318237 2005-01-26 03:48:00 I note from my Running Processes that Itircl09 is running after I start up. I have checked Google to try and find out what it is without any success. I searched my computer and noticed that it is an application in Windows\System. There are also three dll files - windows\options\install; windows\options\cabs: and windows\system. Can anyone tell me what this is, whether it should be there and, if not how I should remove them?
(I have Windows ME)

Many thanks

318238 2005-01-26 03:56:00 Its not part of XP if u use XP.

If u do use XP, go to start/run and type msconfig then go to the win.ini
see if any funny characters are there similar to the one you've seen untick it.

And check under the startup tab in msconfig. It might be running from here.

318239 2005-01-26 04:06:00 ITIRCL.DLL does appear to be part of Windows -- in NT, 2000, ME, and XP. ;) It's part of the help system.

I don't know whether the "09" is significant.

If things are running normally, I would guess that there's nothing to be fixed.

318240 2005-01-26 04:14:00 There is a legitimate .dll file in windows called itircl, but that, obviously, doesn't appear to be what we're dealing with, since it's showing up as a running process, which wouldn't occur for a DLL file.

I didn't have much luck finding any information on this specific process, but it does seem to come up in Hijackthis logs for some people with coolwebsearch or other spyware issues. Spyware programs often name their executables after other prexisting files of other types native to Windows to make removal that much more confusing. It seems to be working.

I'm sure there's a more complete post here somewhere on removing spyware, but the basic steps for should probably involve some combination of

*Using Adaware Personal SE, available from www.lavasoftusa.com
*Using Spybot Search and Destroy from www.safer-networking.com
*And probably, if your experience is anything like mine, using HijackThis, available from www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/

Other, quicker remedies for less persistent issues may be solved by removing suspicious items from the win.ini and startup tabs of the msconfig console, as the gentleman above suggested

318241 2005-01-26 05:13:00 Thanks to those who have replied so far. I run Adaware and Spybot at least once or twice a week. The dll files do not have the 10 after the Itircl. When I hit ctrl+alt+del after starting my machine I see Itircl10 as one of the processes in the Close Program window. There is also another process, Oecm, which I haven't been able to find any information on.

I was alerted to a possible problem when from time to time when I shut down the PC the PC temporarily hung and I a window appeared with a message saying that "This program was not responding, it may be busy ..." but the window did not have a title naming the program. Maybe I should download and run HiJack this to see if I can learn any more. I will wait to see if there are any other responses before I do this. I really do appreciate the help I have been given so far.

318242 2005-01-26 05:31:00 There is also another process, Oecm, which I haven't been able to find any information on.Did you download a program called PuritySCAN? Have a look in Control Panel > Add/Remove for an entry for it, or search your hard drive for 'purityscan.exe' and see if you can find it. If you do have this program, read this information (www.answersthatwork.com) on the entry for Iwar (Oecm.exe). Jen (38)

No I didn't - I did see the reference to Purityscan/Iwar in Google and had checked previously for it. When I searched my hard drive for Oecm I only noticed a reference to Oecm.lgc in the Windows\applog

318244 2005-01-26 07:14:00 I have now downloaded and run HiJack this. The following is the log. Anyone able to shed any light?

Thanks in advance

318245 2005-01-26 08:09:00 Must be going bonkers, thought I'd just posted here but, nada, zilch, a big fat zero.

Scroll down to Iwar (www.answersthatwork.com), you can't miss the listing.

Do you have a Logitech Quickcam? If not be a little suspicious of LVcoms.exe, check it out well before giving anything the heave.

Couldn't find anything on ITIRCL09 either.

Have HJT fix these:

Then, delete these files using Windows Explorer:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ITIRCL09.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\oecm.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\maxspeed.exe

If you use Google, you will see the conclusions for the above recommendations.
