[Viracocha]

Yeah my task manager will not work at all. I press the button after Ctrl alt del and click on the task manager button and poof...nothing ust back to screen. Also my Limewire pro program keeps coming on, and this laptop is running really slow. I did the CoolWeb Search and other nasties but no luck! any ideas? I did run adaware adn it came up with win 32.p2p worm alcan.

thanks

Fix these worms:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdate] C:\Program Files\winupdate\winupdate.exe /auto
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [p2pnetworking] p2pnetworking.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [p2pnetworking] p2pnetworking.exe

These are most likely unneeded as well:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: Domain = paradigmfunds.com
O17 - HKLM\Software\..\Telephony: DomainName = paradigmfunds.com
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: Domain = paradigmfunds.com

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html


Run HJT with no other programmes open, have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Locate and delete the following bold file(if there).

Reboot into normal mode, and turn system restore back on.
