1251746 2012-01-02 19:01:00 I have had a bulletin show up a few times, and mostly I iggy it since I figger M$ is just fishing me for information.

Well, I usually do (and this time is not an exception) leave my puter on with the CRT off, and just stream a radio station to make the house seem to have someone alive in it all the time, and when I re-lit the screen, there it was, a warning that M$ wants me to send a report.

What it wants to have me send a report on is:::

H:\System Restore Information\_restore{7a982 DD0-04F3-A361-9F1763958DB7}\RP702\A0140742.exe

...and I don't know what it is (nor do they it appears).

I Googled it and at first it had results showing in the instant results pop-down, until I got a few more characters typed in and from there it went blank and couldn't match anything on the web.

Anyone with any ideas?

Win XP-Pro/SP3, 3G RAM, lots of MP3s and a few videos yet on the HDDs.

1251748 2012-01-02 19:49:00 A0140742.exe will more than likely be part of some malware, its in system restore.

To clean that, right click My Computer,properties,System Restore Tab, "Turn Off System Restore on all Drives" click OK.

Once turned off I normally reboot the PC, those actions will wipe out all restore points as well as anything thats in system restore.

Then turn it back on again.

1251749 2012-01-02 19:57:00 The only monitored HDD for system restore, has not even been turned on for a few weeks, and isn't now nor was it running during my HJT scan.

I only use that HDD to do back-ups to my media files, since I had that really nasty time with Ubuntu once.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

OK - I'll go check on System restore and turn it off on the non-running HDD too once I turn it on. But System Restore should not have any reports nor should it be running right now - so that's odd.

1251750 2012-01-02 20:18:00 If you look at the details posted, the exe file mentioned is in system restore "H:\System Restore Information\_restore". It will more than likely be some random generated name,thats why google may not find to much info on it. wainuitech (129)
1251751 2012-01-02 20:21:00 ...Ah so! Do you suspect that this 'file' has taken an alias? SurferJoe46 (51)
