I have an exe file that keeps morphing and I can't get rid of it.

Its my my temp files. I ran Ccleaner to see if I can get rid of it yesterday and it came back under a new name. I'm running Avast with a through scan right now. The file is utt257.tmp.exe. This is the name it is under today. Yesterday it was called utt1D4.tmp.exe. What could be causing this and what can I do to stop it Spyware Terminator has the main one blocked so it always stops it when starting up.

 

upload to virustotal.. just to check what is it..


BHH

 

I can't find the file. I look for it in the file search feature but nothing comes up.

 

Hi Cheater:

I did a google search and came up blank as well.

When you run CCleaner analysis it gives a path for the files it is about to clean,
that information it may give a clue as to the SW doing this and what is going on here.

Have you added anything new SW wise lately? Hows your register health?

You may have to do a HJT log analysis as a last resort but try running some online web based virsus scans (KAV? BD) to see if you can zap it that way.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

 

I installed Adobe flash player a few days ago. But this started happening yesterday. I'll run Ccleaner's registry fixer now.

 

FOUND IT!!!!!! I ran the registry cleaner and it was in there. I fixed it. Here is a pic.

 

Now that Ccleaner fixed it can I take it out of block from Spyware Terminator. I purged them from the quarantine section in Comodo Firewall's Defense Plus.

 

Hi Cheater:

Good you made progress! Try rebooting now to see if it re morphs!

 

Turns out the exe file was Bittorrent trying to update to the newest version. I went into Bittorrent and a message came up saying that I had to update to the newest version. I hit yes and that exe file came up. So I updated and all is good now. Its scary waking up going to your computer and seeing an exe file is trying to execute. They should rename their files better so it does not freak people out like what happened to me.

 

Silly me I forgot to unblock it in Spyware Terminator. No wonder I had an error message come up about it when rebooted the computer again.
