
soulutions?

Are you sure about the file name kern32.dll? The Win Me operating system
contains no such file so could suggest malware of some sort, possibly
BadTrans.

When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus
application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of
viral reference signatures?

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good
as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a
folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that
folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of
Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log, provided
that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum at
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable
someone to identify the cause of your problem.

Sorry I mistyped that. I'm getting errors in kernel32dll=20
errors and rundll32. and the active x problems too. I have=20
adaware and spybot up to date and ran both today. I tried=20
using symantec to check for viruses but it also uses=20
active x so that won't work either. Any other suggestions=20
before I try that hijackthis. Thanks for the quick reply.=20
