    Bit of a weird one. I installed SpySweeper on Thursday and it found lots of keyloggers in the registry that Adaware did not pick up. Anyway, I let it quarantine them. Now, however, on startup I keep getting this system process that keeps trying to run that I keep denying with PG. It ususally has no description, no command line, is 0kb, and says that it was created on 01 Jan 1601(!!). Has anyone come across this? I have run registry checker on systweak to remove spurious registry entries, but still it keeps coming up. IT sometimes comes up with an "e" on the command line or another letter, but most of the time is blank.

    Any ideas?? o_O

    Hi Tarren, Can you post your Autostart Viewer log available from here please.
    http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=products
    In the Main menu select all of the first three choices if they are not already selected.
    Save and say yes to view the file now.
    Cut and paste into your next post.

    Thanks. Pilli

    Hi Pilli,

    Done as below. I've highlighted the ones that look strange to me (but I am a novice, so they could be valid!): -

    Tarren, I'm no expert at these either but Gavin is and he should be around tomorrow and if there are any other experts around I'm sure they will respond.

    This one is OK though:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\procguard\
    \??\C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\procguard.sy
    Except that the end .sy should be .sys but that might just be in the viewer copy :)

    Looks like initpki.dll is ok to. http://www.ezgoal.com/channels/developer/c.asp?cid=197759&p=109&o=&s=&l=&t=&Developer software

    PfModNT.sys Could be a creative labs file?

    Ok, thanks Pilli, I do wonder about this: -

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
    + Flags File not found: €


    that Autoruns found, but I'll wait till I get a response from Gavin or another expert in that field.

    Thanks for the help so far guys, those programs you directed me too are really useful!

    HI guys,

    tried removing what I thought was the path that was causing the problem. It wasnt that. I have rechecked Autoruns, and I think it might be one of the paths highlighted. The process guard one could be the one, because I can't find that particular file, the PG detection occurs after PG starts.

    Any advice you can give will be really helpful.

    Thanks a lot for the help so far. :D

    Hi Tarren, That messge relates to a process guard file that is no longer used and was replaced by DCSuserprot from Version 2 onwards and can safely be deleted if it still exists, check your Start - Programs - Startup folder to see if a shortcut is still there that may be causing the entry in your log.
    I gues the tuner start entry is the same or maybe a one time occurrance when the program was installed.

    This is a problem

    NUL=C:\DOCUME~1\craig1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ginstall.dll
    it's a trojan and drops other files normally

    post a hjt log please as I can understand them better

    Hi Derek,

    Sorry for being dense, but how do I get a HJT log!! Pretty new to this!! (Strange that TDS didn't pick up on this)

    Also, Pilli, for the PGMsgProt issue, in the startup Processguard appears, but the path is processguard.exe - minimise. I can see PGMsgProt in the registry, but can't delete it.

    Thanks again for your time

    Tar.

    nothing showing in the hjt log so

    as some of the files or folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
    Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
    Click "Apply" then "OK"

    go to C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Local Settings\Temp and select everything in that folder and delete it (repeat for every user name/account )

    and select EVERYTHING in C:\windows\temp except temporary internet files, cookies and history folders and delete all that as well and everything in C:\temp

    1) Open Control Panel
    2) Click on Internet Options
    3) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
    4) You may also want to check the box "Delete all offline content"
    5) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the temporary internet files
    6) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that websites have placed on your hard drive

    Hi dvk01

    Thanks for the reply. I have done as you have said and rebooted the pc.

    PG now picks up the message on startup as

    0c91ec756}\treatas.

    No command line still, but maybe that is more helpful.

    Also, you said earlier that: -

    NUL=C:\DOCUME~1\craig1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ginstall.dll

    is a trojan. TDS is not picking it up. How can I remove it, or was removing the file from temp enough?

    Many thanks.

    T.

    Still getting the process guard problem on startup. It has also started to get worse. For the last couple of days, the same problem has been detected by process guard during normal operation of the pc, and has twice caused the pc to hang. The most common system process is still blank, but it does come up with spurious charactors as, and a couple of times with process guard/DCSuserprot.exe appearing, but all without command lines and all have the 1601 date.

    Are there any other programs I can run to remove the problem?

    I have run all the ones suggested on this post, as well as TDS. The only other thing I can think of is that process guard has become corrupted somehow, so I will try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

    Apart from that, anyone got any other suggestions?

    Tar.

    If you are using ProcessGuard v2.0 not being able to show file information for some files (files which are encrypted using EFS or on a network) is already a known problem. v3.000 of ProcessGuard fixes this problem.
