| 215697 | 2004-02-15 05:39:00 | I have Windows 98 and IE 5.5. A new programme has appeared on my computer and has placed itself in the startup list. If I delete it from startup using MSCONFIG it simply reinstalls itself there. I suspect that it is either a dialler or spyware as it regularly tries to connect to the internet but ZoneAlarm allows me to prevent that. It is located in C\Windows?system and cant be deleted. So - does anyone know what this programme is ? (it is only 33kb) or,more importantly , how to get rid of it? Any help or suggestions very gratefully received. Thanks. (P.s - Spybot does not show it as spyware) | teejay (2526) | ||
| 215698 | 2004-02-15 05:51:00 | try restarting into msdos mode, then deleting it is the file in c:\windows\system or c:\windows?system ? either way, point the command line to it by typing in: cd c:\windows\system OR cd c:\windows?system then delete it with del nameoffile.exe |

| 215699 | 2004-02-15 06:02:00 | Well you should be on IE6 for a start - security wise etc etc. So you've got ZoneAlarm, SpyBot won't detect it (is this updated), however have you an AntiVirus program? Is it updated? A quick Google™ search for 1111a.exe gives me stacks of information about this being as a result of the W32.Dumaru.AH@mm Virus. Symantec Info (securityresponse.symantec.com) |

| 215701 | 2004-02-15 06:22:00 | Bother - I overlooked doing a Google search. I updated an ran my AVG anti virus programme AND ran it earlier this evening and it did NOT detect the virus. Now I had better do a search to see how to remove it. Thanks for the information. | teejay (2526) | ||
| 215702 | 2004-02-15 06:39:00 | Look at the Symantec link given above.. it tells you what to do. Also, try the online virus housecall here (housecall.antivirus.com) first. |
