    At several sites this morning, affecting urlmon.dll. Nod32 warnings pop up but it appears they are already infected. All using current versions. Anyone else seeing this?

    I am having the same problem, Latest version of nod business edition including latest definition 4351

    "2009-08-20 15:57 - Module Real-time file system protection - Threat Alert triggered on computer wkstn56: C:\WINDOWS\system32\urlmon.dll contains Win32/Adware.Coolezweb application."

    I have submitted this file to Eset, despite virustest reporting this file as being clean?!

    It's getting bad- lots of client sites. Could this be related in any fashion to AutoCAD? All users hit are running various flavors of it.

    Even after running Windows File Protection, can't launch internet Explorer- says urlmon.dll missing.

    we also run autocad 2007-2009 at work however the machine in question does not have autocad installed. The machine recently prompted for an adobe flash player upgrade but failed so it could possibly of corrupted urlmon for me anyway :doubt:

    I'd recommend installing v4 which has much better detection ration than v2 and can clean resistant threats as well.

    It will be fixed in the next update. The file was detected incorrectly. For v3 and v4 users the file will be restored from quarantine automatically shortly after the next update.

    Add me to the list of those being hit this morning. I got a few different messages with the warnings. Some of them said it was noticed because "google updater" was trying to access the file. The other warnings just said back everything up. Here is screenshot of that one:

    I clicked delete file and restarted my computer, but it didn't delete anything. I've also run AdAware and it didn't find anything.
    Is this a glitch with Nod32?

    Edit: Sorry I was lazy, I didn't read all the replies. Thanks for the update Marcos.

    What about 4352? Is that affected too? That's the latest that's just showing up for 2.7

    It looks like only XP SP3 Beta machines were affected for us. For some reason we had a handfull on the Beta version of SP3. They were the only ones that had problems with ESET NOD32 4351.

    Affected multiple machines here too. Tell users not to restart the affected computers. After a restart (which is instructed in the warning message) Outlook and IE will not open.

    Still waiting to hear back from tech support.

    XP SP2 machines were affected here as well. Is anyone else experiencing problems with Outlook and IE after a restart? A bit of good news, I can use Firefox as a browser so I can work at my own desk. Now I just need a solution for email. ;)

    - still no reply from tech support.

    Restoring urlmon.dll from quarantine should fix it. If you were using v3 or v4, this would have been done automatically after the last update.

    Thank you Marcos the latest update 4353 did indeed fix this issue, so I take it that 4351 had a false positive?

    luckily our server farm did not receive this error or we could of been in a "bit" of trouble.

    Windows itself should have notified you in case that file was deleted or modified unless system file checking is disabled. Try running "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sfc.exe /scannow" or copy it from the Windows installation cd. Version 3 and 4 never delete files automatically, you can only set the cleaning mode to "no cleaning" and hit the "Delete" button if a threat is found. V2 allowed the user to disable quarantining files.

    This question remains unanswered from these guys that ended up having to spend substantial time on their clients....which costs money.

    The consultant answers their phone with their client calling...client has several machines in a useless state thus out of production. Support guy dedicates greater part of his day to this issue, time which would have been spent doing more productive things.

    Yes- no explanation. Most of the day wasted... although it was good to talk to You today Brian :) . Another instance of ESET updates causing HUGE grief in our day. Multiple sites, many clients affected. And until we at least found out it was ESET, we thought we had a MAJOR outbreak hitting. And yes, restoring from quarantine SHOULD restore everything to normal, but had a couple it would not. Yes- tried running SFC- didn't work. Frustrating.

    Finally! Ran sfe.exe, "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" and then restart the machine. Back in business on two of my machines now. :D
