Important 24 Hrs.

Tom.A · 04-06-2007, 08:26 PM

Hi, recently I installed some progs, they were viruses of some sort. However the past few days I have downloaded loads of AVs and got rid of them (trust me).

One virus was something that puts winlogon.exe in c:\windows i think... well, when I login to my comp it has 2 pop ups one saying

C:\WINDOWS\winlogon.exe not found... or something along the lines. Last time I checked, there didnt need to be? And then theres one about someother file, which is picked out as a virus HOWEVER, it is only a audio system thing for my comp.

So yeah, I get these two pop ups on start. apart from them my comps as clean as a whiste!

So, I need to stop these 2 pop ups. They're in the startup somewhere then?

Thanks and this is important, I have only 24hrs untill i go to england for a holiday for a week (YAYYA EXCITED... ok...), so please help!

Thanks and good... morning. o.O its early!

thanks.

Hi Tom,

It sounds like the infections were not properly removed. You know the drill...

I've scanned and scanned - nothing.

If you could make my topic maybe, priotity? Because I will not have access to this computer for a week, and my dad will be using it. If the virus is here, and infects, he wont be happy.

Thanks.

I went to safe mode, scanned with ad aware and it found a windows registry secuity threat or something. I cleaned it all up, when I rebooted, it was quicker the computer loading, the "couldnt find winlogon.exe didnt pop up, however the other did.

Im going to continue to scan.+
thanks.

Post the main.txt from dss.exe in a new thread in the HJT Help Forum and I'll get to it as soon as possible. I can't do anything without those logs.
