Can you please send me this to submit@diamondcs.com.au it looks very suspicious
C:\windows\temp\ypcGoeL.exe

 

Gavin - DiamondCS

thanks for the reply

at the end of your reply you asked for this.....

C:\windows\temp\ypcGoeL.exe

but a search turned up nothing at all. What do you think it might be?

 

I fixed the items in HijackThis log and restarted, and the "RUNDLL - Error" window no longer pops up. Thank you. There were about 25 backup files created on the desktop though. I have no idea what they are or what to do with them.... file them away? or delete them?

 

after running the HijackThis fix,there are now only these in C:\WINDOWS\temp

(1) ~sraxdir.tmp (a file folder) containing axt16F.swf (Shockwave Flash Object) 45 KB
(2) hpdbglog.txt (a 1 KB Text Document)
