Still struggling with the removal of colormedia.dll
was able to remove two files I found in Norten Power eraser, that in turn enabled free fixer to truly erase the
ColorMedia64.dll in System32
and
ColorMedia.dll in SysWow64
in restart stayed gone, but my networking and internet access would not work. tried every kind of fix to no avail.did all the CMD fixes... etc. Guess I have to erase my internet network.
Found out that the two files kept the network the same and working but was obliterated when I erased the color dlls.
thought about doing a windows 7 repair install, but too risky too many valuable files and programs....to put at risk, even with a backup.
so I am sitting tight right now, but very suspicious that this trojan is stealing my science data.
so I am anxious to get this thing out of here.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
If I kill the files and erase the network it allows, do you think I can set up a new network?
thanks,
Max

Any updates on this? I still haven't been able to delete the ColorMedia.dll file, I downloaded free fixer deleted anything that looked suspicious, yet I am still unable to connect to the internet and this pop up window keeps saying that the file is not designed for windows or it contains an error. I don't know what to do, I even restored to a back up I had done a couple of days before and not even that worked. If anyone knows how to remove this or has any recent updates on this file please let me know.
