memory error
Hello all
I'm having a problem with photoshop help files. I'm not sure if it's a virus, but the problem did start after some surfing last night.
When ever i try to open the help function within photoshop, i get the following error:
"The instruction at "0x00864a4d" referenced memory at "0x01140b08" .The memory could not be written. "
Then it asks me to close the application.
I uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, and during uninstall and the reinstall i got the same error messsage again while it was trying to uninstall and install the help files.
I also ran through all the virus checks you guys reccomed, and the system appears to be clean. I have a hijack this file posted below.
Also i noticed there is a program called 'ntdetecd.exe' running. Does anybody know what this is?
Also i just got an alert from spysweeper saying 'vmtuner' was trying to change my registry entry, but i denied the change.
COuld someone please help!!
Thanks very much.

*******************************************************
Since HijackThis does not scan the entire system and only certain areas are scanned to help diagnose the presence of undetected malware in some of the telltale places it hides. It is extremely important that you run a full system scan tool like Ad-aware SE and Spybot S&D. I would like to START with those steps and finish the cleanup of remnants or undetected items with HJT.
Download Ad-aware version SE Personal 1.06 from one of these locations:
/downloads-file-451.html
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html
Install by double-clicking on the downloaded file.
1. Launch Ad-Aware SE and run the WebUpdate feature. (Click on the Globe icon > Click connect > Click OK > Click Finish.)
2. Set up the Configurations as follows:
-- Click the Gear wheel at the top of the Ad-Aware window
-- Click General > Safety & Settings: Check (Green) all three.
-- Click Tweak > Cleaning Engine > UNcheck "Always try to unload modules before deletion".
3. Click "Proceed"
4. Click "Scan Now"
5. Deselect "Search for negligible risk entries" as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.
6. Select "Search for low-risk threats"
7. Run the scanner using the Full Scan (Perform full system scan) mode.
8. When the scan has completed, select Next.
9. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary" tab.
10. Check the box next to each "target family" you wish to remove.
11. Click next > Click OK.
12. Shutdown/restart
*********************************************************
I notice that you have Spybot S&D installed on your computer, but is it the latest version?
If you have Spybot 1.3 or under, press "Search for updates" button to get list of updates available. Press "Download updates" button. Close all IE windows and close & restart Spybot S&D. You should have version 1.4 now!
Now press "Check for problems" button.
Have SpyBot remove all it marks in RED by pressing "Fix selected problems".
Close Spybot S&D, reboot your system.
*********************************************************
Now rescan with HijackThis and post a new log.
I did ruin hijack this from the 'c' drive. I did all the steps you asked and here is the new post. Peoblem is still there. I've tried swapping RAM, reinstalling photshop, nothing works.
thanks
