It's just came up recently. I havn't downloaded anything for about 3 weeks and suddenly my Windows Media wont open up. Once I click on it, the loading cursor comes up and then nothing.<BR>I opened up the Task Manager (I have Windows XP) and the bdl94216.exe would come up, and soon disappear. I traced it and found it in C:/WINDOWS<BR>I've tried deleting it (not entirely, just in the recycle bin), but a new copy if it would just be made again. I double clicked it, since it's an exe, I thought something would open. Nothing. Later as I looked around in WINDOWS, suddenly there was a et500j.exe. I didn't know what it was so I ran my free version of AVG anti-virus program and it identified the et500j.exe as a trojan (i think). Anyway, I deleted the et500j.exe manually because AVG didn't do anything about it... it just found it for me... and the file was never seen again.<BR><BR>Once again I try to open my Windows Media and once again nothing. So I looked in my msconfig - no such thing was checked. Then I looked in my registry, it found a prefetch or something of the sort. I double clicked it, putting it into modify mode. A bunch of files were named in it. I traced those files down and deleted them. One of them was a cookie, and two others were .tmp files starting with ~. I checked the date on those before I deleted them, they were the most recent .tmp files.<BR><BR>All that still didn't work. And so I got angry and deleted the prefetch thing itself... it just made another after I tried to open Windows Media again. I'm not at home or else I'd just copy and paste what it has on it.<BR><BR>something like a ??\WINDOWS<BR><BR>I'm confused here -_-, someone please help
