Wierd processes running

Anyone have any idea what area.exe or kgkgdloj.exe may be?

area.exe is in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data
kgkgdloj.exe is in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

both are initiated at system startup - I am running Windows ME.
Adaware and Spybot do not flag these but they sure don't look right!

 

Don't have WME but they don't sound like windows stuffs. Search Google for possible match.

 

Did try Google, the only thing that comes up are the Hijack this logs that I posted !

 

Hi ajcstr, look for members-area.exe here. It's an adult content dialler which attempts to dial a high cost telephone
number in order to access pornographic material on your behalf. Lovely!

I see you've had a go at kgkgdloj.exe here. Is there a reason for not following up your HJT post at SpywareInfo?
Don't let frustration get the best of you....when you have someone taking the time to assist,
be courteous and stick with it!

If you decide not to continue, choose another here.
Good Luck.

PS - Sorry not to know about ME, but if there's a system restore, you'll need to boot to safe mode and disable sr first
before running any scans. I believe from a quick read, the dialler resides in the system files.

In addition, you can check if kgkgdloj.exe is a windows process here and here.

Thanks - did not realize that I got a response, must have forgot to check box to send an e-mail notification.

 

FYI - Both of these processes turned out to be related to Purity Scan per Kaspersky's online scanner

 

Thanks for the FYI ajcstr. Guess I was wrong.
In the future, please do a little investigation before you download, OK.
