C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CatRoot\{127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE}
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CatRoot\{127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE}
Does anyone know anything about the above folder/file? I was wondering if this file is reason for my computer running slow, IE shutting down and performing illegal opps. Thanks for any help. Here are more suspicious folders/files I found on my pc when I ran a scan by SPYKILLER. Are these bad too or needed? Is there anyway for someone to highlight for me what I need to delete in order to get my pc up and running smoothly again? Thank you.

(In his best baritone voice)...Oh Yeah.
From the little blurb that I post below so that I don't have to type so much, find the link for Spybot, download it, run it and have it fix everything in red. Then, download Hijack this here , create, copy and paste a log here, and we'll look for stragglers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jgvernonco’s recommended security software Zonealarm Firewall (free edition) Zone Labs: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conte...reeDownload.jsp Free antivirus software http://www.avast.com/i_idt_153.html Spyware blocking programs (free): Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard (the link will take you to the Blaster page. The menu bar at the top will take you to the Guard page. These two programs, written by the same developer, work hand-in-hand to protect you from invasions). http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html Spyware Killers (free)! Spybot Search & Destroy http://download.com.com/3000-2144-1...&tag=button Adaware Ad-aware - Software - Lavasoft http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ I run both of these, as they occasionally find something that the other did not. Additionally, Microsoft has made some poor choices about default settings in the OSs, resulting in multiple security weaknesses. Gibson Research has a number of little programs that will help you close security holes without having to edit your registry, wander My Computer, etc., just to get secure. I highly recommend this resource. Gibson Research Corporation Home Page http://grc.com/default.htm The secret to running these programs is to update at least weekly! Update Adaware and Spybot before you run a scan every time. Don’t forget to update Blaster and Guard when you are doing your maintenance. Make sure the antivirus software us up-to-date. Put a note on your computer reminding you to do it! Last, but not least, if you are a Microsoft user, update, update, update! Put it on your list! The only Trojan that ever made it through my security did not take me down because I was current on my security patches, which limited what the Trojan could do. (It was still a big pain, though). Most of you will have a Windows Update selection when you click “start”, but if you do not, here’s a link: Microsoft Windows Update http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp Stay safe! Enjoy the WWW! |

I ran Spybot S&D and Adaware and they both come up without finding any files or folders after I ran each of them a 2nd time.
But in running SpyKiller it still tells me I have the following, though Spybot S&D and Adaware tell me I have nothing. Started registry scan ==================== WebPI HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\SharedDLLs--1--c:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\msworks.exe Spy - Softec Software WebPI HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Installer\Components\8F4F491F5C6C2D1108 B0000CF43A92AA--c?\Program Files\Microsoft Works\msworks.exe--4334636503592D11FBCF000CF43A92AA Spy - Softec Software Alexa HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\CmdMapping--8192--{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} SpyWare/Adware - Alexa Registry scan result: Suspicious keys found: 3 Started folder scan ==================== BDE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CatRoot\{127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE} Adware - Brilliant Digital So, which program would be correct? Spykiller does not let me clean up and redirects me to a "buy for discount " page. I will take your advice and download all the other programs you suggested also. But the log that Spykiller pulls up, are those files/folders of any worry? I was wondering if this file [C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CatRoot\{127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE}] is reason for my computer running slow, IE shutting down and performing illegal opps or is it needed? Thank you again. MalachiThree10 |

The only thing that I know about Spywarekiller is my limited experience with it here. Because of that, I can't really trust it. I haven't had the time to research it.
Please download Hijack This, scan, save log, then paste it here. It's the quickest way to go. |

Ignore me, the first time I viewed the thread only the first post loaded so my reply is useless >_< Why can't we delete our own posts here?

This is all I found, which is more "housekeeping" than the source of the problem. Open an HJY log, check this for fixing, then, with all explorer and browser windows closed, have HJT fix it. Reboot. I would like to answer your question about why Spyware Killer found all that stuff and the otrhers did not, but I can tell you that a lot of experience tells me that both Adaware and Spybot are very thorough, though conservative in not IDing things that you might actually need. See how you machine behaves, and let us know. |
