i reinstalled iviewripper & it still comes up with the same error. It seems a windows error & not an a/v program popping up. i'll have to check the log of what was changed or removed. I remember it flagging imgburn as dodgy & it isnt. so i must've missed the iview one
i initially scanned my computer as the USB was playing up (wouldn't recognise sticks or a portable drive)
now i decided to look up the error "a device attached to the system is not functioning"& found this

i checked the device manager & sure enough the USB is an exclamation mark again.
(edit: after reading a comment on here,

i reconnected the external drive - it popped up straight away & went back to usb stick, it also popped up straight away, with no usb error in device manager, so maybe not reated to the iviewripper error?)
but how would this affect iviewripper? it isn't set to use the usb at all.
i reinstalled iviewripper, but it made no difference
I used 3 programs, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Antimalware & Combofix.
MBAM detected & removed a heap of files from AskPartnerNetwork toolbar & a couple of registry keys for 'Teoma' - nothing seeming to be related to iviewripper.
Windows Defender only detected 2 trojans on the external HDD & removed them
Combofix did a heap of stuff - combofix log doesn't show anything to do with iviewripper (at least nothing shows when searching iview.) what other programs or dlls are used by iviewripper?
