Hi Emil Ny,

Could you please follow the instructions in this post:

Hi Emil,
in the meantime, can you find the file and zip it? or with rightclicking on it rename it to for instance helpexp.exe.bak or such a thing?
so it can't run anymore.

Please do as Pieter advised too with the cleaning tools/logs so there canbe looked immediately at your finds.

Looking forward to results of your next steps.

Are you using XP btw? And maybe have another instance of XP or NT (?) on another partition?

 

I used Adaware6 and im running on Xp, my Problem is listed in my first post.

Reboot after doing so, preferably into safe mode and delete:
C:\Program Files\Alset\HelpExpress <= entire folder

Before you do this, please move HijackThis to another folder. It will not be able to make backups when you run it from the zip folder.

Regards,

Pieter
