Looking at your C: / D: Drives you're out of room, especially on the C: Drive

------------------------
Disk & DVD/CD-ROM Drives
------------------------
Drive: C:
Free Space: 0.6 GB
Total Space: 26.7 GB
File System: NTFS
Model: ST340810A

Drive: D:
Free Space: 4.2 GB
Total Space: 11.4 GB
File System: NTFS
Model: ST340810A

Since Windows is on the C: drive you are going to run into problems, and you're going to need to clear off some stuff in order to give Windows some room there. I know its a small HD, but my C: drive is only a 20 GB'er and it only has Windows and a few other things on it.

Try to move as much as you can to your H: drive

and leave at least 4 - 5 GB's free and check your Swap File size on that drive

[Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Tab -> Performance Settings Button -> Advanced Tab -> Virtual Memory Change Button]

I've cleared some stuff off my C drive and now i've got 6gb left.my virtual memory is 700mb minimum and my max is 1400mb.

I know I am late into this guys/gals but alienfinder should post another TaskManager screenshot to be sure all the viruses are gone.

wdfmgr.exe and wscntfy.exe are both viruses
should make sure they are gone.

heres a screenshot it seems wdfmgr.exe is still running i ended it in task manager after i took the shot.

Hi Alienfinder, do a reboot now and bring up TaskManager again see if its still there, do you have Media player 10? If you do it may be a part of Media player, just Quarentine or end it for a while to see if that helps

another tip for zone alarm

[anonymez]

best solution imho is to uninstall zonealarm and use something at least half-decent

[uufta]

If you have MediaPlayer 10, then the wdfmgr.exe is probably ok, just be sure it is located in c:\windows\system32\ directory......this is one file that is getting mixed reviews so I personally would leave it in quarentine it or end it and if mediaplayer works fine without it, so be it.


Are you running ZoneAlarm?

yes

Hi alienfinder

The valid wdfmgr.exe [Windows User Mode Driver Manager] is part of Windows Media Player 10, is located in C:\Windows\system32\, and runs as a service.
See: http://castlecops.com/modules.php?na...ery=wdfmgr.exe

The bad wdfmgr.exe is added by the W32/Agobot-TB worm, uses the name MS_Update Check and runs at startup.
See: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......
Now with that being said, if you are still in doubt make a copy of the file or any file you have any doubts about
(like vsmon.exe that also shows up on your list, which could be from ZoneAlarm or could be a bug)
{thats why everybody is asking you about ZoneAlarm}

you can upload these files to one or the other of these sights and multiple AV engines will give their opinion if its a worm or not.

wish I could help more, this whole virus thing is very frustrating

all these sights are free and very useful for future problems you may have.

thanks for the links i found its not a worm.I think i'll take anonymous' advice and uninstall zone alarm I was think of installing kerio firewall is it any good?

[uufta]

Way to stick with it!

keep those links handy, anything new pops up in your taskmanager or anywhere else, check them out.

I would take Anon's advice and lose ZoneAlarm, I am not familiar with the firewall you mentioned, I am sure somebody else here is.
I use Nortons and Microsoft Firewalls cause they were already on my machine.

good luck
