Hi Tom
Thanks for that explanation. I have looked in the folder and my problem seems
to be that gwmhook.dll is missing, so I can't check mine out to see if it's
causing harm.

Hi Barbara,
backing up George.
See below.
gwmhook.dll file information
The process belongs to the software
GWMHOOK.DLL
by unknown.
Description: File gwmhook.dll is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32.
Known file sizes on Windows XP are 36864 bytes (66% of all occurrence), 32768
bytes.
A .dll file (Dynamic Link Library) is a special type of Windows program
containing functions that other programs can call. This .dll file can be
injected
to all running processes and can change or manipulate their behavior. The
file is a file without information about the maker of this file. The program
is not visible. The service has no detailed description. Program starts upon
Windows startup (see Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs). It can change the behavior of other
programs or manipulate other programs. gwmhook.dll is not a Windows system
file. gwmhook.dll is able to record inputs. Therefore the technical security
rating is 94% dangerous, however also read the users reviews.
Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as gwmhook.dll, particularly if
they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the
gwmhook.dll process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend
Security Task Manager
for verifying your computer's security. It is one of the Top Download Picks
of 2005 of The Washington Post and PC World.

Hi Barbara,
Re 2) I suspect the file may be gwmhook.dll. Have you ever installed
GW-Micro's Window Eyes screen reader? Even a demo version?
Overall, I think it best to get down to a totally clean system before
addressing your first problem. It may even resolve itself by then.
George.

Thanks to some great advice on this list I think I am well on the way to
sorting the PC problems and hopefully will avoid having to take drastic action.
I have updated JAWS 9 and installed AVG 8 courtesy of Phil's direct link. I
have also downloaded a program called Spyware Detecter and will look into
additional programs suggested by list members.
While yesterday the Spyware software was detecting over 200 risks, today it's
only coming up with 1 or 2 at the most, so that is a welcome improvement.
There are only two problems which keep recurring just when I think I've got
all sorted.
1 When I try to access either two of my computer's hard drives or my memory
pen, I am presented with the Open With dialogue box. I then have to click
Browse and select Windows Explorer before the drive will open. There is no box
to check to always use that program, so the next time I try to access that
drive the same thing happens. Any ideas?
2 Whenever I start up the computer I am presented with an error message and
an Okay Button. The message only appears for seconds, so I don't get much time
to read it completely with the JAWS Cursor. Therefore what I am about to write
may not be exact, but it's the general idea of the message:
"Webproxia.ex could not be opened because gwmook.dll could not be found".
Anyone know what this is and what to do about it?
Sorry for all the questions and I really am greatful to list members. I'd
like to return the favours some day but I hope I never have to!
