themed32.dll

[martyboy104]

I have the exact same problem as a few other people and it occurred yesterday like everyone else, and did the exact same same things before it occurred.

Computer found some virus and popups, so ran some scans including malwayre bytes. All good, then restarted computer, and same error as you

lsass.exe - unable to locate component. The application has failed to start as themed32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

userinit.exe. - unable to locate component. The application has failed to start as themed32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

explorere.xe -unable to locate component. The application has failed to start as themed32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

My explorer won't show, my desktop won't show, not even in safe mode, so i can even reinstall wahtever software i might have uninstalled to cause this. All i can do is open up taskmanager (it gives same error but still opens it) and browse the computer through it by clicking file run.

Can't run sfc /scannow either as computer gives error

Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected system files.

The specific error code is 0x000006ba. [The RPC server is unavailable.

In task manager it shows lsass.exe and userinit.exe running, it just doesn't show explorer.exe running and that is the desktop.

SCANS

1) Have done the usual scans as requested on the sticky thread. Whilst the DDS was scanning, i kept constantly getting the unable to locate compenent, can't find themed32.dll error and the scan would not proceeed any further until i had clicked ok and acknowledged it.

2) Have 3 malware bytes log files as i did 3 scans, each time it kept finding something new and different. So have uploaded all from the first one before the problem and the two after the problem.

3) There seems to be somethign wrong with the dates of the malwarebytes log files, within a space of 10hours, the clock has gone from 9 of june, to 13th of june. But all the problems started yesterday night around 11pm BST.

Please help, and thanks for help. I get the feeling it will be a quick fix once figured out, but it seems to be a very new virus or new and rare system error problem

We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine. Please perform the following scan:

• Please download OTL from one of the following mirrors:
  • This is THE Mirror
    

  [*]Save it to your desktop.

  [*]Double click on the icon on your desktop.

  [*]Click the "Scan All Users" checkbox.

  [*]Push the button.

  [*]Two reports will open, copy and paste them in a reply here:

  • OTListIt.txt <-- Will be opened
    
  • Extra.txt <-- Will be minimized
    

Please download GMER from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:

• Main Mirror
  This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended)
  
• Zipped Mirror
  This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.
  

• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
  
• Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.
  
• Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
  
• Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
  
  
• GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
  
• If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.
  
• Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.
  
• When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log.
  
• Click the Copy button and paste the results into your next reply.
  
• Exit GMER and re-enable all active protection when done.
  

-- If you encounter any problems, try running GMER in Safe Mode.
