    Yes it might not be.

    Have you patched that file?

    I think i did some time ago, because some people were deciding to make my PC a Server host (hence, Source HL2DM Server in ComboFix logs)

    I mostly run 12 servers at a time, sometimes more, sometimes less. Which lags my connection a lot. It's 100 Mbps, so i have nothing to worry about.


    ......I shouldnt have patched that file, right? D:
    Oh boy, i think i just clicked a link.

    No I just need to know if it has been you or malware

    Please do a search for wscntfy.exe and let me know if you got any hits.

    No, sorry. I don't have any Windows CD at hand.

    This computer came with Windows already pre-installed on the Hard Drive, it came with no backup/format disc nor anything like that, though.

    I used to have a Windows XP SP2 CD, but the case broke, and there was no place to put it in, so it got scratched over-time, and it doesn't work anymore.

    ...The only discs that are still working, that came with my computer, is the Motherboard Drivers CD and Wireless Drivers disc. Although i never use Wireless, as i have an Ethernet cable :\


    I can buy another copy of Windows, if needed, though.

    No need to buy but you need to borrow one

    Let me know when it is done and we will continue.

    I think i have a problem, i got the wscntfy.exe file, but i cant use it. Each time i copy it into the Hard Drive, there's a popup on my taskbar, that says that the file is corrupted.

    Any ideas on what is going on? I don't want to run Chkdsk because it "might" delete something that is related to the possible infection.

    So, what do i do?

    Also, have a cookie :P
