You are running a P2P filesharing programme.
  • Many of these programmes come with unwanted components bundled with them.
  • If you wish to find out whether the one you're using does click here.

Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P programme, it is only the programme that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.


My recommendation is you uninstall it.

Run HijackThis
Click on do a system scan only
Place a checkmark next to these lines(if still present)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [CRACK] \WINDOWS\system32\config\crack.lnk

Then close all windows except Hijackthis and click Fix Checked

Use windows explorer to find and delete this file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\crack.lnk

Post back with a new HijackThis log and provide a description of any remaining problems.
