I hear ya,

this Buffer overrun detection is a ***.

I have XP Home Edition SP2 and managed to clear it for a few days doing a system restore, but it's come back twice now. It renders IE6 & IE7 useless.

The call is out, does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have fixed the problem on my P.C. (Win XP Pro SP2, IE7)

My overun error was caused by a DLL file that is a bad virus or trojan. As a Jpeg file, It was opened by my son on MSN.

It took me 4 days to work it out. It lives in the windows\system32 folder. I tried 3 spyware programs & Norton Antivirus 2006 but the file kept coming back. I fixed the problem by downloading a Program called PrevX1,at no cost with a trial period of 1 month.

Go to http://www.prevx.com/

Download and run it, It worked for me.

I am sorry I have forgotten the file name but it changes itself a few times.

My problem caused windows explorer to crash and IE to go crazy at times loading up new pages very fast.

I have had my itunes quit running. After two days of messing with it I discovered that Quicktime was deleted.(I didn't do it ). I went in to re-install the stand alone QT and it is telling me that it is missing files. When I open the properties I get the Buffer Overrun detected.

I have run Norton (which I recently removed from my system, after all this happened) didn't help. I have also run AdAware, Reg Clean, Housecall, and PreVX. It finds nothing.

Can anyone give me any other help?

My iTunes stops working as well! it will begin to play about the first two minutes of a movie, and then it says its been overrun. Same exact thing with QuickTime. and i literally tried ALL the software on this page and ALL of them have found nothing. I tried closing processes, defraging my computer, restarting, hell, i even hit the damn thing and... nothing

Thank you Kim,

This also worked for me!!!! I decided to pay the $24.95 for the program and receive daily updates.

Not sure why I am paying for McAfee as it couldn't find any issues and appears to be worthless!!!!!!

I had same problem with WinXP SP2 IE6

error message:

"Microsoft visual C++ Runtime library
Buffer overrun detected!
Program C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe
A bufer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated"

Computer was clean from viruses, trojans etc. I searched for days for the solution, installed IE7, still same error.
One thing i found is, that some IE toolbars seems to cause this problem. So started to uninstall these external IE toolbars. 1st one i removed was dict.cc (a translator toolbar) and it fixed the problem. Hope someone finds this info usefull.

Well i have been doing some research, and i now know what is meant by the error displaying Buffer Overrun Error.

Basically, the problem is that there are A NUMBER OF VIRUSES on your computer, they are mostly spyware, and are part of a virus group called VUNDO. i dont know what VUNDO means but you know what i mean. I will keep you all updated on this. and what will be used best against these viruses.

these viruses are not potentially harmul, they are basic spyware which are over rulling your command to your camputer.

Obvious signs of this are:
- A massive number of pop-ups stating that you should download a free spyware check. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT OPENING ONE OF THESE, AS THESE ARE THE VIRUSES IT SELF TRYING TO INPUT MORE INTO YOUR COMPUTER.
-Errors stating that you have a virus.
-Do Not Bother Using AVG or AVAST anti-virus to find viruses mentioned. these viruses are 2008 viruses and will not be detected by a standard update of your old anti virus.

Do Not Email, just Instant message me, thank you.

I spent 24 hrs downloading sp2 package for my dell 2003 xp, with only 256 ram and 40 gig drive and was 67% into the download when my mcafee shut down my computer, then when i rebooted, i started to recieve a buffer overload everytime i would restart. also when i tried downloading any song samples, they would not run, but only for 3 or 4 sec at a time, until the buffer regained enough space to continue, once again, 3 or 4 seconds, until it was done. i have ran my fix errors program, and defraged, Please help, Question? Does anyone now why my buffer has filled up and wont return to its original memory.

Hi Kim,

I followed your advice and downloaded the prevx trial period, but it didn`t work because they show me a message that I have to got a license.

the error detected with the free scan is: c:\windows\system32\PLSRemote.exe. Does any idea how could I solve this problem?

Thnks,

It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log .

Hi, mmak_leo

Does it work on Vista 64???
Does it make any possible damage to OS??

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 11:13 AM

Hi,

i downloaded Prevx Edge. am using Windows Vista. Ran the trial version, however, the status shows 'Clean'.

but i still have the problem of 'Buffer Overrun detected'

please help!

thanks.

Monday, December 1, 2008 11:10 AM

Hey, how did you get rid of Vundo completely? I thought I got rid of it but it's back. I use symantec antivirus 10.1.6 with regularly updated definitions. I also ran ad aware and spybot. This has spread to two other computers on the network.

Please advise?!

Friday, December 19, 2008 11:01 PM

What is this and how do I correct it?

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 5:51 PM

Hi there, i have not had this problem before, but I do have some experience in dealing with trojans etc. Right now I am using a program called superantispyware, it works all the time for me. http://www.download.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=superantispyware&tag=srch&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows&filter=platform%3DWindows just select the free version. and it does work on vista and xp.

Let me know if this helps.

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 4:47 PM

What if this error message prevents me from getting on the internet? How do I get there to dowmlaod some of the programs mentioned as fixes? Thanks.

Saturday, January 24, 2009 7:39 PM

Shalom Eli
I am a simple person, i need few steps to understand how to do what you suggest.
I have a buffer overrun that corrupts my C:\Program Files\programfiles\microsoft office\office11\win.exe
this happens when writing in Spanish in office 2003 English version. It corrupts inC:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF the files mssp3es.dll and mssp3es.lex both in charge of spellcheck and dictionary. Same thing happened to Microsoft with Hebrew version 2003, and they made a hotfix. But Microsoft is deaf or blind to what is happening to Spanish spellcheck. If I remove mssp3es.dll or mssp3es.lex, I can write but without the spellcheck. BUT, who knows where the buffer overrun hides. The first time I had it was buffer overrun with IE7.
Could you explain in simple words how to change the Proof to proof.old and do I do it through the Window explorer or elsewhere. Do you know how to find where the overrun is located? HELP!! HAZILU!!
