    stop: 0000135 {unable to located component}

    I was cleaning spyware and adware out of a computer. It had some rootkits that I got rid of. I was scanning with super anti spyware and it found a trojan dropper 4 or something. The file was located in c:\windows\system32 it was a dll file. I clicked next to remove it. Said it had to reboot when the computer came back up it gave me this error on a blue screen.

    stop: 0000135 {unable to locate component}

    This is displayed on a blue screen.

    It lists the file name that superantispyware found as the trojan and when I search for this file on google it comes up with nothing, so it definitely was a trojan.

    You can't do anything but turn the computer off at that point. It will not boot into safe mode it gets the same error.

    So what I'm wondering is first off if anyone has seen this before what would I have to do so that windows is not pointing to this file anymore. Second where does super anti spyware keep it's quarantined files in the file system? Perhaps I put the file back and then figure out a way to get rid of it.

    The file name is BASEMRE32.DLL and it is located in system32 folder. It is listed as a trojan.dropper/base

    I was actually able to get the file out of quarantine and put it back, the machine boots up but of course it still seeing this file run in memory.

    Well, I already installed Hijack this and hijackthis makes no reference to this file anywhere.

    It is possible that it is able to hide it's entries, there was a rootkit that was hiding it's self before I removed it with avg rootkit software.

    You can try to rerun HJT, but this time rename hijackthis.exe to something like btcomm.exe.

    Many instances of malware use multiple names, and also quite often will create files with unrelated names. Just because you don't see the file name doesn't mean you are 100% clean. Your best bet is to post the logfile here for a look.

    As you can see there isn't much in there, jackson.exe is what I named hijackthis.

    Has anyone ever run into spyware that once removed gives you a bluescreen that says.

    stop: 0000135 {unable to located component}
    This application has failed to start because basemre32
    was not found. Re-installing the application may fix
    this problem.


    Replace basemre32 with whatever file was infecting the system.

    I have never seen this before, I don't understand what is telling this file it needs to be there for windows to start up.

    The good news is, that there is nothing in HJT log, which would indicate any infection. I see, you posted at SAS forum, and you got one reply. Let's see what they have to say.

    Even though the hijackthis log comes up with nothing for sure this file is bad and it's running in the background and somehow the system has been modified to not boot up without it.

    Kinda hard to tell about the HJT log, what with all the removed entries.

    Might as well do the clean install, as that's really the only sure way of removed every trace of a rootkit.
