    Hi I am having some major issues with a Trojan.
    This is the info NOD32 gives me,

    Time
    2/2/2006 15:52:56 PM
    Module Object
    AMON
    File Name
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmsmgs.exe
    Threat
    Win32/Codbot trojan
    Action
    quarantined - deleted
    User
    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
    Information
    Event occurred at an attempt to access the file by the application: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe.


    So I ended that file wmsmgs.exe comes up everytime my pc starts, even though I deleted it from the start up it still starts up and I am not sure which process starts it. Also my pc loads very very very slowly now when I boot up, once in windows and I ctrl+alt+delete and close the wmsmgs.exe process then it is fine. I really need help with this one guys, thanks.

    Sounds like you need to do a Hijack This! scan/log. That program is available here: http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

    Log analysis is not available from Wilders anymore but if you send me the log (via PM) I'll be more than happy to look at it for you. Just do not fix entries without havin the log analyzed.

    shanijee I tried to run in safe mode and run nod32 scan but it said this:
    Error occurred while scanning operating memory. System memory cannot be scanned (the kernel service is not running or an error occurred while loading nod32m1.vxd).

    I actually think i deleted the file, but for some reason where time my computer boots up it loads the trojan, but when windows actually starts it doesn't load it because i took it off from start up. so that is why my windows loads soooo slowly because of the trojan, but once in windows my pc seems fine.

    can anyone help me with this tricky one?
    perhaps some NOD32 employee or something

    windows still loads very very slow before i log into my windows account, and also sometimes my system process and system idle process takes 100% of resources when i am not doing much.

    hopefully someone can help me track this thing down because i really don't want to format.

    Have you tried booting into safe mode and instead of using NOD32 to try to get rid of the trojan, use something like ewido or some other trojan scanner to see if it can detect and remove the file properly?

    Have you tried looking in your Services. (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services) ?
    Perhaps it's something there. ;) Or if you can't manage it, try to scan you PC online with Bit Defender or install ewido. :)

    The System Idle Process is *supposed* to take up 100% of the CPU when the computer is idle. This is by design. It is more or less how Windows says, "Nothing is going on." ;)

    Of course, anything else taking up 100% would be a problem. When looking at the process list in the Task Manager, you can sort by the different categories by clicking on the headers. For example, to sort by CPU usage, click on the header that says "CPU" once to sort it in descending order, and again to sort it in ascending order. This makes it meuch easier to see what it sucking up all the CPU.

    When I'm doing nothing, my pc is doing something. Probably indexing files or something. Quite normal though.

    Maybe so, but then those other processes would show CPU usage. System Idle Process accounts for CPU time that has not been assigned to any threads. By its definition, then, when the computer is perfectly idle, it will be at 100%. Since the computer never is truly idle, it hovers in the 97%-99% range when "nothing" is going on.

    Hi:

    Did you turn off system restore, reboot and then run a Scan & Clean?

    Have you tried a scan in safe mode with Ewido? Have you tried a Hijack this log?

    ok i think i am going to give this Ewido program a try, can i install it ontop of NOD32 without a problem? because i know security programs often conflict with each other.

    There should be no issue at all but if you do run into problems Please do post about the problem in our ewido anti-malware forum.

    No that Ewido program found nothing, it just found some cookies that's it.
