| 374132 | 2005-07-22 00:06:00 | Indeed usbn.exe is an adult dialer, and should be removed | Edward (31) | ||
| 374133 | 2005-07-22 01:03:00 | This is the prob. Tick these, and click on fix checked C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbn.exe - this is possibly an adult dialler. O15 - Trusted Zone: http://awbeta.net-nucleus.com (HKLM) O16 - DPF: {33331111-1111-1111-1111-611111193457} - file://c:\ex.cab Tick the above and reboot. Then see what happens. If Usbn.exe appears in task manager kill it first. Hey Speedy your a top bloke!! Thats done the trick, rebooted and my dial up is normal again!! Can I ask a couple of questions here..... What have I done by checking the items and clicking fix? have i removed them from my PC or just disabled them? will they re activate? Also how did you pick them out from my log file so easily? are there common dial up hijack names? Thanks again you saved me a format and I was dreading that!! Regards Martin:thumbs: |

| 374134 | 2005-07-22 01:18:00 | By ticking those entries, it stops them from running on startup (I think) . It removes the entry/reference to the file from the registry? I've never had to use hijackthis to remove diallers etc (yet)! to find out what it actually does . It might remove the reference to it tho . Not too sure if it removes the actual file, that does the damage . (Do a search for usbn . exe on your PC) . If it comes up, delete it . If usbn . exe doesnt come up, ticking the entry in the Hijackthis log, may have deleted it as well . If the entries are under run (in the registry) they shouldnt run on startup . (If u tick the entry in Hijackthis) . The easiest way, to find out what's nasty or what isn't, is either post a hijackthis log here . or copy and paste a log here http://www . hijackthis . de/ And then click on analyze . This site will give the entries in the log a rating of safe, nasty, possibly nasty, or unknown? The entries this site picks up as nasty, possibly nasty, or unknown, should be checked in Google . google . com or Yahoo http://www . yahoo . com" target="_blank">www . google . com or Yahoo http: Either one of these, will give u a hint of what this unknown file is, or what it does . If it says the entry in the log is related to a virus/dialler/trojan, or similar, the entry (in the hijackthis log), should be ticked and fix checked should be selected, after u tick whatever entries . Thats it! If u haven't updated, recently (if u dont want to install SP2), now might be a good idea to get the rest of the XP updates . Good to hear its back to normal :thumbs: |
