btiein.dll

Acriku · November 1, 2003

Using Zone Alarm, I've detected three program components trying to access the internet, and two of them are regular components, urlmon.dll and shdocvw.dll, but the third one is a file called btiein.dll. Now, when I grant access to these components, my internet explorer opens in new windows a lot of adult material. When I try to delete the bad .dll file, it says cannot delete, in use by windows. When I try to go through cmd.exe it says access denied. Any idea what this btiein.dll file is, what's wrong with my computer, and how can I remedy it? 5 people work on this computer, so I don't know if anything has been installed recently. Note: when I deny access, I cannot go to any website on Internet Explorer, but I can in Mozilla.

For removal, try booting in safe mode.

Download Adaware from Lavasoft it will remove all of this, and run it once a week after that.The link :

try spybot http://spybot.eon.net.au/index.php?lang=en&page=download as ad-aware does not detect all variants of the hyjacker file you have.

Atomic Mitten · November 1, 2003

Yes it does, if you get the latest version. ;)

shygirl4 · November 1, 2003

No it doesnt , ill post you the link later , where it says "ad-aware does not detect all variants of the hyjacker file"

do your research Atomic Kitten , before you dismis other peoples posts.

shy :)

Shy, that's what I did, but remember that I couldn't delete it.

I have both Spybot 1.2 and adaware, and neither helped me with this particular problem.

Nyar, I shall try that soon.

Gob, yeah I found that using google, but didn't see the download part, so I'll download pest control and see if it helps.

Hey gob, that pest patrol was cheap, it found 50 confirmed/suspected items, including btiein, and it can't delete or quarantine until I buy it.

Constantly changing. May be detected and deleted by Adaware, Spybot or BHODemon

Causes various errors, including:

IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module STOOLBAR.DLL

The files used by Huntbar are changing constantly and it has a built in auto-update feature.

It may appear in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs under various names including "Internet 404", "Tools for Internet Explorer, "MSIETS", "Search Toolbar". If removed using Control Panel ensure you clean up your system or it may reinstall.

At last site update the following files were implicated:

msiets.dll

msielink.dll

btlink.dll

msiein.dll

btiein.dll

stoolbar.dll

Removal instructions can be found at the URL below:

Hmmm. ;)

shygirl4 · November 1, 2003

well kitten you have saved me looking for the link which says add-aware doesnt remove all variants of the highjacker file ,add-aware doesnt remove these varients BTLink, BTIn and SToolbar, read your own links next time kitten.

shy :)

p.s.im not feeling touchy kitten,i just dont like your condesending know-it-all attitude, ;)

Atomic Mitten · November 1, 2003

You've got me all wrong Shygirl ! what is your problem ? ???

If I knew it all would I ask others for their help ?

Acriku · November 1, 2003

Well, I unregistered btiein.dll and deleted it, but the problem persists. Any other ideas?

Gobalopper · November 1, 2003

Acriku doesn't that page also provide a manual way to remove the files?

gryphon · November 2, 2003

if it is an addition to IE, it might show up with your software listings on the controle panel. . it might be worth a look..

Acriku · November 2, 2003

Gob, yes, but I have no such "msiets" folder or files.

Checked gryph, nope :(

Acriku · November 3, 2003

Shy I got your IM, but nothing seemed to work.

I have decided to backup all of my files and reformat. And then buy a new HDD. :)

gryphon · November 3, 2003

hehe, that's the same thing as I always do. . . if it doesn't work . . buy something else that does . . ;D

So now I am stuk with a 468 at 133 mhz running Win3.11 and Netscape 2.. . not that bad really . . .

Did the reboot in safe mode do anything ?

Acriku · November 20, 2003

Well, I was able to remove the file btiein.dll, but it still kept doing its thing. I'm still backing up, because I have a lot of homework for school, though.

Atomic Mitten · November 20, 2003

If it is still doing it's thing then you didn't get rid of it !

Delete your restore points, it's obviously restarting when you re-boot.

The only way is to do it in safe mode, close down all background processers and search for the btiein.dll and delete it.

You can't delete it if it's active !

Acriku · November 20, 2003

Um, there is no file called btiein.dll on my system.

Atomic Mitten · November 20, 2003

Do you have the show hidden files and folders option enabled when you search ?

Or rather look in hidden files and folders
