Ok, I have the same file on my computer (wupdater.exe). And after a while, my computer screen gets all messed up and i can't really see anything. When I try to ctrl+alt+delete it says that its trying to close wupdater.exe, but then it can't and i have to click "end now". Several times I've had to go to the installation CD given to me from dell and reinstall my video card drivers. I just read over this thread and deleted "wupdater.exe" and the entire "updater" folder that it was in. I didn't really know what anyone was talking about in this thread, but it sounded like by doing that I am still not rid of this virus. Can you let me know? Thanks....

Welcome to TSG!

Please do this. Go here http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ and download Hijack This. Un Zip it and click on the Hijackthis.exe.

Click the "Scan" button when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.

Go to where you saved the log and click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.

Do NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required. Someone here will be glad to advise you on what to fix.

You should go back to the main page of the Security forum and click on "New Thread" and start your own thread and post the Hijack This log. It get's too confusing otherwise.

Hi ShiftyCapone,

Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

R3 - URLSearchHook: PerfectNavBHO Class - {A045DC85-FC44-45be-8A50-E4F9C62C9A84} - C:\PROGRA~1\PERFEC~1\BHO\PERFEC~1.DLL

O2 - BHO: NavErrRedir Class - {A045DC85-FC44-45be-8A50-E4F9C62C9A84} - C:\PROGRA~1\PERFEC~1\BHO\PERFEC~1.DLL
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

O3 - Toolbar: &SearchBar - {0494D0D9-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\Program Files\MyWay\myBar\2.bin\MYBAR.DLL

Then reboot and delete:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\PERFECTNAV <= entire folder
C:\Program Files\MyWay <= entire folder

Looking at your running processes, you forgot the bottom half of your log, which has some more spyware in it.
Could you please post a new log when you are done.

Regards,

Pieter

*BUMP*

Can someone please help me out here. I think this thing may be screwing with my video card. Everytime I play counter-strike online now my screen goes all crazy. And sometimes I have to reinstall the drivers for my videocard. Take a look at the screenshots from the game and lemme know what you think.
