    wlmail.exe missing....other weirdness


    When I open windows live mail i get an error message in the notification area saying wlmail.exe in missing in c:\windows\syswow64. When I open the directory, there is no files starting with anything past the letter k within syswow64. I'm guessing this isn't normal. Any ideas?

    Incase your wondering, windows live mail works just fine.

    This just started a few minutes ago. It was working fine when I check my mail an hour ago.

    Heres what i'm planing to do, in this order, until the problem is resolved.

    1)back up all new files
    2)run MSE
    3)run MBAM
    4)System restore
    5)repair install

    Any problem with this?

    Are you sure it couldn't be a problem with my new hard drive or something?

    In other words. could the files have just been erased.

    Never mind. It has to be a virus of some kind because MSE can see the files that I can't.

    I feel like such an idiot. Last night when the full scan started, I stopped it and did a quick scan so that I could feel fine putting the computer on standby before going to bed. Also, I stuck my flash drive in to see if it still worked after getting wet earlier. The last time I used it was when I plugged it in to my dads still infected PC.

    Are sure the HD was new, not second hand full virus.

    The Dell guy (oh god) said that they were sending a new one. Didn't check to make sure it wasn't a refurb.

    Also, I started full MSE scans on the rest of the computers on my network to be safe. They appear normal, but it never hurts to be safe.
