A mystery Autorun Entry??

Hi

I've just cleaned up explorer etc thanks to Pieter and the whole computer seems to be running more efficiently....

I've just had a quick look through the new hijackthis.log
(I'm still trying to become familiar with the various sections R1's O2's etc.)

I don't really recognise them ie. Are they safe to leave or should any of these remaining entries be checked or removed??

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EBCDDA60-2A68-11D3-8A43-0060083CFB9C} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\nzdd.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [449AQR9438ATQ@] C:\WINDOWS\System32\NgiNUdB0.exe

(Do applications normally have such a strange name? or is this the remnants of another nuisance program??)

Below is a copy of the rest of the hijackthis.log

Thanks

Regards

Hi Iedau,

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file) , a leftover, always safe to fix.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EBCDDA60-2A68-11D3-8A43-0060083CFB9C} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\nzdd.dll = Netzip Download, not really a baddie, but if you do not use it, you can have HT fix it

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [449AQR9438ATQ@] C:\WINDOWS\System32\NgiNUdB0.exe = Peper trojan, that one must be fixed! Generates popups and causes CPU to hang at 100% usage.

Run this uninstaller while being online :

Rest of the log looks ok, but it's best to update XP and IE to the latest security patches at windowsupdate.com

Hope this helps

Cheers,

 

Hi Unzy,

Thanks for solving the ongoing mystery of the unusual Run command..

I did just as you suggested and ran the uninstaller program..

That strange run command has been finally been 'eliminated'.

Thanks again for your help

Take care

Cheers,
