Hey guys, working at a computer repair shop in town, someone brought in this horribly bogged computer with tons upon tons of malware. Removing every last bastard, things seem to be working except there's this perpetual problem after hitting the desktop. "windows cannot find C:\windows\system32\fwfnfp\winlogon.exe" Now I've learned enough to know I don't know shit so seeing that I've never encountered this particular problem I need some help! If anyone can help me out, I'd sure be grateful and my client would be also! Thanks for your time gang.

P.S. Everything in my mind leads me to believe that it's a remnant of Vundo, but malwarebytes usually does a pretty good job at removing vundo. Just to be on the safe side I'm downloading the VundoFix 7.0 but I'm not expecting a miracle. Plus the directory structure of the winlogon.exe seems to be quite fishy. Thanks again!

it's all good gang, had to modify a registry value and even tho it wasn't listed in ccleaner's startup, I checked msconfig and sure as hell, not 1 but 2 entries telling windows to start an entry that's nonexistent. Thanks again!
