    Are you the Administrator of the computer? Do you have a Windows CD?

    Click Start > Search > All Files and Folders.
    Expand More advanced options and make sure these boxes are checked
      [*]Search system folders
      [*]Search hidden files and folders
      [*]Search subfolders

      Paste this into the Search box at the top:

      user32.dll

      Make a note of the user32.dll file found and their location e.g. C:\WINDOWS\System32.

      Post the results back here.
    • there were 8 files found in total.
      as below

      user32.dll c:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$
      user32.dll.000 c:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$
      user32.dll c:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB890859$

      user32.dll c:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB890859\SP2QFE
      user32.dll c:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB925902\SP2QFE

      Thanks ever so much for your help. I hope you can make sense of the above!
      I am the administrator for the PC. It's actually 5 years old and I do have a "restore" disc that came with it, but would prefer to avoid using that if at all possible. I think I may have the problem resulting from a program I bought from ebay that allegedly allows you to watch tv on your pc. I loaded that up, from the next day, I have had these problems. I have removed those programs but the problems remain.
      Hope you can help.
      Thanx
    • Pls discard the program from ebay and register with http://www.tvcatchup.com/ Its streams are very good and free.
      You can't keep a good man down...

      Hi Dicatflip,


      Copy the user32.dll file from C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and paste into C:\WINDOWS\system32.

      Scan with C:\WINDOWS\system32\user32.dll again using VirusTotal and post the results.
    • hi SaqibQ. Thanks for your help. I have tried pasting the file as you said, and it tells me it cannot paste the file as the file is in use?
      there are no other files open on the pc at all. I have just had a virus alert from avast. it says that the user32 file is infected with "win32.SysPatch [wrm] and it gives the following info VPS Version 081228-0 28/12/2008
      now, I am really sorry but i have no clue what all this means. Is there a reason why I cannot paste the file?
    • hi all,
      I have the same alert with avast.
      I installed and run malwarebytes below is the log. shall I delete this files?I wanted to ask before I run hijack...
