    Recently, HijackThis! had reported:

    O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows.000\system\drwebsp.dll
    O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows.000\system\drwebsp.dll
    O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows.000\system\drwebsp.dll
    O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows.000\system\drwebsp.dll

    I ran LSPFix utility from cexx.org, crossed my fingers, and it seemed to have worked as thereafter HJT gave me a clean bill of health.

    But now, it seems that DRWEB AV finds ever changing file names - executables - that are "probably a winscript virus." However, said files often have the same icon as does HJT (or the icon seen on this PC) but have names like like xyq.exe and so on and are normally in the Temp DIR but are also sometimes listed as being c:\abc.exe (for example). And, I do have icons on the Desktop that change, now and then.

    Well, take a look please at the below HJT report, and tell me what it indicates if anything. (There are to my eye, some things that bode ill and yes I can of
    course be wrong). The "rename" section may or may not have to do with CCleaner - but I rather doubt it.

    Then, too, WinPatrol keeps throwing up Alerts that odd named or no name files, wish to join the Startup apps. Oh, you bet; if they don't ID themselves properly, I can't see letting them run. What's going on, here?!

    And other than DRWEB AV crying wolf, none of the security apps do, like HJT or Spybot, or TrojanHunter or AdAware SE Plus. What am I missing?

    Thanks for your help,
    Best, SG1 (Pat)
