How to Remove the Patched User32 Virus

Preparation and Safe Mode
1. Write these instructions down on a notepad or piece of paper. Removing this threat will require multiple computer restarts and you may not be able to access this Web page again once the process has begun.
2. Download and install the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. MSRT is a free program developed by Microsoft to assist you in destroying virus and trojan infections.
3. Restart your computer by clicking 'Start' and 'Shut Down,' then selecting 'Restart.'
4. Press the 'F8' key repeatedly while your system reboots. This will trigger the Windows Advanced Options menu.
5. Select 'Safe Mode with Networking' and hit the 'Enter' key to load Windows in Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a protected operating environment that will allow you to tweak some settings that may have been guarded by the virus in normal Windows.
Disable System Restore and Fix Your Registry
6. Click the 'Start' menu and select 'Control Panel.' Double-click 'System' and choose the 'System Restore' tab.
7. Click the box next to 'Turn off System Restore.' System Restore is a safety mechanism that helps restore data in the event of a sudden crash or critical error but will work against you by accidentally repairing the files you destroy while removing W32/Mariofev.worm. Click 'OK' to save changes.
8. Open the Run prompt by clicking 'Start,' then 'Run.' Enter the command 'REGEDIT' and press 'Enter' to load the Windows Registry editor.
9. Press 'Ctrl' and 'F' simultaneously to load the search window. Enter 'SCNa' and press 'Enter' to find any entries by this name.
10. Right-click any registry entry that comes up with this search and click 'Delete.' This step ensures the virus cannot re-install itself after removal. Close the Registry editor when done.
Run MSRT and Remove the Threat
11. Open the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool by double-clicking the icon on your desktop or selecting it in the 'All Programs' folder of your Start menu.
12. Click 'Next' to go to the 'Scan Type' window and select 'Full Scan.' While a quick scan will complete in less time, a full scan is recommended to ensure you remove all traces of W32/Mariofev.worm.
13. Click 'Next' to begin the scan. When complete, MSRT will show the results of your scan.
14. Remove any malicious files and folders discovered by MSRT by either allowing the software to removed them from your computer or by manual deletion. Be sure to empty your Recycle Bin.
15. Restart your computer. It should now be completely clear of W32/Mariofev.worm, and you will no longer receive alerts about the Patched User32 virus.

How to Edit a Dynamic Link Library

1. Use Spices.Decompiler (see Resources). Spices.Decompiler allows you to take any DLL on your computer and decompile it, or take it apart. You can then make edits to the contents of the DLL (if its an icon library) or make changes to the way the DLL operates (if it contains instructions). Spices.Decompiler is free to use for an unlimited period of time.
2. Use PE Explorer (see Resources). PE Explorer allows you to see exactly what is contained in a DLL without taking it apart first. If you determine that edits need to be made to its contents, you can then do so all from the PE Explorer program window. After editing, you must remember to recompile the DLL file. PE Explorer, like Spices.Decompiler, is free to use.
3. Use Resource Hacker (see Resources). Resource Hacker is a program that can edit the contents of DLLs as well as a wide variety of other Windows-based files. Resource Hacker is only equipped to deal with DLL files designed for the 32-bit version of the Windows operating system. As of January 2011, no version of Resource Hacker exists that lets you edit 64-bit DLLs.

How to Fix a quot;JVM terminated. Exit code=13quot; Error in Eclipse

1. First, realize that this error is caused when you are attempting to start Eclipse using the wrong version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). So you need to realize what JVM you are starting with.
2. If you are using Linux, you can type "which java" on the command line. Otherwise, you can type "java -version". This will give you the Java version.
3. Now, you need to research the correct JVM for the version of Eclipse that you are using. For example, if you are using Eclipse Europa, it may require the 1.5 JVM to start. When you initially get the error message, you may see something that says "requiredJavaVersion=1.5", which will tell you what version of the JVM is required.
4. Make sure that you have the correct version of Java installed.
5. Now, you can either change the Java version environment variable or you can tell Eclipse to use a different version of the virtual machine upon startup. To do this you use the "vm" flag.For example: ./eclipse -vm /home/seed/app/jre1.5.0_10/bin
6. Now that you have changed the version of the Java Virtual Machine that you are using to start Eclipse, the error should be resolved. Good luck!
