HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Go into REGEDIT, follow the path above, and delete the suspicious entry.

The exe file that "seems" to cause the "WSC Update Provider" window also seems to replicate and change title.

They should provide a vehicle for us to enter our particular problem (ie. a screen print or so) and they can email us with step by step instructions on how to remove the problem.

NOTE: the deleting of files and/or registry-entries as described earlier may still be necessary!

I deleted this key and additionally removed the file 'ssithufp.exe'from its original location to another location (you can alwauys delete it when you're sure you don't need it).
This solved the problem for me, i.e. the error messages for the missing entry point in ws2_32.dll do not reappear anymore.

Another effect of this operation is that MSN nog longer runs properly untill you are connected to the Internet, i.e. starting MSN Messenger services no longer connect to the Internet automatically. Which brings me to believe that the problem originates from an update for MSN (I had the Patchou update foor Messenger Plus! 2).

The procedure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll.

Qbu5.exe - Entry Point Not Found

the msn messenger works but the warning comes up every time!!!

when i click ok it comes up again! and again and again...
until it goes on like the twentieth time

Operating system is Win ME how do I get rid of trickler_4010.exe This keeps trying to update from the internet, currently sitting in win temp 256kbs tried deleting through Win explorer no luck.

1. Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
2. Type regedit, and then click OK. (The Registry Editor opens.)
3. Navigate to the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

4. In the right pane, delete the value: trickler_4010.exe

5. Exit the Registry Editor.

6. Shutdown and restart teh machine.

7. Delete the shortcut in 'all users' profile.

8. Delete the file trickler_4010.exe.

These instructions apply to Windows 2000/XP.

1: Open up Windows Explorer and browse to the 'Documents and Settings' folder, you will then see a folder with the same name as your username ie my username is 'stepfaul' and there is a subfolder in Documents and settings called 'stepfaul' click on this folder to expand the contents. Click on the folder called 'Start Menu' and click on the folder called 'Programs' and click on the folder called 'Start-up', look at the shortcuts in this folder, delete any unknown shortcuts. Any shortcuts in this folder will be run as your computer starts, for example I can remember that I had a shortcut in this folder pointing to the file called Trickler_4010.exe (This file is an executable). Make a note of the file name and location that the shortcut is pointing to and delete the file as well.
As well as checking YOUR profile, check the 'all users' profile, browse to the 'All Users' profile from within 'Documents and settings', and again browse to 'Start Menu'>'Programs'>Start Up' and look at the shortcuts in there, delete any unkown or not needed shortcuts

This is stage one, what you have now done is deleted the shortcut and exectuble file. What you now need to do is to delete traces of trickler and Gator from the registry, deleting the shortcut and the executable file IS NOT ENOUGH.

When you delete the shortcut, write down the file name as you can then search for this name in the registry as well.

2: Click on the Start Button and click on 'Run', in the open box type in 'regedit' and click on OK. This will open the registry editor.

Please be aware that 'Root keys' and 'Sub keys' will be displayed on the left hand side of regedit and the 'values' will be displayed on the right hand side of regedit. Sub keys will contain other keys, so if you find an entry for gator (for example), this will contain 'sub keys' deleting the entry will remove all sub keys and values.

In the registry editor scroll right up to the top and click on 'My Computer' (regedit will only search downwards, if you are not searching from the root folder, then chunks of the registry will be missed when searching).

My email gireland@iinet.com.au

I deleted Gator & Trickler within Regedit still no joy.

Go to the command and type regedit.exe, Enter.

It seems that a spy programme called trickler is involved.
My error message re "WSCUpdate could not be located" has the heading
