Hey yall...
My Problem started with a stupid keygen.exe for a stupid $20 program (insert random insults now).
Here's what I have been fighting over the last few days...
It seems this keygen installed some sort of dialer that takes advantage of IE's ActiveX. When it first started out, I was receiving these popups of an illegal instruction handled by NTVDM (the file it was trying to execute was h91746.exe) over the 16-bit System Prompt. I continued to click close on everyone that popped up and began looking for answers. After clicking close enough times, I began getting a popup from Norton about installing "rdgUS2405.exe" and its possibility of being bad (big red warning box). In my research on this EXE I found no references to it specifically, but did find references to other rdg**####.exe (** seems to be a country code, because ive seen US and FR references, but thats only a guess) files that people were fighting. Considering this thing manifests itself with random names, it makes it much harder to pinpoint.
I traced h91746.exe to my windows/temp directory and found over 3000 files there, mostly < 1 byte... So I go to clear them all out, and did so with the exception of a few files that I could not even remove in safe mode command prompt. I also cleaned out histories, cookies, temp internet files, windows/downloadedwhatever files... Nothing will stop this beast.
So I decided to study the directory and watched it grow again. It appears to be creating random named win**.tmp.exe files in my windows/temp directory. To further complicate things, when enough of these files are in place, it begins creating random named EXEs in that directory that are then executed. I can see these processes running in my task manager, though googling the name comes up with nothing.
So here's where I am now. I disabled my IE and checked the ActiveX controls so that I no longer get the h91746.exe popup. I also analyzed a prefetch file for rdgus2405 and was able to clean some stuff out that kept it from reoccuring. My changes to the was Active X is handled, although preventing the 16-bit dos subsystem error from popping up, has not eliminated the problem. I am still getting these win**.tmp.exe files that are executing, and after enough of them execute, I get a popup regarding my ActiveX settings 'preventing me from viewing the page correctly'. Simply clicking ok, makes the message go away.
I am troubled by the fact that this got by norton and spy bot. I have run ad-aware se and the vxd add-on, as suggested, with nothing showing up. I have run multiple scans with Norton, and made sure all quartined/backed up items were deleted. My definitions are up to date and my build is tight. I use Firefox and I work in the IT field for 2 of the biggest corps in world. This is totally embarrassing to be a tech and have these issues I can't resolve. Any help is appreciated...
But if I cant get rid of this nuisance, I'm throwing XP out the window for good this time!
PS - Though I imagine this log should suffice, I do have a screen capture with the specific activeX error popup as well as my task manager processes and a major chunk of the HJT log. Email me at
bigpapaslim@cox.net to request it...
