bundle.exe error message, cant get rid of it

[Guest]

Hi
I need help with my V25 notebook. I get the following error message
appearing four times every five minutes:

the procedure entry point WSCUpdate provider could not be located in the
dynamic link library WS2_32.dll.

I have uninstalled all programs that were added when it started happening, I
have preformed numerous virus scans, all coming back negative, so not
correcting the problem. I did a full system restore, to no avail. When the
box pops up it says at the top "bundle.exe".

Can you help?

You have malware on your system. Bundle.exe is malware, and you probably
have more. Here are malware removal steps:

1) Scan in Safe Mode with current version (not earlier than 2003)
antivirus using updated definitions;

2) remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy
(www.safer-networking.org) and Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com). These
programs are free, so use them both since they complement each other.
There is a new version of CWShredder from
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html. I would
not install the other Intermute programs, however. Alternately, there
are CoolWebSearch malware removal steps at
http://www.silentrunners.org/sr_cwsremoval.html. A combination of
HijackThis and About:Buster (http://www.majorgeeks.com) works well in
removing homepage hijackers. Always read the instructions before
running a spyware removal tool. Be sure to update these programs before
running, and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode.
Make sure you are able to see all hidden files and extensions (View tab
in Folder Options);

3) If you are running Windows ME or XP, you should disable/enable System
Restore because malware will be in the Restore Points. With ME, you
must disable System Restore completely. With XP, you can delete all but
the most recent (presumably clean) System Restore point from the More
Options section of Disk Cleanup (Run>cleanmgr).

4) make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security
patches. Do not install driver updates from Windows Update

5) run a firewall.

File Name: bundle.exe
Description: bundle.exe is a variant of adware Sahagent, which
redirects your internet connection through Winsock 2 Layered Service
Provider (LSP).
Security Issues: Can download and execute arbitrary code from its
controlling server, as a silent update feature. Deleting files without
carefully repairing the Layered Service Provider Stack in the registry will
result in a lost Internet connection.


Malke gave you good instructions on ridding your self of this.
