How are you doing with the fix?

[martyfrancis]

Hello LDTate Sorry not to have got back to you. I am at work for a week and so won't be back home until Thursday 13th April. (I am away at sea). So have not done a Panda scan as yet. Will continue with daugther's lap top problem once I'm back home. Thanks and regards, Marty

[LDTate]

OK....

[Micah_6:8]

Sorry to interfere here gentlemen...


I was wondering if the recurring "anyname".exe in the Windows\temp folder has a "doggie" for it's file icon?


If so, it's not malware. I believe it's related to this software:

O23 - Service: OfficeScanNT RealTime Scan (ntrtscan) - Trend Micro Inc. - C:\OfficeScan NT\ntrtscan.exe

I have an example from someone I helped a while back still on my machine. I'll look to see if it's 169k as you've described.

Again.... Please pardon my intrusion....

[martyfrancis]

Hello Micah_6:8 Thank you for your comment. Yes, the file in the c:\windows\temp folder does have a "doogie" for it's file icon. If you are correct, once I return home, I will run msconfig and inhibit (untick) c:\officeScan NT\ntrtscan.exe to see if it then disappears. Hopefully, you will be correct and my problem will be solved. Thanks again for your suggestion. Regards, Marty

[LDTate]

Hey Micah_6:8, nice to see you posting again This is a new one on me. Hope that is the fix. Marty will let us know.

[Micah_6:8]

The example file I have is 168k long.

Here is the link to the thread where I first encountered this:

Click Me

They also had Officescan on their machine.

WOW, first time I've ever seen a program create random .exe in the temp folder

Thanks

[LDTate]

Marty, did you get the chance to find out if Micah_6:8 was right?

[martyfrancis]

Hi LDTate No, I am still at work. I fly back home in about eights hours time. I'll definately check it then and come back to you both. Regards Marty.

[LDTate]

Have a safe flight

[martyfrancis]

Hello LDTate and Micah_6.8
I unloaded AVG Free, booted into Safe made and ran AFT Cleaner and System Security Suite to ensure the windows\temp folder was empty. Then rebooted back into normal mode and checked contents of temp folder: found "anyname.exe" with "doggie" icon (169Kb) had reloaded into it.
Ran msconfig and unticked "avgcc" but whenever I rebooted it reloaded and reappeared in the startup.
I think it is just a piece left over from deleting AVG Free antivirus software and not malware???
Meanwhile, the computer (laptop) is running much better and I think it is probably clear of any other malwear. Your final comment would be appreciated. Regards, Marty.

Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.





If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Hello LDTate and Micah_6:8 Thanks for those final instructions which I followed through and created a new restore point. Micah_6:8 I don't think I need to e-mail a copy of anyname.exe for disecting because as you say, it is part of AVG Free. To both of you my heartfelt thanks. In particular to LDTate for sticking with me through to the end (some 43 postings). Many thanks from a Kiwi (New Zealand).

[LDTate]

Great job You're more then welcome. Glad we were able to help Peace be with you
