383794 2005-08-26 04:35:00 Tick these. Close browsers. Tick fix checked.

Reboot. Update windows as shown in the link below.

securityresponse.symantec.com

C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe

This is Gaobot, a worm.

04 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto

Part of Gaobot

Also try an online scan.

O4 - Global Startup: WinZip Quick Pick.lnk = C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZQKPICK.EXE

Not nasty but not needed

See if u can use ccleaner and remove those 04 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto, relating to Gaobot under the tools / startup tab.

383795 2005-08-26 04:49:00 Thanks once again Speedy, I'm scanning with Trend Micro. I'll report back in an hour or two when it's finished. I'm not going to touch anything else until it's done scanning. MasturJeff (7803)
383796 2005-08-26 04:55:00 No worries :)

Umm if that site does nothing , or doesnt detect anything, try trojan remover

. simplysup . com/tremover/" target="_blank">www . simplysup . com

Even tho some worms etc may affect this, they'll have a hard time, since this program uses random file name generation, and worms etc wouldnt know all the names it generates!

Also the latest version of trojan remover will scan running processes . So, if Gaobots is still running now, hopefully it'll detect and kill it! Its got a few Gaobot defs in it . So, it may remove it, and its entries .

383797 2005-08-26 04:58:00 I used CCleaner and got rid of that winupdates thing. MasturJeff (7803)
383798 2005-08-26 05:06:00 I used CCleaner and got rid of that winupdates thing .

Good! Thats a start . At least it wont run, when u reboot . Just in case it rears it ugly head again, once u reboot, check Ccleaner again .

Or try task manager once u reboot . It should hopefully open!

383799 2005-08-26 05:11:00 Crap I have to register for Trojan Remover, it says my 30 day trial already expired... MasturJeff (7803)
383800 2005-08-26 05:14:00 Ah ok then, well u cant use Trojan Remover then lol. Unless you want to buy it online. Speedy Gonzales (78)
383801 2005-08-26 05:28:00 Trend Micro:
