Wow, that process explorer is great, there were two programs that had my processor running to the max, I killed both of them and my CPU fan hasn't come on since. I then went into HijackThis to get rid of them, one was called WinUpdate, which I don't use windows update anyway, so I got rid of it the other was that iosdt.exe that you mentioned, but HijackThis can't get rid of it, every time I tell it to delete and then rescan it shows up again. I'm glad I got my laptop running cool again so I can sleep easy toniht, thanks IP: Logged |

I don’t like what I am seeing here C:\DOCUME~1\JOSEPH~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.195\HijackThis.exe This part Rar$EX00.195,go ahead and run a scan here housecall.trendmicro.com Delete this Not so sure what this is Finally go here, http://www.footslog.com/board/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20050327-16-000026.html You mentioned Adaware only, so if you do not have Spybot, Spyware Blaster, and MS Antispyware installed, download install and update them. If you want a better handle on what is running in the background, download Process Explorer. Process Explorer is far more superior then Task Manager, you will be able to actually be able to tell whatever process or services is running in the background, tell where it is coming from, what other programs it might be effecting, and get a little bit more information about the file. Process Explorer can be found in the above link. Let us know if this helps you ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

Thanks, that HijackThis program seemed to find a couple things. Though I have a couple more problems on my laptop, I noticed when I ran adaware a couple days ago it said I had 33 running processes when there are normally 18, so I tried hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del to open the task manager, but it wouldn't work. And what scares me the most is my laptop fan used to come on maybe once a month and now it comes on about every 5 minutes. Please Help, Joe IP: Logged |

Do you have MS Antispyware also installed? Is not go here http://www.footslog.com/board/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20050327-16-000026.html and download it and run it, also download Hijack this and post the results in that scan. That file if not deleted in the MS Antispyware scan should show up in Hijack scan, then we can delete it from that way. ------------------ For every problem, there is a solution.

I recently visited a site that tried to dump loads of spyware on me(it wasn't porn. My AdAware/AdWatch picked it up and I blocked it but it seems that something got through. Now every time I open a folder AdWatch pops up and says something is trying to change a registry value, and my Startup Monitor comes up and says a program called 'u19m8.exe\k' wants to run at system startup. I can't find the named program anywhere. I usually reformat every 6 months just to keep everything clean, and I guess it's time now. But future reference is there anything out there that can take care of a problem like this? IP: Logged |
