| 203135 | 2003-12-25 23:50:00 | Hi. I installed a program a couple of weeks ago and it seems to have put somthing I don't want on the computer. Norton System Work (2003) goes nuts all the time saying there is a script or somthing along those time in c:/windows/system32/ - Enabling . It also randomly brings up a little box in the bottom right corner saying "checking messages" or somthing like that stays for about 10 seconds and then goes away. I also get pop ups all the time of companies trying to sell me stuff and win this or go here and alot of porn pop ups too. Also, if i leave the computer on over night while downloading, it somtimes downloads trojan's and viruses but norton picks them up. I have done a full scan with Norton and nothing and I have run Ad-aware and Spy Bot and nothing. Any ideas? One more thing, I just looked at the processes I am running (using windows XP pro here) and there are quite a few I have never seen before. maybe if i list them it might help. I'll put a * next to the one that puzzle me.... Ad0aware.exe ATI2evxx.exe CCAPP.exe * CCEVTMGR.exe * csrss.exe explorer.exe GameUtil.exe lsass.exe MsgPlus.exe msnmsgr.exe NAVAPSVC.exe NOPDB.exe * notepad.exe NPROTECT.exe * point32.exe RegTwk.exe services.exe SMAgent.exe SMax4.exe SMax4PNP.exe smss.exe spoolsv.exe svchost.exe svchost.exe * svchost.exe * svchost.exe * svchost.exe * syslanuch.exe System System Ilde Process taskmgr.exe vxdmgr32.exe * winlogon.exe |

| 203137 | 2003-12-26 00:32:00 | Do you have a firewall enabled? Is it the inbuilt XP one, or a third party program such as ZoneAlarm, Keiro or Agnitum Outpost? Nortons might not pick up all the trojans, so try this program Trojan Remover (www.simplysup.com) and see what it finds. |

| 203138 | 2003-12-26 00:41:00 | I presume that you are using a Fire wall ?? :) If so set all the processes and programs to 'ask first' then by a process of elimination you will find out what is not necessary. I have the following blocked:- Generic Host process for Win32 services. NTVDK.exe Run a DLL as an application. Windows explorer Windows media player. Services & Controller app. I also suggest that you run 'XP Anti Spy' which will get rid of a lot of the garbage in XP Home & Prof. |
