Subject: Kernell32.DLL error
Have been getting Invalid Page Faults Kernell32.Dll at 017F:bff87ede
recently. Nothing works except turning the computer off and restarting.
W98SE/IE5.01 SP1.
I suggested that he renamed \Windows\System file "Advert.dll" to
"Advert.d_l", if the file was on his computer.
His reply:
Sure enough, this system file is there and I had just un-installed GoZilla
right after IE5.01 and DSL was installed. No more page faults reported.

So check for parsites.
Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions
If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.
and:
SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
