    If all of this happens each time you reboot your PC then there has to be startup related keys that can be tracked back to this problem.

    Download StartupList 1.52.1 from http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/.

    It's a zip file... You download it, unzip it, and run the program StartupList.exe. This will give you a long list of system configuration information which you can copy/paste into a post here. From that, people here can advise you about anything that looks suspicious.

    Well, immediately this item stands out:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Iexplorer32.EXE slide = C:\WINDOWS\system32\Iexplorer32.EXE slide

    You have two copies of this in the registry's autorun keys, one in the LOCAL_MACHINE section and one in CURRENT_USER.

    You ought to be able to go in to msconfig and uncheck the entries for this. To do this, from the XP Start (menu) > use the "Run..." option > enter: msconfig and press [OK]. In the new window, choose the Startup tab and look for entires with "Iexplorer32.EXE" in them. This is not a valid copy of Internet Explorer (which is listed in your running processes above as IEXPLORE.EXE). Uncheck the two entries in the msconfig window and hit [OK]. You'll need to reboot to have this all tested out.

    HI,

    I think you can consider the IExplorer32.exe entries suspect as well as the running process that appears to have the tmp extension (running from your local admin profile temp folder (but almost certainly has an additional extention). You can try to manually remove the IExplorer entries manually from the registry (backup registry first!) but I strongly suspect that you have more going on here than is apparent by the output you provided. I would suggest that you get a good anti-trojan application and see what it finds. Also, your AV may have been circumvented so you may want to look at a fresh installation of that.

    No problem, Dan. ;)

    Certainly downloading an evaluation copy of either TDS-3 or Trojan Hunter and doing a full scan would be a good idea seeing as there is something unexplained on the system.

    However, the things seen so far may just be spyware related, so I'd also suggest going back to http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/ and downloading the first item listed there, SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.2... Install it; run its check for updates; and then scan for additional malware.

    Hang on swati - We do not know that Norton was bypassed. Let's leave that aside for the moment!

    Did you reboot to see if that prevented what you were seeing?

    After rebooting and letting us know the effect, I suggest using Spybot S&D next, per my above post.

    I don't know, the appearance of the apparent tmp fil in running processes seems to me to point to something more than spyware. Even if the the movie thing disappears after a reboot I would look again at the running processes to see if there is an apparent tmp file running from local TMP dir

    Yes, it very well could be a problem Dan, but, before we have them reinstalling NAV, I would first like to see if the slide show goes away when the system is rebooted. Then, I'd like to see what Spybot finds. Then, perhaps one of the AT products...

    One step at a time may be best here.

    Edit: Oh, and yes I agree, rerunning StartupList is always part of the process until the job is fully done.

    swati,

    if you like, feel free to email me the two files

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Iexplorer32.EXE

    and

    the tmp file menitioned in the running process list

    You can use the email address I used to give you a heads up on our replies. This way we can check whatever results you get with your AV scanner and the Spybot app with my TDS, WG, KAV, PestPatrol, etc...

    Sounds good so far swati. After you've mailed Dan those files you need to decide which way you'd like to proceed. You can go get an evaluation copy of one of the AT products noted above and do an in-depth scan of your entire system for Trojans. This is a good idea.

    You could try one of the more powerful online virus scanners, such as the Panda Scanner. (There's a link to it here: http://www.wilders.org/free_services.htm).

    You can download GAV, a combo AV/AT product that is in Beta right now, but is very powerful. (See it here: http://www.gladiator-antivirus.com/)

    You can also test your NAV to see if it is still scanning properly using the Eicar test file. (Get it here: http://www.eicar.org/) This might be a smart move, too, just to see that NAV is still working.

    Oh, and of course, rerunning StartupList after a clean boot to see if you still have any questionable keys or programs running is always a good idea. You should keep StartupList and use it over time to see when things change.

    An additional option (but requiring investing a bit of effort in setting up) is a Host Intrusion Detection Audit project I have been setting up outlined at

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ntida

    which is basically a few scripts using freely available utilities to audit critical aspects of your system (Auto-Start values, critical file hashes, port to process mappings, File and Registry ACL changes, ADStreams , etc) I am still considering it beta as it hasn;t been tested as widely as I think necessary for full release but it should work fine :)

    Once I receive the files you are sending I will scan them with everything I have and then let you

    AntiVirus products will only indifferently detect Trojans. Your emule may be trojaned or you may have some other trojan in there (or both)

    My own preferred AntiTrojan is TDS3 from

    Looking on eMule's site, they indicate that it is free (though they accept donations). Is it possible that the someone released a so-called cracked version only to release a trojan they embedded in it?

    The best way to check that a file is untampered is to run what is called a hash algorithm on the possible suspect file and compare it against a hash on a "known good" file. There are various hash algorithms, the three most used are CRC (or its modified CRC32), MD5 and SHA1. Of these the CRCs are possible to circumvent. I would recommend that you get the md5 hash on these files.

    The Homepage of eMule is

    http://www.emule-project.net/index.php?s=home and you can download what is hopefully a safe version there (.29a IS the latest)

    You can get a hash calculator (command-line) from

    http://www.keir.net/download/md5file.zip
